Hi all,
Thank you for reading this. Here's my setup:

Fusion 360 is so slow that it's basically unusable. Here's a video about what I'm talking about:
Any advice is appreciated. At this point, I can't even use 360.
I loaded up your assembly and do not see much lag at all which you can see in my Screencast. I am on a over 12 year old Windows 10 Pro computer with 16 GB of ram, I7 Intel Processor and a Nvidia Quadro 2000M video card.

Thanks for your reply! That option that you mentioned in the video was not checked off for me. After checking it off, the performance did improve significantly. However, picture resolution now is (perhaps expectedly) dampened. Here's a picture:
If you look at the lines of the "red cube," there's noticeable jaggedness.
Would upgrading my machine to a newer model fix the issue (ideally working with models at the highest resolution)? If so, do you happen to have any recommendations in terms of processors etc.?
Thank you again!
I am a Windows user and MAC architecture and OS is really outside my realm so I dare not say. I run a standard monitor, not HD, and you can see I do not suffer from any sharpness problems. I have the option to select as my Graphic Driver under my Preferences but I do not think you have to same options on a MAC, again not sure. If you do, try the OpenGL setting. Sorry I cannot advise you.

A dedicated graphics card generally performs better than the on-board or rather on-CPU Intel Iris graphics.
I use a 2017 MacBook Pro with Radeon Pro 560 4 GB and also use an external 4K monitor (LG CX 48").
When I have the monitor connected directly to my MacBook, manipulating models in the viewport is still smooth but noticeable less smooth then if I only use the notebooks Retina display (I usually have most effects disabled except Anti Aliasing).
However I also recently bought a used Blackmagic EGPU (eBay), which uses a Radeon 580 RX. With the external monitor connected to it, viewport manipulation is not only smooth, but smoother than running only the notebook display.
