In the menu, click Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View and tick the box Force Skia software rendering. OK and allow LibreOffice to restart. On restart LibreOffice should be more responsive.

it’s better than before now, but it’s still quite laggy. Also I prefer hardware accelerated rendering because otherwise it’s wasting my GPU and also it’s faster, I use a 240hz monitor so I like responsiveness.

Try updating your graphics driver directly from the vendor.

I updated my graphics drivers now, but it is the same as before.

Try now the @ErnestAI comment.

I think LibreOffice will be using integrated graphics, not the card. The integrated graphics will stumble with Skia, best to allow the more powerful CPU to handle the load by rendering in software.
.
I did try once to force LibreOffice to use my nVidia card instead of the integrated graphics but it was unsuccessful. Maybe you can try

I have already confirmed it is using my dedicated GPU. It is a very powerful GPU, quite overkill for LibreOffice, so it should not be struggling whatsoever. My GPU is much more powerful than my CPU at rendering and I want to use it, and since it continued to lag using software rendering, it is likely not a GPU problem.

Wait, it doesn’t say my GPU in the information does it? I should check again.
