More detail please. There is an endless list of reasons why things could be lagging. How big is your model, are you in proxy or standard mode, what kind of graphics card do you have, how much memory do you have, what version of maya are you using, what is your workflow, what is your operating system, is your toaster plugged in, what is the phase of the moon..... user added image

More info would make providing an answer easier.

well, hmmm. 2k poly does not seem that dense. even at display level 2 there would only be 32k polygons if I have done the math correctly. I am not up to speed on ati graphics cards so not sure if that might be the issue or not. Just to be clear in poly mode it does not lag but when you go to subd it becomes slow to navigate (tumble, pan, zoom)?

Do you mean the sculpt geometry tool? It might be slow due to the underlying method of subdivision surfaces. To test, convert the model back into polygons. Then use a poly smooth with 2 divisions. Try to sculpt on that. Is it fast then?

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
