I am having pretty bad realtime spikes (they start after just a few tracks and occur even if my average load is about half.)
Soloing the track doesnt help much (I cant really do realtime exports because I usually get "cpu load maxxed) error midway …
I have noticed that disabling the “cursor line” (the one that runs along the screen showing you where the cursor is located) is causing a lot of “spikes” and disabling it does help - but the performance is still below par …
Now, I have a PCI soundcard system (3 cards) so I thought I would refrain from installing a video card (as to keep the PCI/PCIe bus free from communication) and put the load on the CPU (I didnt expect this Aero nonesense …)
I have a new i7-4790 64bit PC With H97-D3H Gigabyte MoBo.
(I am currently not running video alongside projects)
Do you think a video card would be a substantial improvement to performance (vs. the onboard one) and is there a recomended card for this case ?
Thanks in advance
