Graphics Issues

Hi folks,
Does anyone have an idea why I am having this problem? Everything on my screens (dual monitors) in my Sonar sessions seems to have an absurdly slow refresh rate or something. When I scroll up, down or sideways it seems to move frame by frame in a VERY slow, jerky manner. I even checked to see if the pause/break key had been accidentally pushed (old Sonar trick to conserve resources). It seems to be getting worse.
 
I have checked the status on the GPU (NVidia GEForce GT 630) and it's working properly and the drivers are up to date. I don't have graphics issues with anything else. Video streams and plays fine, display for graphics work is fine as well. It just happens in Sonar.
 
I'm supposed to start mixing an album today but it's way to distracting to use Sonar at the moment. Any ideas would be incredibly appreciated!!!!
 
Thanks!!!!

The AMD FX series processors do not have integrated graphics, it requires a discrete GPU, as compared to the APU series, which have integrated graphics.
 
But looking at these system specs, there should not be any issues displaying Sonar graphics.
 
Since the graphics work OK with Windows, there must be a conflict somewhere when Sonar runs.
 
If you are running real-time antivirus, have you tried disabling real-time protection?
 
Have you tried disabling or unplugging any unused USB hardware?
 
Disabled your network or wi-fi interface?
 
Maybe an audio driver or bus is conflicting with the graphics driver or bus?
 
Have you tried launching Sonar with just one of your audio interfaces connected?

Do you other non-Sonar programs operate like normal?
 
If so, I'd guess that you accidentally pressed your "Pause/Break" key on your QWERTY keyboard (or maybe it was scroll lock). There is an intentional option added to Sonar to restrict graphics processing and free up CPU load.
 
Edit: DUH!!! Nevermind, you listed the pause/break thing in your OP. Maybe it got assigned to a keybinding or something? Do you use any macros that would enable such a setting? I used to this a lot in my GUI builds back in my banking days.

Hi abacab,
Everything appears normal in Latency Mon with or without Sonar running. Everything is in the green.

Running any effects? Could try the "E" key to disable all effects. I have a corrupted project which works fine with when effects are disabled using the "E" key but screws up even if I disable all known effects including Pro Channel. No idea why.
