X2a Graphic Performance
Hi,
Sonars' Gui starts to be sluggish if project is getting bigger. I have no problem with audio but editing can be a big pain when graphic update getting slow. Are there any tweaks to enhance Gui Performance?
Windows7 64bit / X2a 64bit
12 GB Ram
i7 870 @2.93 2.93 GHz
ATI Radeon HD 6510 (Latest driver)
Thanks.

You might get better performance if you clear out your picture cache.
Sonar will re-create all the necessary images the next time you open a project.

Yup - I do that frequently.
Performance also depends on your graphics capabilities.

Agreed. If you have a SSD, you can put the picture cache there.

Yes, I already clear out my picture cache. I think it is time to pay for new video card...

I actually run two monitors out of my on-board graphics, and have no issues.
I used to have 2 high-end graphics cards, but one went bad and I gave the other one to somebody who needed one.
I wouldn't go overboard on shopping for a new graphics card.

I am currently using my on-board graphics to run 2 display monitors, and have zero problems with doing so.

Sonar will re-create all the necessary images the next time you open a project.
Since these files are only needed while the project is open, it would be sooo nice if Sonar auto-cleared them when closing the project. Steve

Agreed. But in addition to mentioning it here in the forum it might help to submit a feature request: http://www.cakewalk.com/support/contact/featurerequest.aspx
