SLATE FGX > on i7 (2600k) more hungry than on old quad (

[dcb]

anyone else experienced something like this ? :

moving from your old system (32 bit, cubase 6 32 bit, quad e6600 or similar)
to an i7 system (64 bit, cubase 6 32 bit)

>> fgx now takes up 40-60% asio power.

i cant use fgx on my mixes anymore, while i could easily on my old (slower) system... im talking to slate atm. about this, hopefully well find an answer.
but : anyone else on i7/i5 systems with fgx eating up THAT much cpu?

is this common?
thanks guys!

which OS is it, i guess it's W7!?
if so, go to the "energieoptionen"
and set "höchstleistung"

the options "energiesparmodus" and "ausbalanciert" choke everything down.


cheers

[Zombietakeover]

whats that in english?

 

[FIXXXER]

erergyoptions, ernergymanagement...must be something like that.
there are three options, balanced, energy saving and full performance.

cheers

(But I don't think it fixes the FG:X prob...)

 

[dcb]

thanks guys, but i already did all that... :-(
its really only fgx...

anyone else with win7 64bit , i7 2600k and fgx?

Im on almost that system.. I7 win64 and cubase 5 32bit.
Not sure if it takes as much, but my meter does take a big hit everytime.

Is there a way in cubase to find out how much load a single plugin is taking on your system in % (have seen you can get a list of that in other daws.. but never found it in cubase)

can you try this for me?

open a new project > insert one stereo audiotrack > instert fgx

does your asio meter jump up to 40-60 % too?
thanks!

Think I´m a little bit late ;-).........but anyway.
Is it normal that only one FG-X takes so much cpu???
Solution?

Yup, FG-X is REALLY cpu-hungry plugin.

I got similar problem with a particular video capture software. I set w7 for the best performances but I had problems.
I had to delete useless processes and programs to improve a little the performances.
What about the bios? Did you try to change cpu settings there? There should be some kind of Turbo mode

 

[fak0u]

FGX only takes 3.5% of my CPU (i5-2500K)

 

[lelahel]

same problem, win7 64 cubase 5.1
i7-960

 

[dcb]

i still think its an win 7 64 bit problem, never had these problems on win xp...
though i never got any real help from slate, they just told me they forwarded that problem to fabrice i think.
never heard back from them (2 months ago). now i use ozone again most of the time and think about selling fgx....

i did try a lot of settings. nothing really helped.

Im running the same system...but on pt 9! It's jumping between 22-24%!

i just switched to an i7 system and i get some similar issues. i instantly get asio spikes as soon as i load up FG-X.
the asio meter is about 1/5 full so it actually should not come to any overloads.

danny, did you get any response from fabrice yet!?

cheers

[MindKEYS]

FGX only takes 3.5% of my CPU (i5-2500K)

If on a I5 2500K it only takes 3,5% CPU, the difference between an I7 2600 and a 2500 is the Hyperthreading, anyone tried disabling it?

they got back to me a few days ago, im part of the beta team now.
but have no solution yet... still the same problem.

i will have to try 64 bit to see if there is problems with that..
