CPU spike - Windows 8 - AMD FX-8120 processor
Hey Reaperites
I recently purchased a new Asus CM1831 - AMD FX-8120 - 8 core tower. It came pre-loaded with Windows 7 Home, and I upgraded the tower to Windows 8 and did a complete wipe on the tower.
Reaper worked fine on an old Acer Intel Core Duo Quad tower I was running.
On my new Asus tower the program is constantly in CPU spike mode.
Insert 100 tracks it runs 40-50% steady on the CPU without anything in the tracks. Run a high track count ie: 200 tracks with music associated and it maxes between 89%-100%.
I've verified this with the performance monitor and with the windows task manager performance meter. The problem is consistant.
I am running an old M-Audio 2496 soundcard.
Oddly enough I am running Acid Pro 7 and Studio One Pro v2 fine on this system.
So what gives? I am in the middle of trying to finish my record off and am now at a standstill.
I can't believe this would be a problem with my new tower...
Please feel free to educate me if I am wrong.

Sucks. Have you done any investigation?
Do a fresh install of reaper and see if you still have the same problem(use a portable install to some temp dir then run reaper from there).
Try using a different audio card(maybe don't use asio or use built in sound card). It could be the drivers.
Make sure you are not monitoring all the tracks simultaneously as this could potentially be an issue.
Please look into it and report back. Reaper settings are pretty important too. Reaper gives you a lot of power to configure but having the wrong settings can really f*ck up reaper.

Hey BigLibTard
Yeah I've done a fresh install of Reaper uninstalled - tried previous versions as well.
As per the audio card I've even used a little Focusrite 2i2 that's windows 8 ready on their drivers. Same deal with that card.
I will try a portable install of Reaper (I am assuming on a seperate hard drive would be best)
I will check the monitoring as well.
Thanks again!
I will report back.

Hey Nevermind
I got the link to work on my smartphone. The glories of technologies.
I will test it out later tonight.
A home version of that program.
In the end so far I have emailed AMD as well to see if they have any driver updates for the chipset coming out. Don't imagine I will hear anything until next week.

I'm terribly sorry but it doesn't help you when the discussion and information is spread over 2 places. This is the issue tracker, a database for confirmed/confirmable REAPER bugs and well-discussed feature requests, not a discussion forum. Alas we can't simply move things between the tracker and the forum. So please continue troubleshooting in the forum thread, thanks!
