Default Graphics Hardware question

I am finding that the FX Windows and possibly other windows also take a while to open in Reaper. I don’t have much to compare to except that it generally takes about 1-2 seconds. My machine is only a year old with an i7800 processor.

Could this be my graphics card causing this or is this the same for most people?

Here are my machine specs:

a suggestion: Have you tried running resplendence.com`s excellent latency checker? The parts list appear to think you may have potential clashes with slot-sharing.

In any case, that latency checker will also give you warning of any other potential issues you may have.
Sorry that`s all I got without knowing what interface, etc you are using and of course what other apps you may have running that could be disputing control over the GFX stuff. Good luck!

people have gone mad these days... if something takes 1 or 2 seconds to happen they can't stand that horrendous wait time...

let's see now.... "when having sex with my GF it often takes....." Is there anyway I can tweak a setting to make it faster????

"when I drink beer and have to take a leak it often takes........" Is there anyway I can make that faster so I can get back to drinking sooner???

on and freakin' on...

Erm, actually I usually find myself tweaking the same 'setting' to make it last a bit longer!

I'm sure it's not the video card.

What plugins are we talking about? Your username implies that you are a composer, which might imply that you're loading VSTi's with samples?

I'd guess it's either heavyweight plugins or loading samples causing the delay?
