Default Re: Choppy video with new laptop

Hi,

I am just referring to the graphics within Pro Tools (the counter, clip/level meters, etc). I'm only processing audio, not video files. The 1TB 5400 drive is just used for storage and backup of projects, not used at all for active projects. I'm at home with my laptop now. The 7200 RPM audio drive is at my drummer's place where we do most of our recording. At home when I record ideas, I use a 32GB flash drive as my audio drive, which has worked fine for me on my previous computer (2011 MacBook pro). I have the same choppy graphics if I record/playback from the internal 256GB SSD as well. Disk cache was set to "Normal". I tested setting it to 3GB and the graphics choppiness is unchanged.

Looking at the System Usage meters within Pro Tools, it shows between 50-54% of memory. Disk is at 0% when not playing, and goes up to 2-3% when playing back a session. CPU maxes at around 36%, with the most active core showing around 32%.

For some reason, the report is showing my internal SSD as a 5400RPM drive, but I assure you it is an SSD. I'm not sure why it shows up that way.

Here is the Sandra report:
