Gui Lag in 2019.10 on OS 10.13.6

[pherzfeld]

Hey everyone. Ive actually experienced this issue over the last few versions of Pro Tools, and on Sierra as well as High Sierra. Often (not always) when I zoom in on a at some point (zoomed in pretty close) Pro Tools begins to lag. If I try to zoom out it will zoom out 1 frame every 5 seconds or so until it gets to a certain point and begins to work normally. Sometimes restarting Pro Tools helps, sometimes not.

Any advice?

What Pro Tools version are you running?

I knew I forgot something....
2019.10. This issue has persisted through multiple versions though

Well you'd think with a computer that powerful you wouldn't have lag issues. Maybe a plugin is causing it. Have you tried opening a session with plugins disabled?

How many screens are you using, and what resolution are they running?

Screens....you may be on to something here...

Two screens - Main screen over hdmi running 1080p - second monitor running on DVI to display port adapter (generic, not apple) running 1080p.
