Sluggish graphics, but on only 1 of 2 screens on Trashcan

Post by dreamuse »

Hi all,

I'm running 2013, OS 10.14.6. For some reason, certain plugins run really sluggishly on one monitor--if I drag the plugin onto the other screen, the graphic performance becomes snappy once again, as well as DP transport commands.

FWIW, when I bring up a system report, I see I've got 2 AMD FirePro D300's, but only one of them is being used to fire up both monitors. Not sure if this is related, but interesting.

Any clues here?

Much thanks in advance,

Len

Glad it worked. I have no idea as to the cause, but it crops up fairly frequently. I never had the problem, because I calibrated the display on my iMac long ago.

So many things we do like this, right? Like well-informed superstition. :)

Thanks again, and have a great (better?) 2022!
