    Problem white nearly to identical Avid MC6/BM Studio.

    System 1 is very sluggish on the timeline, compared to system 2. Both systems is connected to Avid Unity and also running on Interplay. The sluggishnes is going away if I use the function “Toggle Client Monitor” from inside MC6. We only working in SD right now. The details for the editor hardware is:

    System 1:

    Nvidia Quadro FX3800
    6 GB RAM
    Atto FC-41ES fiber HBA
    BM Studio, 9.5.3 drivers

    System 2:

    HP Z400 2. generation
    Nvidia Quadro FX4000
    12 GB RAM
    Atto FC-41ES fiber HBA

    Both system is configures regarding to Avid Configurations Guidelines. I tried to swop the two graphiccards, but white the same resulte. Also tries to swop the two BM card, also white the same resulte.

    Make sure your on driver 9.5.3. This fixed a lot of issues with MC. And on my systems is silky smooth.
