    I’ll have to double check but I think there should be the latest drivers. Footage is either Prores 1080 or RED 4K (usually with 1/4 resolution).

    One other strangeness with this PC is that it tends to wait for a while before it allows the removal of a USB stick or a drive, and the harddrives seem to be working lot during that “hanging”. I have upgraded the motherboard from P9X79 Pro to the E-WS and it’s the same behaviour with both mobos (Re-installed Windows and all drivers of course when installed new mobo)

    Do you have any power saving options on?

    No.. there might be a HD sleep setting after 1 hour, I might try to uncheck that also.

    You might want to check that your USB ports aren’t in power save mode. They should be in the advanced power settings.

    Came back to this subject after putting together a i7 5960X 8-core system with GTX 780 gpu, and it performs really nicely, runs realtime 4K, but the snappiness is far from my old 4-core i7 2600K system. But voila, after turning off the onboard Davinci video scopes, the system responsiveness becomes really nice. People were saying that nowdays there’s no use for a GUI GPU, but I have to disagree..

    I really like the Davinci scopes and prefer to use them instead something like Ultrascope. Haven’t tested Scopebox though.
