[QUOTE="SilverBalls, post: 275008, member: 340"] [b]Started running slow again! But needed to do another thing.[/b] I started up the PC this morning to do some more testing. After doing an Alt-Tab I no longer was getting 60fps with the '3D' views. I was getting a quite high 51-55 fps but the game was again not playable due to a jittery ball. I was using MM, AFM and the Dr Who tables. There was no change made to my cables, config, etc. so this was bizarre. I tried disabling Avast (there is an option to disable it for a short period so I used 10 mins), and then a smooth 60fps came back. During my testing yesterday Avast was on (is fact I never normally disable it). After 10 mins the FPS dropped again when Avast re-enabled itself. If I look at the Avast processes in he task manager they are showing 0% CPU utilisation. So in summary to get the DX11 Cab build to run smoothly using the 3 '3D' I needed to disable Avast and change to an HDMI cable for the playfield monitor. Important Note though that for the DX11 Cab build, the flat view 4 was working smoothly at 60fps with the old DVI cable AND with Avast running. Another observation I made today. When I launch the TPA cab version, BEFORE I alt-tab the table is running at about 35-40 fps. The TPA EXE CPU usage is at a steady 14-15%. After Alt-Tabbing the TPA CPU usage goes to a steady 24-25%. I guess this is what gives me the extra FPS's needed for smooth ball movement. For you gust334, the alt-tab doesn't do this, but your CPU is clearly being under-utilised. I have no idea what it is, but maybe what I observe with the CPU may give FS some ideas. [/QUOTE]
