I created a video of the problem and uploaded it to my vimeo account. Hope it helps to understand:
http://vimeo.com/43892712
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz
8GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 580 Phantom
256 Samsung SSD
Supertalent SSD (Dedicated to Adobe Media Cache and Windows Temp file)
3 HDD(dedicated to Video and Project and exports)
This is a fresh and clean install on the new Samsung SSD (latest firmware), AHCI enabled.
Only system drivers and the whole Production Premium CS6 are installed.
Problem:
There is a clear Mouse lag while clicking and selecting/marking things in the timeline window. The more layers I have and the more keyframes are shown, the bigger the mouse lag is. It is even bigger than in the video with other comps I have.
This happened to me in CS4 (but I guess that was due to an issue with the wacom tablet driver that supposedly was solved with CS5).
But the driver and Wacom tablet aren't even installed yet, and I experienced this lag with CS4, CS5, CS5.5 and now CS6. Even though it was stated that the GUI is accelerated a lot in this release (via an Nvidia GPU). So I bought a new Nvidia Card (GTX 580), and indeed working is more fun now, but the timeline lag still appears. Before I had an GTX 260.
Turning on or off the preference "Hardware accelerate panels" doesn't do any difference. Also "Use multi CPU rendering" doesn't help the lag.
Is this the old processor Core 2 Quad @ 2.4 and the old SATA2 Bus? I'm willing to invest into a new Ivy Bridge CPU and 32GB of RAM (and a new mainboard), but I already did invest into a new GPU , a new SSD, new CS6 (which is supposed to drew faster on the screen in AFX). And it didn't really help the lag issue. SO I just don't want to get disappointed again.
I also tried a different mouse (PS2 cable), but that didn't help either.
Anybody having the same issues?
Any advice or help, please?
Thanx,
Martin
