Side note: I typically try to avoid scaling at OS level in Windows, since I try to keep Windows from messing things up. Once I figured out how to get rid of those a few years ago and run just the barebones Nvidia drivers (while also disabling some power savings settings), most spurious latency spikes disappeared for me.Īnd my new AMD Ryzen 7900X based system with just using the builtin GPU has been working fine with Cubase 12 in a dual monitor (combined desktop) setup (4k and WQHD), both running at 60Hz in their respective native resolutions, one over DP, the other over HDMI. In my experience, Nvidia GPU drivers for advanced gaming features were often the culprit.

It’s about the interrupts, round trip processes, if the drivers are naff or the graphics card is slow then this will cause Spikes in the asio meter and bottleneck your PC, Steinberg sort of recognise this but still say only a mediocre GPU will do, my findings in the practical real world are different
