The more your camera sees of a displaced object, the more polygons Vue generates for the render.  14 million may be too high a polygon count to displace because Vue will turn that into a billion, depending on the resolution of your displacement generator.

I'm displacing a Mars terrain.  The original object (before displacing) is 200,000 polygons.  But when I had it at 8 million, Vue had trouble.  After displacement, the 200,000 is turned into 10-14 million (depending on how much was in the camera view at render time).
