My comp is 6 yrs old but I have kept it up to date: intel 4 core, 8 gb ram and today a GEFORCE GTX 650 ti BOOST graphics card, yet still pp 2012 works like it is running on steam when previewing using Open GL: works well enough using SREED preview. The computer man tells me, and every other program confirms, that my sytstem is hot. He says the problem is pp2012 and has gone to investigate - I rely on him, he's a lovely chappie that won't take payment for the new graphics card unless pp2012 works, he'll just put back my old GC if he can't sort it.

Can any one help with advice about how pp2012 acceses the open GL facilty on the card? The main problem is a three seond lag between instruction, eg. selecting and dragging a prop, and the action when usin Open Gl, it is slightly quicker using SREED. Camera has a similar three second lag. I have triple buffering enabled as well as threaded optimisation, sadly, that makes no odds. The rest is application controlled.

I am having to compose models and scenes in pp2010 then send them to pp2012 for rendering, which, IDL apart, it does well.

Because of the lag weight mapping is impractical

I want to buy pp2014 but until I can get pp2012 working it would be silly, and I really want some of the features in pp2014.

Thank you for reading this anf for any ideas you might have.
