Maya 2018, lag?

Moety

Hey guys, just installed the student licence/ version of maya 2018. However oddly enough I'm getting quite a bit of lag without anything going on in my veiwport (empty scene.) 
Which is odd, since I just finished building the pc and the components are all fairly high-end. Any idea what could be causing this låg?

Have you got the video cable plugged into the graphics card or the motherboard?

do you have the intetnet connection turned on.? maya does strange things without internet...

check what graphics driver you are using in preferences and post it here. also post your viewport preferences. msaa and ao can seriously slow down a scene.

Haha yeah it's plugged into the GPU. oglu said:

Yep.

Also, not sure how to check which viewport settings I have but they're still on default.


Another problem I'm having is a loss of progress on certain projects, or mesh distortion when importing to maya 2018.
One file I had as .mb .ma and .obj, all of these had similar errors.

Try to disable some plugins. Maybe it will helps.

Are you able to check those files on another computer? This might be an indication of a power problem, given that it's a new build.
