maya 2011 lag

hey everyone im having a problem with maya 2011 on one computer. works on every other computer i have use it on. but what is confusing is that the computer it wont work on has much better hardware then the others. my main problem is that when i build any shape then click it and try to rotate it dosnt move then mabey 1-2 seconds later my view of the object is in a different location. same thing goes when i deselect the object and then try to rotate. everytime i select or deselect any simple object right after opening maya and i try to do something it has a 2 sec delay, and sometimes maya just freezes completly and i have to reopen. please help i really need to get this to work. :( the more and more tris it gets to the worse it gets.

    This might be the ATI driver issue with most of the newer drivers, you can revert to some older drivers or you can use this trick here vvvv

    I should note that this method works. It's something that we figured out in the Marmoset thread (stickied at the top of this forum). With this method you can have your cake (latest drivers for *insert game*) and eat it too (driver dlls that don't break Maya or *insert other software*). I threw this together (it's written for Marmoset but works the same way with Maya).

    *See also.

    *Note this doesn't work for the 6000 or higher series cards because they aren't supported by the older drivers.

    11.3 supposedly removes the selection lag issue.

    damnit so much ramble in my first psot and i didint post specs. windows 7 ultimate 64, i7-2600k, 12gb ram, gforce 580. sorry that was not previously posted. there is no reason maya shouldnt work on this computer. but the same download and version works on my lesser laptop.

    i tried downloading 32 bit, i tried 2012 64 tried 2010 64 all of them have the same lag problem, makes it impossible to do anything.

    Your laptop is using a different videocard and likely different drivers, I suggest checking which drivers your laptop is using if nvidia and try those out, if it is using ati or the same drivers, just roll back to some older ones.
