orbit laggs in 3ds max 2011

Olli. · Jun 2012

hey im experiencing some really dumb lag in 3ds max when using orbit in the viewport (alt + mmb)
FPS reads 200+ all the time, so that cant be the problem, and i can use all other navigation controls (like pan) in the viewport without any lag

If you are using dual monitors, try running max on your primary monitor.

nope just one monitor for me
here are my driver settings:

update drivers.
Make sure UDK isn't running in the BG with realtime update on.

I think it's "normal". I've always seen FPS counts of 3000+ and viewport framerates of about 35-40. I'm assuming Max's FPS counter is counting the time it takes to send messages to the API, rather than the full frame time.

Yep, I get it too... I normally get around it by using ctrl-r to switch to orbit.

Oh, btw - the alt thing is a bug with the toolbar. Note how it selects a toolbar item, then deselects it, over and over again, stuttering and jumping in time. Quite a big thing to miss to be honest.
