And this is a BRAND NEW INSTALL ON BRAND NEW EQUIPMENT…top of the line equipment. Now, I drudge along fighting cpu performance spikes. Haswell 5960 (cost $1000 for processor alone), new $350 motherboard, $500 worth of ram-32gig 2400 speed, and all ssd drives. I simply went and bought the most expensive, crazy computer ever. I then went back to 7.5…and good GOD…it did the same thing there as well! Almost as if having 8.0 in the system had messed everything up. My VST performance dropped horribly in 8.0. I can confirm EXACTLY what The Valley is saying. I love Steinberg software but this is no fun… Either way, the past two months have been arduous composing and mixing. I’m not sure if I’m rambling or just confirming a deeper issue. However, when I do go back to experiment my cpu behaves similar to C8 with it’s spikes. My templates are much larger than that and spread out among a mac mini slave via VEPro 5.

I don’t know if it’s an absolute threshold, ie after 8 megs the cpu starts choking, or if it’s how much space you have left in ram for system resources, but my 16 gig of ram macbook pro doesn’t seem to like it when I have over 10 gigs of ram loaded. The ONLY thing I can attribute this to is when ram reaches a certain threshold. With all that said, if there is something I’ve missed as a Mac guy (I’ve played with every combo of asioguard and buffer settings) I’m all ears. I’ve been using Cubase and Nuendo since their inception and I’ve never encountered performance issues like these. Those of you with no problems I would love to know what’s different about your configs… (especially mac users) I jumped the gun and started too many projects in C8 and would have a really difficult time finishing them in C7.5. It’s not my favorite way to work, but it’s the only way I CAN work in C8. That’s why I’m putting up with the stuttering. IMO it must be software and embedded into C8 somewhere. I’ve combed through these threads since the beginning of December and I know everyone’s trying to tweak their systems, but this is a problem across the board I’m finding - both pc and mac. I’ve been using 8.05 since it’s release hoping the cpu issue would go away, or at the very least get better, but I’m using a MacbookPro Retina 2012 and most sessions, even the ones I start from scratch with new templates (not carrying over any 7.5 by accident) are mostly unusable by the time I get a FEW plugins going.

I will try to move the session to my local SSD drive but this was never a problem in 7.5. Running Windows 7 64x 12gb RAM, 12 core i8. Tried the new “Render In Place” for some plugin-heavy channels, but hasn’t made a difference. Worked fine in 7.5, just installed Cubase 8, tried turning off half the plugins but still stuttering.

If you press F12 you will see the same problem I’m having I think, maxed out disk, which makes no sense.
