Lag During a 3D Print

[aedan929]

Hi, ever since I got my new DaVinci Color every time I 3D print an object my games will have the worst lag spikes, or just flat out lag. It doesnt matter how intense the game is, it even lags on 240p youtube video. This has begun to bother me a lot. Is there any fix to this? I checked my task manager and no hardware usage goes above 50% while in game and 3D printing. I checked my gpu (gtx1070fex2), ram(vengeance 16gb), and cpu (ryzen 1700). This is really strange to be and always confusing! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -Aedan

I know that sometimes drive activity will lag my computer, but maybe that's just because I'm a pleb and have HDD's. try using an SSD with a fresh install of windows, then try printing while watching a video or playing games.

Thanks for the advice! I'm a bit late to reply, but I will try that. I have a m.2 ssd so hopefully that's not the issue, but worth a try. One thing I noticed is that when I use my CAD software which I also use for printing is that when moving an object the GPU usage goes up. But when the object is stationary no usage at all, so it's probably not that. Another thing about my system is that the O.S. is old and has gone through various modification done by me, but have since been removed. I tell this to everyone but it would be a pain to start from scratch with Windows because I have a lot of programs on my computer and I can't even remember half of what I have! Maybe it's time though.

Upgrading to Windows 10 and an SSD should be more than enough to fix the issue.
