All other setting < 3600MHz was creating the above issues. Then I went to my motherboards bios setting and changed my DDR4 RAM speed to 3600MHz and since then no laggy CPU and GPU performance issue (in the Ableton GUI, I could with a > 40 Tracks project not move any Plugins GUIS properly anymore). Using a MSI Ati RX570 improved the laggy performance a bit but not completely. I tried all of the advices here, but beside the one, not to use a weak Nvidia graphics card, nothing helped much. Just wanted to let you know, while I was struggeling since Ableton 11 with my power PC maschine and had a lot of lagging. When you build a new rig or overclock your CPU thats the first test you run. All pc’s should be able to work perfectly fine and without overheating at peak CPU frequency and usage. Nobody builds a rig with throttling in mind. If you’re on a laptop turning speedstep off can potentially overheat your CPU, especially if your laptop cooling system was designed with speedstep in mind.īut if you’re on dedicated PC system theres no risk in turning off speedstep because your cooling system should be able to cool your non-throttled CPU without a problem.

If you’re in same boat as me disabling this feature can save you huge amount of time and nerves!Įdit: i’ve completely neglected an idea that not everyone has a dedicated professional studio workstation. There’s a bios setting called CPU “Speedstep technology” - after disabling it my CPU load dropped by 70%!!!

I’ve been looking for a solution for days and finally found it, it was buried somewhere in the comments here on reddit.

For me it got so severe that i’ve been thinking about moving back to Live 10. As you all know Live 11 has huge cpu overload problem on PC.
