Hi there,

I had been using Plexamp on my Windows 10 PC to play music from a library hosted on my network. I started to notice frame drops when playing games on my PC - I determined that it was being caused by Plexamp. While it was running it would hit my GPU (nvidia 970), causing a significant dip in performance every ~5 seconds, which would have a visual impact on whatever game I was playing.

Has this been seen before? Interested in helping dig into this if that helps at all. I love the app and would be very happy to help it work more smoothly.

Cheers,  
D

Are you using any visualizers? If so, which one?

Hi Elan,

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I have been using ‘Galaxy’. The issues were occurring whether I was listening to music or not.

I’ll try other visualizers and see if the problem persists.

Thanks,

D
