Mac 4K/5K Performance Testing Request

[dRowAudio]

Hi all, we've been having a few reports recently of poor graphics performance on Mac HiDPI displays (basically 4 & 5K displays). I've spent a bit of time seeing if there is anything obvious that we can do but unfortunately without a display to test with, I'm having a hard time knowing if anything I'm trying will make a difference.

There is one change that I can make to the graphics pipeline that may trigger an improvement though. Would anybody with a 4 or 5K display that is seeing these issues be willing to test a beta build for me?
If so, reply to this thread and I'll PM you a Dropbox link with a copy of the app.
If you could let me know if there's any noticeable difference that would be great.

The 9.3.2 demo still is veery slow. Esp. the scrolling in the sequencer, the position scrolling, the zooming. If you resize the window, the refresh rate is like ~4 hz. Tested on nvidia 1050gt/core i7, 4K and 10.13.4. It is so slow it is not usable here, even this system is pretty fast on 4k normally.

Maybe time to get a cheap 4k monitor? Starts at ~250 EUR used already.

I've got one on order. Will take a closer look when it arrives.
Thanks for the feedback.

I missed this earlier, but I’d be happy to help any way I can on my 2017 iMac 5K.

I'm on a 2017 MacBook Pro with an external Dell 4K Monitor hooked up. Just let me know, if I can help in any way.

Thanks for the offer! We're just finalising some last touches to the current build and will release it as a public beta very soon.
