Slow editor

I’m using:
quadro fx 1700
directx 11
12 gigs of ram
windows 7 64bit

And the editor is really slow. Particularly when using the patch based editing, connecting nodes, navigating the content browser, navigating in the viewport (11 fps).

I turned off the realtime previews to speed things up a bit, and the editor is still SILLY slow.

Any tips? Is my hardware too old and slow?

Hey Patrick,

I just want to clarify, you are running 2 of the Intel(R) Xeon(r) E5504’s? If not that would be the issue, you would be just below minimum specifications for the Editor.

Hey Patrick,

What kind of processor are you running?

Best Regards,

Ryan

It is an Intel(R) Xeon(r) E5504 (2 quad cores)

Update: I turned off several post effects that come with the default level and this brings the editor up to speed. Things are feeling like normal now. Blueprint is speedy and nice- are there plans to integrate this UI into the other node editing interfaces (namely the material editor)?
