Giving DAW´s more power
« on: June 27, 2016, 02:53:37 pm »
Hey guys,

i have a, well a little bit weird, problem:

Since some month´s i use this medion laptop for producing (DAW: FL Studio main and Ableton sometimes):
Medion Erazer X7613 http://www.notebooksbilliger.de/medion+erazer+x7613+md99123+notebook
and i love it. It is super powerful (a little bit big tho, but i like it anyway).

The thing is: This is normally a gaming laptop. Now i do not play games (that´s why i did not recognize it till now), but i downloaded a game and played a bit:
The whole computer starts to get more powerful. Everything (if you tab out) works faster (the pc is already fast af) and the second cooler starts working (yes this notebook has 2 coolers ^^).

Now what i want to know: Does anyone know how i can make my pc recognize my DAW´s as a game? So i can use the whole power of it? Because if i open up a lot of Plugins (30+) in a project and add a lot of effects, it starts clipping in parts with many automation clips.

Thank you a lot in advance :)

Sincerely

PS: I already tried taskmanager -> details -> priority -> realtime but it did not work :(

No, games and DAWs use different parts of the PC for hardware acceleration. Games are graphics-intensive programs, so the graphics card usually has the biggest impact on their performance. DAWs don't benefit much (if at all) from graphics acceleration.
