On Windows running MMX node makes system unresponsive for some milliseconds of time.

[chilio]

Every few seconds system reaches unstable point, where everything gets frozen for some short milliseconds of time.
It wouldn't be of a big deal, but the system is not responsive enough to catch all letters typed (sometimes letters are wiped out).
So I believe it might be a huge problem for people running MMX node on their own systems for daily work...

Tested on:
i9-10900x, 96 GB RAM DDR4 3200 MHz
GPU: GTX 980 Ti 6 GB RAM
System drive: Samsung 980 PRO
All plots on hdds
TimeLord disabled

MMX node v0.9.8

That's an issue with the GPU drivers... solution would be to use another GPU for display.

@madMAx43v3r I'm not sure if I understand this correctly.
Should I expect this to work without any problems with a new/coming nvidia driver updates? (BTW v528.02 used -> almost newest).
Or is this behavior expected while using this old GPU?
And to solve this problem I should add another GPU to the system?

Yes

Actually the problem is still there.
System is upgraded with i9-13900k, proper devices selected in settings, meaning added gfx pcie card for display, and cpu gfx for mmx...
And system still freezes for some time....

So in other words, I can run MMX node on remote dedicated nodes, but unfortunately not on my desktop daily usage system....

What if you select the discrete GPU?

[chilio]

I've switched to the dedicated GPU and VDF time is better, but system still lags.
Now I've switched back to GPU on CPU and for now it works (30 mins testing) => I don't observe any lags.
Really strange, maybe there was something wrong with the drivers.

After almost 24 hours of testing I can confirm everything is working seamless.
