hi, i had simular issue and fixed last days by changing nvidia setting of VERTICAL SYNC. the setting was set, that the application should decide BUT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. I cant remember in the moment if i set to on or off, so please try the values and you and iclone have fun again :-)

Have you tried the 2nd suggestion? Just try to reformat if you have extra ssd and try not to upgrade, Just install the 7.8 using Hub

I'm using licensed iClone 7.72 , but i'll update it from the Reallusion Hub
and my m2 NVME SSD is still new only used for month
is there a big difference in performance between 7.72 and 7.8 ?

First: Are you using the licensed version of iClone 7.8? 
Second: If you have an extra m.2 SSD you may try to reformat then install just iClone 7.8 using the reallusion hub. It worked for me. 

Hello Peter , Unfortunately , none of the things you suggested helps iClone be faster , it's still slow as it is , while other software like Unreal Engine 4 and Unity are so much faster

Hi Peter,

I tried the solution you mentioned with the nVidia Control panel, but I can't seem to find the MSI DEforce 2080ti and the "application controlled " default. The speed remains the same.

It seems to me that the more plugins you add to iClone and Character creator, the slower they get. For example, it takes me 5 minutes to load a scene in iClone now after the latest update (I also bought the Skin Gen Premium plugin). On top of that, I have to wait a little too long for practically every move I make in those programs. It seems iClone, in spite of all its priceless features, is getting seriously bloated.

And I don't have a slow computer. I have an 24 cores AMD Threadripper with an nVidia Titan RTX with 24 GB of VRAM.

Hi Stephen

Your screenshot shows that iClone is using the Global Setting. However, if you have customised the Global Setting then that will naturally affect iClone also. Try going to the Global tab as shown below and ensure your Global Setting is set to default (it will look similar to the screenshot below). If in doubt you can click the "Restore" button and this will set your Global Settings back to default.

Hey Peter!

I'm having a similar issue. Iclone runs great most of the time, but if I add a lot of special effects to the scene, it crashes more than I would like. I went into the Nvidia Control Panel like you said (I just downloaded the most recent driver), and wasn't sure if these settings were correct or if I'm using my graphics card correctly.

Thanks for your time,
Stephen
