Popper scroll lag

[Genesis38]

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced some lag while scrolling through the game wheels on Popper? For some reason, mine seem to lag a bit which is really annoying. Even PinballX scrolls through the games fast compared to Popper and can’t figure out why this would be.

Any suggestions fellows?

Thanks in advance.

1>  is it always?  it will be really laggy the first time it creates the wheel cache.  so if you ever reset thumbs it will be slow until all the wheel cache is done.

2> are you running the wrong wheelbar resolution.  don’t use a 4k wheelbar on a 1080p screen for example as thats just wasting cpu resizing…

Thank you Nailbuster. It seems to run lazy most of the time, even after I reset the wheels thumb and I am using a 4K wheelbar on my 4K setup, but I will give it another look tonight when I get home.

Same here. Just upgraded my setup to a 4K playfield and a GTX 1070 and modified my popper frontend to terrys 4K wheelbar.

The wheelbar is lagging like yours. Btw. the 1080p wheelbar was lagging too. All other things are running perfect (VPX etc.)

I´ve took a look into taskmanager; while scrolling the wheelbar the cpu (3 ghz intel quadcore q6600, 10 years old ) wents to 80-90% while scrolling.

I think it depends on my old cpu

Correct….Popper uses mostly CPU and barely any GPU….so a Q6600 may struggle. I had an i5 2500K and it struggled a little in 4K.
