KXdrivers.. decrease performance of computer

kmuland · Feb 3, 2010, 08:19 PM

tested in different OSs (XP/2003) and sblive.. first with default windows drivers and then with KXdrivers (also various versions...

Doing tests with benchmark software ( superpi, 3dmark, passmark..) and with all all then I get lower scores when using KX....

If anyone havent checked.. run a benchmark with KX and without it.. and compare

Solutions?

My only one is unnistall until this bug bein fixed... (I use Kxdrivers cause ASIO but with asio4all I get it and dont decease the performance)

Why are you expecting there to be no performance hit ? Do you think Kx can do all it does - and do it better than the alternatives - without using any computing power at all ? You can't call it a 'bug' if an excellent (and free) program uses a few CPU cycles !

hey .. dont kill me

Im Kxuser since first versions... and Ill continue

Im only posting cause I have "always" installed KX in all my computers and I didnt notice the extra cpu usage until last week... that I used default windows drivers and I was doing superpi benchmarks

I always though that processing was done by the sblive/audigy processors.. and not the cpu.

Probably a solution for me will be stop the windows audio service.. cause the perfomance decreases also when Im not using any audio app
