mark, how is your performance with the 10.8.5 / 8.3.1 combo? what graphics card are you running with it? i saw that some folks were trying that combo, thought it needed Mavericks and higher to work. i tried your trick of switching to software and back to the DX and that seemed to magically make things nice again. i NEVER would have gone there without your tip mark, so a beer awaits you at some point in the future…
bogdan, here are two screenshots via BMDST:
Avid VideoRAID ST:
and the FibreJet:
seemed about right to me.
thanks guys!

Try one simple thing. Open project, then with the button on the timeline (next to the audio meters), turn OFF the Nitris DX hardware. Wait a few seconds and then turn it back on. Check performance.This is a solution I've come up with for some of the same symptoms with our fleet of Mac Pro / Nitris DX systems (now running 10.8.5 / 8.3.1) when the performance dives. I can see a hardware issue if I have a WFM hooked up, as the audio outputs randomly spike periodically with doing nothing. Turning the hardware off and on seems to re-hook the hardware and then performance comes back to normal.On Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 3:54 PM, Bruce Tovsky bruce@skeletonhome.com [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:hi all
this one is stumping me: over the weekend my avid system (Nitris DX running 7.0.4.3 on OS X 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro 3,1 early 2008 with 32GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, 500GB SSD boot drive) decided to act up in a new and interesting way. with a very undemanding project (:30 sec spot, 1080i, minimal layers) i'm getting stuttering, even just playing audio with video turned off, and at any timeline resolution setting. red marks are appearing at the top of the timeline. testing with another project has the same result. i had recently installed the 7.0.4.4 patch, so i uninstalled that and went back to 7.0.4.3 to no avail. repaired permissions, zapped the PRAM, etc. my media resides on an Avid VideoRAID SR connected via SAS and a Roarke RAID connected via fibre with FibreJet. this system has been running relatively trouble-free for several years (with minor bumps along the way) and yes, it is due for an overhaul once i make the myriad decisions on the transition to the trash can. i've run out of ideas, and before i make my service call i thought i'd see if there is something simple i've missed.cheersbbruce tovsky"Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane."Philip K.
