Ableton Live 9 High CPU Usage

Don't know how many of you use DAW's such as Ableton but I have noticed since moving to PC my CPU usage being rather high

Also it would seem that there is a hell of a lot of latency.

Here is just a screen grab of a simple little project with an instrument rack with a few bits in, which surely can't be using up that much of the CPU power.

I'm also wondering if the latency is down to the fact that i'm running off the on-board audio and when i get a sound card this will be somewhat alleviated?

This is in the prodigy build (see sig.) and is on a p8z77-i deluxe motherboard.

Cheers.
 
check your buffer and from what I've heard, the audio drivers on pc are inefficient so a soundcard might actually improve the situation.
 
Yeah i've tried reducing the buffer size to just about where i don't get anymore clicks or pops. but even then.

So yeah i'll have to look into an external one
