it is almost certainly due to a massive request of CPU resources when switching the graphics.
The SFP surface does NOT run on the graphics copro alone, it needs assistance of the CPU for redrwaing previously hidden windows.

There are differences though, as some graphcards are reported to be significantly faster than others. Sorry for my lack of knowledge wich ones.

I'm not shure, but it could help to have both applications on their own screen.
Two 15" TFTs should be better than one large monitor but still be affordable.

my 2 cents, Tom

Try this instead:

Devices>Device Setup

go into the "VST Multitrack" section

if "Audio priority" is 'normal' set it to 'high'.

This has the same effect as setting 'High priority' by right clicking the process in Task Manger.
