I already posted this at CGTalk but unfortunately didnt find a solution:
even in an empty scene my framerate in the quad viewport is about 7, 8 but in single view its 30-40..
I'm a little unsure if it was low like that before and I just realized now or sth. has changed.
(Guess it has not been so slow as its really annoying)
Using latest NVidia drivers and a 3DConnexion Navigator with 3DS Max 2013.
Any idea why?
I had the same issue, I guess it's a lag from the 3dconnexion drivers, just press "D" on each other viewports ( this will deactivate update on viewports ), not a solution, but it can help.
My explanation would be that the 3d Connexion drivers cause a massive increase of viewport redraw calls, which of course slows the whole viewport down a lot.
I bet you will see a slowdown with those drivers even in single maximized viewport, but not such a large amount..
Would be interesting to see what happens when you disable your 3d connexion drivers completely. You might experience a whole new world of fast viewport 😉
Thanks for these suggestions and sorry for replying late!
Disabling the viewport didn't change anything and yes, I cannot leave my 3D mouse, no way 🙂
I tried it at some other computer with a similar setup, even a lower quality graphics card- smooth like baby butts even in high poly scenes.
Actually this is where a 3D mouse shines, it handles packed scenes better and smoother than the normal navigation..
So I have to find the error somewhere else...
Had a neighbor watching my pet when I was on holiday- who without permisson started my pc (what a **, cant tell how much I hate people on my office machine..!) installed a game (!) and changed some NVidia settings (lower monitor frequency and whatever else) because "it did crash all the time" (can you imagine how much this s**ks?? Some people are just crazy..) and I am quite sure it has sth to do with it. Never change a running system. Hard to change back things if you dont know any history of changes..!
So im lost with anger and errors 🙂
Learned my lesson and set up a master password.

Well.. maybe you pressed spacebar and locked the selection. Look for the little lock symbol in the lower toolbar if its activated.
Ah now, I have been using the software for years.
There a number of glitches in the Max 2014.
Found another one today the draw polyline too, won't let you draw a point and insists on closing the polygone for you .
Sever pain in the A**.
Fed up with the so called upgrade.
