Hi,  
Having a station with two virtual controllers (RW 6.13.01) connected to a ‘S7-PLCsim Advanced V16’ through ‘Simit V10.2’. I’m using Robotstudio 2021.4.

The PC I’m using is a Dell laptop 7760 32GB with a Nvidia RTX A4000 discrete graphic card and I have enabled the discrete graphics card in the file “robotstudio.exe.config” (se pic).  
There are some jerky movement in the simulation when creating a copy of a graphic component with the function “Source” at the same time when the robots moves.  
The task manager never report more than 40% on either CPU, GPU or memory.

What can I do to improve the performance?  
There are some settings for graphics in robotstudio and there are also many settings in the Nvidia control panel, any suggestions?

I also have a problem that sometime only one of the controllers connects to the PLC when starting the station, a restart of the affected controller solves that problem.

I doubled RAM & it sped up my simulation speed significantly. I have 64 GB
