3DxVirtualLCD using >90% CPU

Post by sumguy »

Using MODO 801 SP2 and Space Navigator, the process "3DxVirtualLCD" uses over 90% CPU.

What is the purpose of it? I can't find any information about it anywhere, except that it's something to do with Space Mouse Pro.

If I kill the process, everything seems to work ok. Assuming it's not needed, how can I disable it permanently?

Hi sumguy,

yes, this is a feature for the SpaceMouse Pro. Of course it should not take 90% of your CPU. It usually doesn't do that.

As you are using a SpaceNavigator you can just delete the 3DxVirtualLCD.exe from the installation folder of 3DxWare. The path is C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxWinCore64.
