Ableton and Resolume GPU Budget option?

[Beatmachinery]

Hello! I´m planning to run and perform with Ableton and Resolume at the same time. Right now , I have already started experimenting with both but I´m starting to struggle and experiencing latency , clicks and pops cause I dont have a GPU yet.

So my question is... Which type of GPU should I get if dont really want to do something with many video outputs and also , I dont want to use 2k , 4k or anything like that... I just want everything to run smoothly and without added latency or cracks. I will not use many outputs also...

My PC specs are : Core i7 8700k , AORUS Gigabyte gaming 5 and 16 gb of RAM.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The cracks come most likely from a mismatch in Audio settings in Resolume vs Ableton.
Make sure you set the same sample rate in both programs, and set the same buffer size too, if you use the same audio device in both programs.
If the cracks start to appear on higher system loads, then try setting the buffer size to something larger.

But what about the image cracks? Also... When I use both , ableton seems to add latency to my performance. What about a GTX 1050 Ti? Would that be enough?

A GTX 1050 Ti would be quite good.

Choosing the right file format for Resolume should also help. We recommend using DXV mov files with uncompressed audio for best performance.
If you are not using many layers, effects and 4k resolution, then the integrated Intel GPU could be also enough to run Resolume with DXV.
