Scene animation has always been choppy?

Idk if this is just me of if everyone experiences this...
Since my last several PCs (basicaly everything after Windows Vista) I can't remember ever having Scene view play in realtime to the frame or playback an animation any faster than probably about 6-10fps.

Is this an issue with my hardware? @Steve anything I can do to optimize playback for easier animation in Scene mode? Trying to animate a character but it's always been tough judging 'weight' and all those animation-principle things when not able to see everything happening as it will render  :'(

How complex are your scenes? How large are your models, how many, do they use morph targets or are rigged with deforming figures? Also, what CPU do you have?

The character I'm working on is a subdivide, but only 556 points altogether. I get (of course) better framerates when displaying him with fewer divisions and particularly when the Track view is collapsed (which I never realized.... seems like the track fully re-renders of something every time the marker moves a frame?)

Also I guess with that I found out it IS playing in realtime, but dropping most of the frames to gie a total of those 6 - 10fps (with the track opened up and a high-ish poly model with low divisions)

He DOES have 10 morph targets for facial expressions and I like to try to zero them ALL out any time I'm changing multiple aspects of the expression, so plenty of key frames :S


My CPU is an AMD FX-8300. Does Anim8or lean toward Intel? Or possibly newer-gen CPU types?

Oh meant to say, this is pretty simple - one instance (object?) made up of 5 smaller objects within the scene

 I had the same issue some time ago, and a good nVidia graphics card did the trick.
 Have got a slightly better PC now, and first thing i did was put a decent graphics card in.
 Not playing in realtime, 24 - 30fps, but quick enough to watch.(simple scenes)
   Gotta do a quick render to watch at full speed

No specs on hand, but i have read that  intel are a better cpu

 I'm not really up on all that, but did enjoy updating my 'older' pc to a slightly better one.

 just a thought. 

 Another thought. Anim8or is easy portable, maybe you could copy your project to a usb stick and try on another pc with different specs
