New PC, slower DAZ.

I've got a very annoying problem and hoped someone could help me out.

I bought a new PC with higher specs in order to reduce render time.
Actual Rendering did become faster but my DAZ interface became really slow. With three figures in a scene it lags so much that I can't properly work with it. Never had this problem on my old PC. Any advices?
(I paid 1700$ for my new pc and realizing Daz is much slower than on my old one is really frustrating...)
Could the reason be that my DAZ Studio is installed on the SSD and the Content Library on the normal HDD?

Specs:
Old PC:
Intel Duo-Core I7 - 2600 @ 3,40GHz
8Gb RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7970
1TB HDD

New PC:
Intel Quad-Core I7 - 4790 @ 4GHz
16Gb RAM
GeForce GTX 970
250GB SSD
2TB HD

    Check that the settings match under Edit>Preferences>Interface.

    Thank's for the response.
    The Settings were the same on both pc's.
    I've now changed the Display Optimization to "Best" and it's perfectly fine now.
    Nonetheless it would be interesting to know why my old PC is faster when the optimization is set to "none".

    Hm, that is strange.

    I had the same experience, got a new laptop to replace the desktop and the laptop buries it in stats -- 3x as much RAM, 2 generation faster processor, 6x more VRAM, and like you the laptop seemed... if not slower, certainly no better. Then I realized I had the desktop st to Best and the laptop to the defaults. When I changed them to be the same, the laptop performed much better.

    So I am surprised that you did not have a similar situation. It is odd that your older machine would do better.

    One other factor...you switched from AMD to Nvidia for the video card. It could be as simple as that.

    There really are differences between how they do things so it could just come down to the AMD card worked better at drawing the viewport, without optimization.

    I had a similar case when I bought my actual Lenovo W520, slower than hell, the reason was my graphic setting, using intelHD graphics instead Quadro 2000M, fix the choice and voila...

    Oh yeah that will hurt ya, using integrated graphics.

    My laptop comes with a button... push it and you turn on or off the nVidia GPU. I just leave mine on all the time. :)

    Back in the day...Intel graphics meant something...not sure what, but something...now it means 'too dang cheap for a real graphics card'...

    Great!, I have the same function but managing cards from the Bios, set all on "Only Discrete Graphics" option.

    Nope, I have the same configuration, my SSD is 512Gb, my whole content surpases +350Gb, only I have the main content on SSD and the optional runtimes on the second HDD.
