Hello Chris, Thanks for your response, it helped me figure out my card wasn't to blame....It's now running smoothly. Being new to Nuke, I found out the hard way that some nodes don't do exactly what I thought they did and nodes like Kronos and timeoffset combined with write nodes that are reading files back in are a tricky combo.
Anywho, I appreciate your response and just wanted to let you know it helped quite a bit!
