Graphics Card Question
JimH:
Well done finding the cause. I added your post to the anti-virus problem thread here:

If it's working, there's no clear advantage to upgrading the video card. I'd spend the money on speakers.

This is the answer. A 3070ti is almost certainly overkill for your needs. You could pump up MadVR settings a bit (it's not clear if that's what you use for your 4K movie playback) but it's a marginal improvement beyond what the 1070 with rational settings is capable of.

Thanks to all of you for the help.
The recent upgrade of the Anti-Virus software never crossed my mind and I didn't usually look at my camera system on one monitor while playing music on the other.
I didn't realize they had changed it where it was monitoring every process, program, and internet traffic in real-time.
After learning that I realized with all the data it was trying to watch it was probably like trying to shove an elephant through a funnel.
Once I exempted JRiver and my camera software the problem stopped.
As I said, I don't know much about this.
I thought the Spectrum Analyzer with all the bouncing boxes was placing a strain on the Graphics card rendering since the Spectrum Analyzer Full Screen is a pretty busy visual with all the different boxes acting independently.
I just thought I might have finally exceeded the GTX-1070's ability.
I appreciate all your help and saving me a lot of money in the process.
Like I said, I didn't mind spending the money if it would help but if it is pointless why waste the money?
Thanks again to all of you.
I really appreciate.
This is just one of the many reasons I always buy upgrades even though I don't need them.
JRiver are good people and I am happy to support them any way I can.

If you want to start wasting money, drop your audio system and I'd be glad to tell you where to spend that 3070ti cash :P

To the OP, Glad that you got your anti-virus issues sorted but Windows 7 is no longer supported by MS and so most other companies won't support any of their software running on that operating system. While I appreciate that there may be reasons that you want to stay on Windows 7, any external connectivity like internet or emails is a huge risk/source of liability particularly if you have confidential information stored on it or accessed from it.
I say this as a long time employee of a company that has to temporarily keep some crucial PCs running Windows 7 with no support/protection for the next few months due to proprietary software that will be replaced soon to permit an operating system upgrade to Windows 10. We've had to severely limit all external traffic on these pcs trying to avoid attacks/compromise so if at all possible I'd suggest limiting your Win 7 pc's external traffic as much as possible.
