What GPU are you guys running with Aerodrums?

Post by samjhon » Tue Jun 09, 2026 9:20 pm

Hey everyone! So I've been using Aerodrums for a few months now and it's been awesome, but I notice sometimes the tracking gets a little laggy when I have other stuff running in the background. I'm thinking my graphics card might be the weak link here.

What GPU do you guys recommend for a smooth experience? I've been looking for the best graphic card for video editing and gaming without breaking the bank, and found a decent selection of graphic cards that look promising, but not sure which direction to go - mid - range or just go all in?

Any advice would be great, thanks!

Have you experimented with pressing ctrl+g from the drumming screen to cycle through the alternate graphics modes?

These graphics modes will perform better than the default mode so switching to one of them might prevent the lag you're seeing.

One of the modes even disables graphics completely so if that doesn't solve the problem then upgrading your graphics card won't help either. (Btw, in the no graphics mode, if you're running Aerodrums in a window, you can still see the frame rate in the window title bar to confirm that it's reaching 125 FPS.)
