Side note:

Nice build! Putting together something for my son right now. I went intel. Just waiting for the processor to become available and i'll get it completed.

Thanks for the advice, BurrMan. Appreciate it.

It happens in an empty file, and whenever I load a file up as well.

I'm not sure I'd want to change the perspective, it would just negatively impact my design work in all honesty. Though it's worth a test to see if it makes any difference in the viewport problem.

Appreciate the compliments about the rig as well. Good luck with your son's! hopefully it all turns out well!

Hey Locus,
Just so you know, the "View Angle" I was referring to, I meant the "Mesh Angle", which is under the view options. This regards the viewport and how finely the system dices up the surfaces you see. (With a larger model, this can start to bog down the system)

Anyway, since it happens for you on an empty file, this is of no help for you....

""""""""""""This didn't start becoming an issue until I updated both Windows and my Graphics driver in the middle of January."""""""""""""

Maybe try moving to the February update. I'm on "18362.657"

When I get my sons system built, i'll be on a 2080 ti, so may be able to play more then....
