maya freeze with Vray

[czaps]

Hi

Have some strange problem , didn't seeit before too much.
Whenever I select object in my scene - maya holds and freeze for about 20 seconds.
When I select the objects from the outliner everything works fine , without freeze issue.
The same situation is when I hit spacebar to maximize my view for example.

Could it be rather maya related than Vray ?
I noticed that only when I'm using Vray as a render engine with Vray materials in the scene it happens.

Using latest Vray 2.0 night build on maya 2010 x64 bits, Vista

I doubt that selecting objects in the viewport has anything to do with vray. We had experienced this issue once where we had geforce cards, there was a environment variable you had to enter to maya.env - MAYA_NO_VERTEX_ARRAY_SELECT = 1
after this it resolved that issue.
I would suggest doing a clean install of just maya and seeing if this issue appears without vray or anything else.

Thank You Morbid Angel

That solution solved the problem for now. I'm wondering cause it refers to older Geforce cards according to link You provided.
I'm using Geforce Gtx 580 but it looks that is also affected with it.

glad it helped. Yes this issue used to happen in maya 7/8 and geforce 8x cards. I currently have geforce 480 and maya 2010/2011 is running fine. But over all maya does not like geforce. Its made to run with quadro, even the cheapest quadro will outperform geforce in maya, simply because maya is based around open gl. I hope this will change soon, but for now this could be the solution.
