Hello. I want to get started with jitter in Max for Live so I followed a tutorial on a simple audio-reactive patch using .jxs shaders on a png. As you can see from my very organized patch I'm only using 3 shaders.

I have a humble laptop with AMD Radeon 780M and as soon as I try to read the image (4000x4000 px) my GPU use rockets to >90% and Live becomes unresponsive. My CPU doesn't crash so I think it's only using GPU? I know I have a crappy card but I didn't think it was thiiis bad. I also know my image is quite big but is that all?

Do you guys have any tips on improving this situation on my laptop, or am I cooked? I figure if I can't load this picture onto jitter I should forget about making more advanced stuff lol :( Let me know!
