I'm just getting started using Resolve...
... I'll list my specs below, but I really can't imagine it's a hardware issue, I've got fairly high-end stuff in my system, plus playback works flawlessly in the edit tab, any ideas as to how I could fix the video playback in fairlight?
windows 10
AMD R7 1700
GTX 1080Ti
16 gigs corsair ram
1TB western digital HDD
120gb ssd
resolve 14.3.0.014

Nice machine, there, Jake!
At the risk of reminding you of things you intellectually already know, just a reminder checklist of a sort for you, just in case your gutsy PC is at fault, being not fully optimized:
• 'Gone into Task Manager and clicked "DISABLE" on any of your undesirably-running programs and apps on the StartUp tab?
• Have you assigned your media to be housed on a genuinely capable drive? (Try testing with BMD's SpeedTest (or whatever it's called), to verify.
• (Of course you've avoided use of your OS i.e., "System" drive, for also storing and playing media during Resolve sessions, I trust).
• Has your machine been ion the Internet and not been "cleaned"?
• Are any drives in need of "Optimizing" defragmenting if disks and trimming of SSDs?
• Have you ensured you have no anti-virus or similar programs tasking in the background? If not, disable them.
• #OohWait! FmFid I mention that you might consider the bottleneck is caused by a pesky audio plug-in installed and running in Resolve?
That's what I'd do for starters, barring the possibility you have some audio Plug-ins in the Fairlight pipeline, that's where I'd start to flesh out your staggering video performance in Fairlight page of Resolve.
By the way...
• Have you google searched:
"How to optimize your computer for editing with an NLE (or with Davinci Resolve)"? I personally have not, but now I believe I *should.*
