Question / Help What does "Use Buffering" on Blackmagic Device settings actually do? (also audio desync)

Hey guys,

i have recently bought a Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K. Runs good so far with the latest drivers. I just wanted to do some research to optimize my setup.

I only ran into the problem that when "Use Buffering" is turned on and i drop frames (for an unknown reason so far), the audio desyncs, which can be fixed by reinitializing the source by just change the mode in the settings. If i turn of "Use Buffering", this wont happen, but my PC will bluescreen. So what does it actually do? Is the desync more of a CPU problem than the capture card's?

I'd appreciate the help, if a log is needed, let me know.
