improve playback performance

Any way to improve playback performance in avid? Any console tweak.. services to disable idk... 
I'm mostly working with prosumers cams (dslrs) and i never EVER get to see a clear playback without INTENSE jitter (note here, intense was written in capital, theres no way i can see more than 1 or 2 sec of playback) 

Ive got the right gear. i think... win8.1 on a ssd drive, media sitting on 100mps drives, i7, gtx650ti, 16gb ram...  

 

ive been using avid since v4 now. i know everything about offlining and ama. 
Today i just shot 4 clip on a GH4, 4 clips of 10 sec to try VLOG. Ama'ed the clips, threw that on a timeline, no playback... those clips plays mighty fine on VLC. hell i was so pissed i even downloaded premiere trial and it handled them like butter... 

Ive became so used to transcode everything over the years that i forgot how bad AMA actualy is. I just realised, typing this, that most of the time i edit with my video track disabled so i can hear the pacing of the timeline just with the video and go ''ah the still pictures look fine, the audio sounds great, its gonna be alright'' then re-disable video tracks.

its true thats what ive been doin for about 2 years now! 
Id so like to stay within the Avid, i just like its media management, i love being able to create proxies on virtual drives (google drive) so i can edit from my laptop, home computer or work computer without even bothering about actualy moving media files... but im starting to realise that a change is becoming inevitable. 

so please, has anyone out there struggled to get playback working properly on regular end PCs with prosumer footage without having to revert to transcoding everything? 

please someone stop me from going to the dark side... toward adobe's product line =/
