Graphics cards
OK guys, I'm running ATI. Obviously that is not recommended by AVID. Here is my big question. I don't want to run an underpowered Quadro Card and I know not all of you do, and yet have PT set ups that run just fine. What cards do you use and/or recommend.
Thanks guys.

Re: Graphics cards
Do you have specific needs? My rig runs fine with a $37 MSI GeForce 7300LE card feeding a pair of 22" LCD's at 1650x1080. Pro Tools has fairly light graphics requirements(why I ask if YOU have some special needs in this department). ATI was king of the hill for quite a while and if your system is running fine, I see no reason to make a change.

Re: Graphics cards
Of my 5 hard drives I have 1 boot for gaming, 1 for sonar, 1 for protools, one for internet, and one for "other". The ATI card was primarily for my gaming drive. I do not have an integrated card on this build.

Re: Graphics cards
So if you have no troubles, I would not change anything.

Re: Graphics cards
Read my post on "Annoying Save Error". It has been suggested that my Gcard is to blame. Also me only having 4GB of RAM.
