I've read about it, but not seen it myself. It happened with a certain driver release for Intel integrated graphics. And, as you can guess, many users reporting a similar error had obtained their plug-ins through questionable channels.

In our production/writer room we run 2 X 27" samsung screens from the MBPr

One from the thunderbolt port and one from the HDMI port and we use the retina screen from the MBP for plugins and Console 1 and never had any issues with waves or any other plugin developer. Is this still an issue for some people here or has it gone away with updates and upgrades? Our OSX 10.8.5 and PTHD 11.2.1 = 0 problems with Waves with the 3 screens used, dragged out the desktop and worked right away.

Or is this a Tower / Desktop computer issue and not a MBP issue?

Thanks for any imput here

So you have 3 screens running simultaneously, no problems?

Yes. No problems what so ever. Two screens from the MBPR and the 15" screen and no issues at all. Just dragged out the desktop and when I plugged in the two external screens they worked "plug'n play" right off the bat.

Yes there is a slight display difference that needed to be corrected as the DVI to thunderbolt is better than the HDMI so a little color corrcting but that was it.

This is good to know. Proof of concept that Waves can in fact run on >2 monitors.

Christopher, if it's not too much trouble, could you try running two screens mirrored, with the third being unique? For example, MBPr and HDMI show the same screen, and thunderbolt shows a different one.

Hey

Tried and it works

I tried all different configurations and no problems at all.

Hope that helps

While there is a known issue with multiple graphics cards in some configurations, I have not seen issues with a single card in any configuration. Those who run typical setups are not likely to see problems.
