Waves 8 / 9 dual monitor - what a mess!

Are you still on ATI, Raoul? AFAIK there are NO cards that work with more than one video card EXCEPT GeForce.

I must admit, I didn't really appreciate how cheap fanless GeForce cards were - here in the UK it was £30 each. Compared to the costs of the plugins, pretty cheap. If there are no other restrictive factors and you've heavily invested in Waves, I'd definitely recommend switching cards. It's hugely irritating that Waves alone can't be bothered to fix their stuff, but sheer pragmatism won out for me in the end.

I run 3 ATI 5450 video cards with Waves. As long as I stretch across the 3 monitors it works. Mirroring monitors is where Waves fails for me.

Do you have success with mirroring monitors with your G-Force cards?

Hi Tom - I've never tried to be honest! I only ever run in stretch mode. If its easy to switch on a test (should be) I'll have a quick play at the weekend.

Much appreciated.

Hi Tom - so I put 2 of the 4 displays into clone mode, so that my two monitors I usually stretch PT across were displaying exactly the same thing at the same time. The good news is that all the Waves plugs I tried displayed completely normally.

Hope that helps - cheers.

Thanks,

A little question... Did you clone the two monitors on the same video card or two separate cards?

Sorry Tom I didn't reply to this, did I? It looks like from my graphics card software I can only clone 2 monitors on the same card, so I can't easily test that setup.

Thanks.
