Pro-Tools and Nvidia??
I recently updated my graphics card on my PC and was advised Nvidia was the best option. Since the change, ProTools is now a nightmare to use, i.e, initializing stalling, to plug-ins either not working and/or missing completely to protools crashing full stop. Is this caused by the graphics card and if so, is there a 'patch' I can download to remedy this problem? Many thx

Re: Pro-Tools and Nvidia??
Yeah, what other DAW won't play nice with a simple graphics card change? Are we back to Windows 98 or something?

Re: Pro-Tools and Nvidia??
2 odd things here. First, who told you that nVidia was the best route? Almost everyone here finds the ATI cards to be the most problem-free(the other odd thing being that my rig actually DOES work better with my nVidia card). Go figure

Re: Pro-Tools and Nvidia??
I have an NVidia card with no problems (just don't install the utilities!).
But, it also depends on the NVidia drivers. The later ones seem to be more unstable.

Re: Pro-Tools and Nvidia??
How can you tell if it's your graphics card causing issues with Pro Tools?

Re: Pro-Tools and Nvidia??
IRQ conflicts or using to much memory that's it's slowing down everything else etc... but mostly IRQ stuff (atleast in desktops, not sure about laptop)
