Video Cards

[Morningstar]

OK. PTLE and Gigasampler/Reason users:
What video cards are you using? I have a cheapie TNT2 Nvidia 4xAGP w/ only 16 Mb. When switching the view (one monitor only) from Reason (or GS) back to pro tools I have an ugly redraw. With 64Mb Radeon and GeForce cards going for under $100 I could pick one up. The question being, do they solve this? Also when the tracks and edits pile up my redraw is pretty bad...

no, a super-duper video card will not cure those problems - only a faster cpu. i have a radeon 32mb ddr card (fairly powerful 3d graphics acceleration) and it does the same thing. i use reaktor and b4 and get the same symptoms on a heavy duty mix. in fact, on super heavy duty mixes, i get that slow redraw without running other programs....

It's funny how bad that annoys me, man am I getting spoiled. Faster processor it is then. DB, what is your cpu? Mine's an old 667 PIII on a Cusl2-c, overclocked a little up to 715. I wonder if a 1 ghz will help..(that's all my board will take)
