Power Color HD 4870 Graphics cards.

[ni-cad]

I just installed two Power Color HD 4870 512mb Graphics cards, Resolume3 won't run on them, it bombs as soon as I try to open a project or pretty much touch anything on the UI.

Please Please can you give me some advice as to what I can do about this?

Here's the card http://www.powercolor.com/eng/products_ ... uctID=4362

Hi Air.

no it just freezes as if it's perpetually loading.

I'm really worried about my PC, it was custom built 4 months ago costing £1400, after a month of installing software, tweaking the OS, transferring a very large video/sample library and configuring all my hardware, it broke down, just got it back from the pc shop last week after spending another £800 for an extra monitor two more graphics cards 8 gig of ram a new power supply and new 64 bit OS AND ITS BROKEN DOWN AGAIN!!

So, I was just about to wipe the whole thing and re-install the OS and all the drivers when I decided to give Resolume a whirl to test for this midi jitter problem, installed Res3 it bombs, re installed Res3 Still bombs.

It could be a driver problem but all my other software seems to run OK, when I remembered Res3 is picky about which Graphics Cards it will run with.

Any ideas?

Avenue will tell you if the graphics card is not up too running it, cant remember what it says but it gives a message of some kind.

Ahh ok, that sounds hopeful, it probably is a hardware fault or a driver that's playing up, also I couldn't find any records on the forum relating to this Graphics card causing problems with Res3.

Well I'll get the machine fixed again, do a re-set and see what happens after that, fingers crossed.

Thanks Air.

EDD: Found it, the correct driver wasn't installed by the computer store guy. . . meh
