Can't launch Arena 5 - Quadro 4000

Post by blackgotan »

Hi, just want to launch Arena 5 on a Windows 7 workstation (Dual Xeon E5-V2, 24Gb Ram, 2x Nvidia Quadro 4000 GPU) but can't go ahead as Arena says that my graphic card isn't enough powerful...
Specifications sheet says minimal graphic card is a Geforce 210... Quadro 4000 isn't less powerful
Should i use others GPU to run it ? Or is there an issue ?
Can you help me, please.

Quadro 4000 should be OK.

Do you have the most recent drivers for your cards?

Yes, all drivers are up to date. I can launch it with one Quadro 4000 installed but impossible with two Quadro 4000...

It sounds like Resolume is getting confused by the second Quadro. In theory this shouldn't be a problem, as you found out, the real world will always throw you for a loop.

Resolume only renders on the card that has the main display and GUI on it. So you don't need the second Quadro for rendering.

If you wanted to use the second Quadro for more outputs, it's better to use a single card with the amount of outputs that you need. This is always, always, always the best solution. If that is really not an option for you, the budget solution is to stick a lower range card in there for the extra outs. Copying over the texture to the second card will always take a performance hit though.
