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

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?

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
