I'm trying to track down the source of some intermittent static in Saw Studio and SAC. After trying various settings in options. I thought perhaps my graphics configuration might be the cause. I recently went back to using two monitors so I can keep plugins on the second monitor.
I’m using a 40” 4K TV at 3840 X 2160 / 60 Hz scaled at 150% for the primary monitor and a 32” TV at 1920 X 1080 for the second monitor. I noticed the noise after installing the second graphics card. Both cards are nVidia cards. In the past Bob has recomended using Radeon cards so I purchased two Gigabyte RX 550 cards to hopefully fix the issue. (One card has to be able to run at 3820 X 2160 / 60 Hz)
I went with two cards since the monitors operate atdifferent resolutions. I wasn’t sure a single card that supports multiple monitors would support monitors with different resolutions. I could be mistaken. I normally don’t have a lot of issues installing hardware but I am unable to get these two cards to work after multilpe installs of the latest driver.
Device Manager shows both cards operating properly although the events tab in properties on the second card shows this.
Device PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_67FF&SUBSYS_230B1458&REV_FF\4&1b9 ac3f3&0&0030 requires further installation.
Tried to update the driver but I get a “Driver is up to date” with no other options. At this point if I want to use two monitors I will have to revert to using the nVidia cards.
Hardware / Software
Motherboard MSI P55 GD 65, it’s discontinued but I have the last bios update
16GB DDR3 Ram, CPU is a Core i5 655K (two cores)
Windows 10 SB 64
Latest 32 bit versions of SAC and Saw Studio
Thanks for any ideas in resolving the issue. Maybe it’s an issue with the Windows version I’m using.
