I am not a gamer - this is a PC dedicated to Cakewalk. Need support for 3 monitors. I tend to prefer Asus and Gigabyte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks HIBI and Jim! The MSI that HIBI mentioned does seem to slow the fans at lower temperatures. I'm going to trust Jim's judgement and go with a Gigabyte card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060. It has a lot of reviews that specifically mention how quiet it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, the MSI link I provided says "The fans completely stop when temperatures are relatively low.". Anyway, it's your choice. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Stoner Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Just saw reference to this NVIDIA custom installer. I have AMD Radeon so I can't test it. NVCleanstall v1.16.0 Download | TechPowerUp NVCleanstall lets you customize the NVIDIA GeForce Driver package by removing components that you don't need (or want). This not only keeps things tidy, but also lowers disk usage and memory footprint. Unlike the NVIDIA custom installation, you can unselect packages like "Stereo 3D Glasses", "USB-C", Notebook Optimizations or Telemetry from the NVIDIA drivers.

Henrik Svensson Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Always had nvidia cards, and always accidentally found the most ludicrous fixes for weird bugs I found in my DAW. One was connecting the card to the correct PCIE slot due to different powers between the slots - something you wouldn't normally think you'd have to worry about when shoving a thick juicy graphics card just to load a bit of video in a DAW project...

Having same issue as last time I tried a dedicated Video Card. Not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or need to adjust? I installed the Gigabyte RTX 3060 card and installed minimum stuff using their installer. Even did a re-install using the NVCleanInstall option (thanks Jack Stoner). LatencyMon showing NVIDIA as the culprit. Samsung and one of the Sony TV's are connected to HDMI ports on GTX 3060. One Sony is connected via an active Display Port to HDMI cable (all TVs have HDMI only and GTX3060 has 2 HDMI and 2 DP). All displays look great and are at native resolutions (3840x2160, 60Hz). Samsung is in Landscape and Sony's are in Portrait. I'm not gamer, etc. and am not at all savvy when it comes to GPU's. Any suggestions? Should I disable on-board graphics (or does that even mater)? Using a pretty powerful PC, dedicated to just running Cakewalk.

Jim Roseberry Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 It's the configuration... not the video card. I've got a Gigabyte RTX-3060 running in the machine sitting next to me (the one I'm typing on). No DPC Latency issues. I've used RTX video cards many times for both myself and many clients.
