Lee, I would definitely demo the Arturia stuff (they're all available for free) and then see what you think.
Back in Dec., I demo'd Pigments2, bought it, and now I have the V collection.
Well, in my humble defense, I only had 2 older HDMI cables and I tried both. Looks like the newer card needed a newer cable for it to work.
Glad it worked though....so nice to have my DAW back.
This ^^^ was the problem. Got a new HDMI 2.0 cable, plugged it in, and we have contact.....yaaaay!!
Thanks Pwal and everyone that chimed in, now I can go back to making music.
I don't think the slot is damaged as I was able to use the older AMD card in the same slot AND this one also works in the same slot....just with intermittent black screens (sometimes it works for awhile and then other times continuous black screen). The hard part is to figure out what's actually causing the black screen.
I do have 3 other PCIe slots available.....I'll try seating it in one of those and see if that works. Also will pick up a new cable tonight before I get home.
Yeah, I got it from Amazon about 10 days ago. I really want to find a fix for this, but if not......may have to RMA it and get an AMD card. It really shouldn't be this hard to swap a gpu (especially when I don't have a lot going on in my system...nothing else in the other PCIe slots or any complex setups etc..
Looks like you're talking about the card I replaced (that's 7 years old)….
My new card MSI GeForce 1650 Ventus was released somewhere in November 2019 (I think).
Thanks Reid!
I actually contacted Strezov a few days back and requested a Morin Khuur. He promptly replied and stated I won't disappointed with what's to be released and to be patient etc...
I doubt know I won't be spending the asking price for this, but will definitely look at some vids and see how it sounds. APD needs to get on this and start a 90% off sale.
