  • Reinstall after installing new graphics card?

    Posted by Martin Nelson on May 24, 2010 at 5:54 pm

    Is it necessary or advisable to do a fresh install of the operating system and/or FCS after installing a new graphics card? I recently installed the ATI Radeon HD 4870 and am having an endless number of graphics related crashes.

    Should not be necessary…have you tried trashing your preferences. This will force FCP to re-profile for RTExtreme.
