The Xpress Pro HD doesn’t show the NVidia QuadroFX3000 as certified…
I’ve got a Dell 650 workstation that totally meets the basic requirements for Avid XPress PRO HD.
My video card is the NVidia Quadro FX 3000. A card that costs twice as much as the other cards listed as certified.
Is anyone out there using this card with Xpress?
Might it meet the standards?

The QuadroFX 3000 card is NOT certified for use with Avid Xpress Pro HD. I know people who are using it okay, but your mileage may vary. Because it is uncertified, you are gambling on it working. Stick with the Avid-certified Nvidia 67.22 display driver and you should be okay. It’s bundled with Avid, in the C:/Program Files/Avid/Utilities/Nvidia folder.

Bummer. I’m trying to find a way to edit DVCPRO HD without buying a Mac. Avid is my last hope until after NAB.

I don’t follow. A Nvidia QuadroFX 1100 card (AGP 8x) is certified and would work just as good, though you won’t get a resolution output of higher than 1600×1200 on your computer monitors. If you’ve got the QuadroFX 3000 card already in your system, make sure you try the Avid certified drivers (and even uncertified ones if you have to) and see if you can get it working first. If you have no luck, THEN look elsewhere.
For what it’s worth, I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. You’ve got it in your system so try it out.
