  • What Display card? Refresh rate sluggish.

    Posted by Ed Stevens on October 19, 2005 at 1:48 pm

    My SYSTEM

    MAC dual G5 2.5 gig. 4.5 gb RAM. OS 10.3.8
    Blackmagic Decklink Extreme card v4.8b
    FCP 4.5 production Suite
    500GB G-Raid Firewire800
    Decks = Beta-SP, DVCpro, DigiBeta.
    Audio Mix = Mackie 1604 VLZpro
    I believe I have the stock display card
    Panasonic AJD-230H DVCpro deck

    I have a Radeon 9600XT display card. Things seem to be sluggish on the refresh of my display especially when I have more layers. Is this due to the Display card? What do you think of the Radeon 800XT? (I think this is the one that does not use up 2 slots). I have 4.5Gig of RAM. Just ordered 2 more gig.
    Thanks for help in advance.

    A card will not help your FCP process your realtime, unfortunately, at this rev, it’s all about CPU, not GPU.
    A new card will make Motion scream, though.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
