What Video Cards Work Best

[Bill Davis]

I don’t know, there are a LOT of variables in play here.

RAM, Processor, OS, etc. etc.

Maybe even footage type and processor transcoding load for all I know?

All I can say with confidence is that on my laptop, configured as it is, FCP-X is running EXTREMELY stably with no issues. I’ve been primarily working with XDCAM EX 1080p 30 files or 5dMk II H-264 files via ProRes and no problems so far with any of them – I’ve got a VERY stable workflow going on the laptop, (knock wood).

Whether that translates to anyone else’s specific situation is up for debate.

Perhaps this question would fit in better at the “FCP X Bug Techniques” Forum?

Sorry, I couldn’t help being immature.
