Video Breakup Test results for Brandon

[AJL14]

Checked everything, Brandon. The output from the Canopus Storm card is absolutely clean. No breakup, no noise, no streaks. Suspect the video card now. It's a PCI Nvidia GeForce FX 5600. Not sure 128 or 256. Should work ! ! ! The NVidia is on the same IRQ as the 1394 card, but the same symptoms occurred before I installed the 1394 card for HD last year. As I said, the only time it exhibits video noise is during the hard drive access, which is controlled by a SCSI 3Ware Raid contoller, which is NOT on the same IRQ.

I changed all kinds of setting every which way - rebooted a dozen or so times, and to no avail. Just have to endure, I guess, until I can build another unit from scratch. Unless you know something about the NVidia cards which I don't....!!!!

Meanwhile, again thanks much.
Best,
Alan

I doubt that a PCI graphics card will work for video editing, way too slow

use AGP graphics card or PCI Express graphics card

Thanks, Anton. Just opened the case to check, and the NVidia IS an AGP board. Trying to get into the BIOS now to see if the 4x is turned on. Thanks for the help.

Alan,

I would also recommend updating the the latest driver from Nvidia. Sometimes Windows Update will auto-upgrade you, which can sometimes be good and sometimes be bad.

for the FX5600 AGP card, see if you can go to driver archives and download version 61.77

the above driver is perfect for realtime Xplode and Xplode Pro 4.5
