I also was in disbelief. However, removing the card and going to a 7000 series solved ALL my problems. I have noticed that people with the 8000 series cards can get away with adjusting the Hardware Acceleration slider, as mentioned in your other thread. Try that as a first option. But, for what ever reason, the 8k and 9k nvidia cards cause problems. In Live it was absolutely crippling. In Reaper it wasn't so much, but it did take its tole. Have you DL'd the DPC latency tool and monitored your system for 1/2 hr or so? Borrow another video card or something, and just give it a try. I too have a P4 laptop, and running the same programs give me zero problems. My non Texas Instrument FW PCI card was NOT the problem. Changing the graphics card to a 7000 series was the solution.PsYkeR wrote:Hi gjm! I am indeed running the Nvidia Geforce 8800GT Graphics card; these cards and or similar seem to be consistent with people having the same problem. I just find it hard to swallow that a graphics card could be the source of the issue? What are the repercussions of having this card?
My problems were with Lives GUI, clicking on buttons and drop down menu's. People kept telling me that the Alesis drivers were poor. I was in contact with Alesis and worked through all of their suggestions without a satisfactory result. All things pointed to the graphics card.
Stay in touch with this one. I'd like to follow your progress.
Cheers. Greg.
