Maybe you'll get lucky and through trial and error, find a driver version that makes an unqualified card work, or maybe you won't. Now that doesn't mean that a different card from the ones Avid supports definitely will not work. On the Mac side of the house, GeForce cards and Radeon ATI cards that Apple supports are supported by Avid. No GTX cards are officially supported on the PC side, only quadro cards.
If you Google "Avid" plus "Gforce (and model number)" you should get hits off this forum with specifics for any alternative card.Īs Carl has indicated, the only official statement from Avid about qualified graphics cards on the PC side of the house (from the system requirements link above) is: Graphics card: NVIDIA Quadro FX family 3 (FX 560 or higher recommended). Due to the significant number of variables however, this may not translate to good results in your system. Lastly, yes, some users are using off-spec cards (Gforce Series), and having good results. If you're a hobbyist, go for one of the "entry level" supported cards. The price difference is meaningless in a proper business model. If you generate income from this system, most here will recommend the supported video cards. When you say, "nVidia Geforce GTX cards which are much better than the pricey Quadro series", can you qualify that? They may be better for gaming, but they are not better for editing, specifically with Media Composer. Avid's code is written to exxploit the OGL on that specific series of cards. The only tested, qualified and supported cards are the Quadro Family, FX 380 LP, FX 570, FX 3700, FX 3800, FX 4800, 600, 2000, and 4000. If you go to Carl's link, and then to the specific systems that are qualified, you'll see the list.
