Hi,
Since i’m on Cubase pro 14 (upgrade from cubase pro 10.5), i have some weird graphics issues on my second screen (where i put my mix console).
My screen sometimes becomes white (for no reason), and some pixel squares appear when i move my mouse on it. Sometimes Cubase crashes just a few minutes after it.
Does anybody also have thesee kind of issues?
Hi and welcome to the forum,
Are you on Windows or macOS? Which version? What graphic card do you use? Is the graphic card driver up to date?
Could you attach a screenshot?
Could you attach the *.dmp/ips crash file(s)?
Mac: macOS Console utility > Crash Reports (or ~user/Library/Logs/Diagnostic Reports).
Win: %userprofile%/Documents/Steinberg/Crash Dumps
Hi Martin,
Late answer, but here are more information. Cubase doesn’t really crash, but the player cursor disappears after these “white” screens, so i have to close and reopen it to get things back to normal.
My config is windows 11, intel i5 14600KF, Nvidia Gforce GT 710.
I also have weird zooms on some plugins (softube and UA) on my second screens. Main screen is on HDMI, second on VGA
Hi,
As you are using Nvidia, please try the following.
Thanks Martin, i’ll try this in the next few days!
I’ll keep you posted
I tried this, and this is still happening sometimes. I just see some updates, i’ll install it and check if it’s still there.
For such a good looking studio, the 710 looks distinctly out of place. Monitors are a lot bigger than they were 10 years ago.
I’d suggest a new GPU, not necessarily an expensive one, just one with a bit more muscle.
What @Googly_Shakespeare said and to add further weight to his suggestion: your graphic card is not even supported anymore by Windows 11…
Hi,
I also have the NVIDIA GT710 and run C14 with no issues. I had those issues in the past however using C13 but these kind of graphical glitches were solved by updates for Cubase.
But… you could try the settings as described in the following link. At the time I had the issues this fixed my problems. So create a profile for C14 and set V-Sync to “Fast”.

Don’t just update the driver, do a clean install. You may have other packages that are out of date as well affecting the GPU integration. There should be a checkbox available when installing.
Yes +1
Time to say goodbye to the GT 710. Seriously. This is obsolete and it will give you problems going forward. It’s from 2014 (the architecture itself from 2013 if I recall), and was low-end back then, and even the built-in integrated graphics of an old Intel CPU from 2017 has far better performance, which is saying something.
Many modern plugins and even our dear Cubase/Nuendo have updated their graphics frameworks in recent years, and take advantage of the GPU resources more than just a few years ago. So it’s time to upgrade the graphics card, because this kind of thing will happen to you more often going forward, especially with plugins that demand more GPU resources. Programming frameworks don’t stand still.
Like Mr. Googly Smythe said, you don’t need an expensive one or a new one, but bring yourself at least into 2017 or 2018-era architectures with 4GB or more of RAM. A good old trusty Radeon Pro graphics card from that era will work great. I’ve got a bunch of them in the studio, solid as a rock. If you want to stick with nVidia, then go for at least the Turing generation of around 2018.
Again, the GT 710 is obsolete for DAW work today… it was from the Kepler 2 generation, if I recall, which started around 2013… and it has had its day in the sun. If you want to keep using the GT 710, then put in an old machine to use as a Linux computer and have fun exploring Linux. But not for DAW work in 2025 with current plugins and DAWs on Windows 11.
Cheers and good luck!
Thanks for all these answers guys! It’s not a big deal, so yes, time to upgrade my graphic card.
Merci!
