Thanks for the link but ive already done this.
I do have onboard graphics, and have used it in the past, totally bypassing my Nvida card. I even used the HDMI out from thr motherboard. I still had issues, although not the one reported in this thread. But still, i had graphic issues with no Nvidia involvement.
My comment on asking where the setting was was in relation to the ‘right click on the .exe’ post, which isnt there, and i cant see why its been posted twice now. It doesn’t help at all.
Im in agreement with digitallysane. I’m not convinced about all this ‘it’s Nvidia’s fault’. Surely the code for CB was written to work with their drivers from the start. Did Nvidia change something? Is it a case of Steinberg refuse to re write their code, and Nvidia refuse to re write theirs? I can understand the latter, as pointed out, Steinberg are a relatively small company so Nvidia wont pander to them, but Steinberg have an obligation to ensure that their program does work with hardware that is very common amongst PC users. Why was it written knowing it wouldn’t work 100% in the first place?
‘We cannot bypass this technology so easy’. Ok, its not easy, but you need to do it to give your user base a better experience. Easier said then done i agree, but if its been going on for so long, and only now we hear about, something isnt right.
They need to put a note or disclaimer on their website IMO. Selling software that has a known issue with certain industry standard graphics card should be pointed out. I can imagine if it were other, bigger companies, a class action law suit could be on the cards. But then I suppose if they did that, with the majority of PC owners using Nvidia cards they might not sell so many copies of CB.
The fact that 99% of crashes are with Nvidia cards is not a surprise, as these cards dominate the market. There will naturally be more of these cards in a random selection IMO. The more worrying fact is the other 1%. This seems to show its not exclusive to Nvidia, although i like the 1% odds better.

Yes, we did talk about Admin mode before, and no, I’m not using it in this mode. I have to with older projects as i was getting strange issues with the waveform display, but now I’m back to user mode for new projects, but still with the following issue. The reason i was using Admin mode was POS would not close when i use User mode. Even with stand alone’ she like Halion, or Wavlab etc. All had to be run in Admin to ensure POS shut down when it was not in use. It would close eventually, but if i was switching applications I’d have to force quit it from Task manager.
Still, with all this said, CB is an amazing program, and the Dev’s have done an amazing job coming up with this. It just needs a bit more and we are good. There are obviously loads of bugs that arent GPU related that also need fixing though.
