I have not been able to use V13 since the last update due to this problem: After a short indeterminate amount of time using 13, my monitor all-of-a-sudden goes black. The system is still running but I have no video and have to reboot. I have already turned off the GPU acceleration and it occurs whether I am reviewing at Best or Worst quality. Nothing else on my system causes this problem.
When I contacted Sony they told me that the graphics card I have been using for years was no longer supported by Vegas. When I asked for some help on what would be the best card to use as a replacement, I was told that Sony cannot recommend brands. I asked if he could just tell me the best specs. such as memory type and quantity, etc., without mentioning a brand name... again, he could not tell me. I was not given any information on where there might be a list of video cards that are currently known to work with V13. OK. So now I turn to the experts... this forum.
Is there a fix for my problem without purchasing a new expensive GPU or what are the best specs or card suggestions? Here is what I currently have: Intel i7 Extreme CPU 333Ghz, 12Gb RAM, running Windows 7 Ultimate at 64 bit with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 GPU.
I am currently resorting to using V12 but that is ridiculous considering that V13 worked before. I can try to eliminate the last update (which may be the last update for V13 considering the MAGIX buy-out) but I wanted to pick the forum's brains first. Any suggestions are appreciated. If nothing else, I would appreciate a listing of what graphics cards everyone else is using with good luck on V13. Just a reply with your card would be more helpful than what I've gotten so far.
Thanks for any help!
