Really helpful info, thank you guys.
OK, so I disabled the Intel HD Graphics 4600 in device manager as suggested and now use the GT 640 as the only graphics card (presumably before, the graphical tasks were divided between the Intel 6400 and the GT 640) and with just one screen connected and no peripherals (I have the accelerator card fitted but I haven't yet connected the SX-36, desktop console and desktop editor) version 17.4.3 build 10 boots.
Definitely, I need to upgrade the graphics card, because I don't really want to 'bin' this machine if I can upgrade it. It was an expensive water cooled 'Pro Tools PC' that I purchased because we had to have a machine to 'transcode' PTX projects to Xynergi. However, with great joy, I'm once again Pro Tools free and want to use this machine for Fairlight. It has had very, very few flying hours accrued on it.
*I think* it should be useful with a new graphics card in it: it's an Intel Core i7-4790k CPU @ 4.00GHz, with 32GB of RAM. So nothing startling by today's standards, but is it capable of running my Fairlight studio, would people better qualified than me think? (Machine is running Win 10 21H2)
One thing that puzzles me is CUDA, or a graphic card's 'CUDA rating'. In the thread it suggests I need a card capable of CUDA 11, yet as far as I can tell I can only see that the latest version of CUDA is 8.6. What am I misunderstanding about that CUDA number?
Thanks again for your patience. Sound is my passion; the equipment I use is either the barrier or the portal to what I create for my clients... (Which is my apology for not being better 'across' the hardware side of things!)
[UPDATE] Resolve loads fine, but the graphics card can't play back pictures smoothly; so I'm open to recommendations for NVIDIA cards as a replacement for the elderly GT 640.
[UPDATE - NEXT DAY] Fitted NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 4GB card, and all seems stable... Until the next release I expect!
Kindest regards, and my grateful thanks to those who took the time to help,
Neil.
