Re: [Avid-L2] Graphics Card Recommendations

If / when, you need to do troubleshooting and hold down the 'option' button to choose a different disk to start up from, not having this start up screen becomes a bit of an issue.

That can be worked around. If you know you want to boot from another disk, just use the Startup Disk control panel and reboot. If it's a sudden issue, you can still do it blind...just use the L/R arrow keys and hit return to boot from your alternate disk. I've also sild my startup disk out and slid in a backup disk. I then put my startup in an external case to do run disc utility on it.

Not as convenient, but when you consider how much cash you saved, it's not a big deal. If you are always changing startup disks, this probably isn't for you, but if it's something you do every now and then, it's really not bad.

Just keep that in mind.

Most? Is anyone out there testing this systematically? I deduce from this thread that several people have had good experiences running PC bios GTX 680. Is the experience with other cards as good?
