I've done a bit of research on this but I am no expert so I was curious of any of you amazing people had any insight on this topic. I am a video editor and have been successfully using both the 560ti and the HD4000 simultaneously. The 560Ti powers my 23" cinema display (DVI) and a 50" HDTV (mini-HDMI) while the HD4000 powers the secondary ****ty vertical monitor(DVI). I have had no issues for a couple months with this setup and really enjoying the 3 screen configuration to edit and display full screen playback on the HDTV.
However, as of recently I now have all kinds of problems with random lockups and freezes. I've pinned the issue down to the graphics because any audio and/or hard drives will continue for minutes while I stare at frozen screens. I The only thing I changed in recent times was the "put hard disks to sleep when possible", but after two freezes and reboots I disabled that option (I don't think it was working anyway) and it hasn't been the same since. I don't know how that could be related, but it may have something to do with it. I also have the miniHDMI going through a HDMI switch before hitting the TV and occasionally that thing gets confused, but why should an outside switch have an effect on the entire machine's display output?
It is a wee bit annoying to find a locked up machine mid-edit without saving for a couple minutes and I'm curious if this is a common issue and if there are any workarounds or solutions.
You guys rock
