I finally left a system on over night running Sandra 2013.
It stopped on an error in media encoding.
I have a decidedly low tech passive cooled graphics card. I almost opted to use the on board graphics because I don't have much appreciation for graphics on my DAW.
So, what can I learn? Should I assume I have some sort of problem? Or is it possible that my graphics setup doesn't even have some particular feature that was tested for?
How do I evaluate and regard the report of a media encoding error?
I tried to Google it... but the keywords "Sandra media encode error" brings up so many non applicable results that I gave up.
Thanks.
best regards,
mike
