Indeed - just like graphics cards, hard disks, RAM, etc. - but sometimes hardware fails or doesn’t live up to its expectations. That is why there are updates for almost every hardware component out there, that’s why there are certified RAM modules for motherboards and that’s why some companies even support specific hardware setups only. This thread has been visible for many months and everyone having issues to some extend joined in. It doesn’t mean that the UR series works flawlessly. We have been trying to address the discussed issue and the result is the latest driver with its advanced settings enabling support and users to test different settings. It is just that the UR series has been and still is very successful and there are hundreds of thousands of customers using the devices (plus the CI interfaces) which hopefully puts things into perspective. Again, we do care and we will continue to optimize the drivers but on the vast majority of systems they just work.
This is why I am closing this thread now. It’s grown too big to be really useful. Users affected by dropouts should contact the support directly and individually.
