ArtRAge Vitae and Wacom Tablet

[MAB]

Something about ARV did not like the HD of the 4k resolution, I'm sure Andy or one of the programmers will figure it out and make the needed corrections. I am finding that Windows 11 does not like the Intel graphics but has no problem with NVIDIA (I have one screen using Intel card and two using NVIDIA). Thankfully, help on YouTube is plentiful

When my Cintiq 21 was giving up the ghost, XP-PEN had a deal on the 22R pen screen that I could not refuse (including a free ArtRage 6). Using three monitors I just do not have room for a 24". I was so impressed with the 22R that I ended up moving the Wacom tablet to the old computer (the disaster desk in the posted photo) and bought an XP-PEN tablet with another choice of free software (I chose OpenCanvas 7). To my pleasant surprise, the pen tablet and screen work together, with the pen from one working seamlessly with the other. That also makes the pens interchangeable, which means extra pens The only negative I have on the XP-PEN so far is that the pens are more fragile than the Wacom pens... you do not want to drop one. The good news is the pens are in the $16US cost range.

When you get a good deal on hardware, with a free program that you're into, it's hard to pass on a deal like that. My desktop is full with my monitor and Cintiq. My graphics card can't handle anything more. At this point, I'm okay with just one monitor, but it would be nice to have the option to add another one if I need to.

I've had the best of luck with nVidia graphic cards. I've never owned a Mac because I can build a better machine for less money. I got the ARV update and tried turning Retina & High DPI Screen Support and it opens up oversized. I couldn't change the option back until I closed ARV, turned of the Cintiq and reopened ARV on my monitor. I played with the setting a bit, but still the same. I turned if off and it's working normally again. I don't know if Andy or anyone else in support checks the forums, but this is what my Cintq looked like:

Check your card, Wacom and Windows display drivers for a screen resolution of 3840 x 2160. Change the setting to 1920 x 1080, then start ARV.

Thank you, MAB!

The Windows settings needed tweaking.
