V8 + GTX480 + 10.6.8 issues
Hello everyone.
I’ve been using Resolve 7 on my Hackintosh, and it was working, although once in a while I had some crashes.
My hardware is far far away from the configuration guide. I work at a post house and we are willing to open a new grading suite with a Hackintosh + Resolve, so that’s why I’m testing the software on my own Hackintosh and not caring much about the perfect performance.
I have a P5W DH Deluxe mobo with a Q6600 processor, DeckLink SDI video card, GTX480 graphics card, 8GB RAM. For the ‘real’ suite we are getting an Asus P6T7 mobo + GTX480 + ATI 5770 + DeckLink 3D (plus other cards we already have, storage and redrocket).Last week I was closing a project and I didn’t want to update to 10.6.7 (or 8) and V8 just in case, so I did it yesterday night.
I’m using the latest graphics and CUDA drivers from NVIDIA.I’m experiencing these issues:
– When opening older projects, this error shows up: “Error running GPU algorithms. GPU memory might be exhausted, try reducing the number of concurrent correctors.” And all the output video and thumbnails show up as pure noise.
If I create a new project with the same timeline this error doesn’t appear, image loads OK.
In V7 I had 16FPS playback, it is limited by the CPU and in the GPU monitors I can see its memory never fills. I remember working with +15 nodes in extreme situations and playback would remain at 16fps.– Noise reduction is not working. I move the sliders but the image stays the same. I somehow feel that Resolve is not recognizing the CUDA cores and it’s processing over OpenCL. Can anyone confirm this? At least, does Resolve on ATI cards let you move the NR sliders?
– During playback the image flashes constantly, every one or two seconds there is a flash that seems to be an “unprocessed” frame.
I’m just looking for some advice, as I know I can’t expect official support with this hardware.
I didn’t want to get an extra graphics card because of the playback speed being limited by the GPU. Anyway I could get one if you think this is the issue.
Thanks to everyone willing to help 😀

Could you check if your dongle is plugged in properly, and is being seen by the Mac? Try plugging it directly into the Mac if you are using a USB extension for your panels, and might have plugged the dongle into that.
If yes, could you please capture logs, and contact our support at davincihelp (at) blackmagic-design.com.

Hi Rohit. The dongle is plugged in, when I unplug it Resolve shows the license error when starting.
I tried plugging it to another port, but this doesn’t change anything.
The dongle still works OK with the previous version (I’m actually trying 10.6.8 + v8 in another hard drive, the main drive still boots 10.6.5 and V7 with no problems).Thanks,
Rodrigo.—

That is strange – please send logs, and also send save the output of Mac System Profiler with the dongle plugged in.
To capture logs run:
/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/CaptureLogs.app

Do you test 10.6.7 with the old nvidia drivers + resolve v8?.

How do you know that your system is working ok ?
May be that v7 did not mind but v8 needs something that is not working as it should ?

Erm.
I’d be wary of supporting an unqualified system Rohit! He clearly states this is running on a PC hacked to run OSX and a GPU that isn’t qualified for use…Ive seen nothing but issues with these setups.
If you want to avoid the problems, use a qualified system 🙂

You’re asking for troubles.
And now you have them. -
Or just take extra time to troubleshoot stuff again and again with every update.
Plus legal aspect as well.

I would like to see a benchmark of this kind of system to weight the benefits of power to the incredible hassle it has.
A slice of color…
DaVinci 7.1.2 OSX 10.6.7
MacPro 5.1 2x 2,4 24GB
RAID0 8TB eSata 6TB

I have in my room two systems. One Macpro 12 core 2.9, and one hackintosh. I decided to use the hackintosh for resolve. Why?. Because I don’t want to spend my money in a cubix. When I have problems with the hack I change to the macpro. But near all the time I work with the hackintosh.
My config is, Ati 5770 for gui. Gtx480+Gtx470 for cuda.
What benchmark do you need?.
I have realtime denoise (26fps). with this parameters:
NR threshold 30.0000
NR radius 2
NR blend 0
Red4k r3d at quarter debayer.
