  • Davinci Resolve GPU .. Need suggestions

    Posted by Ahmed Aborady on November 12, 2012 at 8:22 pm

    my company ordered a new complete setup for a new workflow
    included a mac pro machine for Color work Davinci Resolve Software

    4 PCI slot

    1 ATI Radeon HD 5870 Graphics card
    2 Deck link 3D extreme 4K
    3 fiberchannel card

    we still have available slot
    my question
    what graphic card will be better if we add it and why ?
    Note : total number of Auxiliary PCIe power connection is no more than 2 and no more one of these cards requires double-width slot

    i already had suggestion for Nvidia Quadro 4000 in the second slot
    i also heard the denoiser in davinci resolve doesn’t work without Nvidia card

    anybody recommend me whats really good to do ?

    as mentioned In Davinci resolve config guide
    we must ensure that total number of auxiliary power connections is no more than 2

    and GTX 570 have 2 Auxiliary power 2
    and Q4000 is also 2

    i wanna ask if i used ATI Radeon 5870 + Nvidia Q4000
    and i install Cuda
    will i lost the feature of denoise ?

    am really confused and i wanna know what is the best cards to have

    You got the answers already…
    GTX 570 or 680.

    forget the 2 aux , you need a Y-splitter and all is well.
    Sure, it helps not to use the ATi cards are they are also power hungry.
    I am running a Quadro 4000 and a GTX 470 for a year now without probs.
    Are you building a home system ? Thats your aim then.
    Is it for professional work, get a Cubix, no more headache, no splitting, no problems and almost unlimited power.

    i’ve already ordered the ATI 5870
    you telling me to cancel this order ? can you confirm it to me ?
    that the 570 and 4000 will be better than the ATI and the Q4000 ?

    and if i can’t cancel that order what will i do ?

    So you need definitely external expander like cubix

    BM suggests a lot different setup for that i think – linux i bet.

    This is what the Linux Resolve configs were meant for.
