Does anyone know if Resolve can be run on an Quadro FX 5800 card? I know it is not in the configuration guide, but wondering if it wouldn’t be compatible anyhow…

Hi David,

Maya 2012 does and (i think)anything Adobe with Mercury Engine will.

so just to understand this I have 2 Quadro 4000 and DaVinci will recognize only 1 GPU? Thanks

Hi Cris,

I think what they’re getting at is you need an OpenGL 2.0 GUI card, and another 1 or more DaVinci-certified graphics cards for GPU acceleration purposes. For example, if you have 3 NVIDIA graphics cards installed in your computer, 2 will be used by Resolve for hardware acceleration purposes.

For Adobe products which feature Mercury Engine hardware acceleration (CS5 included, of course), you need an OpenGL 2.0 GUI graphics card plus another Adobe-certified NVIDIA graphics card specifically for hardware acceleration purposes.

For Autodesk Maya 2012, the recommended graphics configuration is an NVIDIA graphics card for the OpenGL 2.0 GUI plus an additional card (NVIDIA GeForce 330m, Quadro 4000, or Quadro FX 4800 for OS-X) specifically for hardware acceleration purposes. In this case, it would be for Autodesk’s Viewport 2.0 feature.
