4000 vs fx 4800 vs 285
Does anyone have performance results for these cards?
We are choosing between the 4000 and 4800 (as the 285 is unavailable outside the US)
Is the 4800 worth the extra $1k?

Oh, we had the 8800 laying around, but from what I hear it does not support Cuda on mac?

I have the 285 and its like 20% faster than the 4800.
The 4000 is even slower, but only uses one slot, you can add a 285 for processing AND then you have a good card for Premiere or anything else too.
Requires modding the power cable though 🙂
Cheap solution : ebay 285 (paypal) plus GT120 appleshop
Smartest solution : Dual Quadro 4000, 2000 bucks, great processing, fast UI
Best solution : Quadro 4000 plus CubixA slice of color…

I suppose we could get a 4000 and when more processing power is needed get another 4000.
Although the second 4000 would not affect processing speeds? only UI quickness?

depends how you use your 4000.
i would put both 4000 to cubix and have 120 for gui.

Not sure how to measure it really as I only have the 4800. I have just graded a 90 minute HD (ProRes and DVCProHD, over 700 scenes for a BBC documentary. At least 3 nodes on each scene and up to 7, 8, 9 at times, including blur, sharpen etc but no more nodes than 9. I didn’t get real time throughout but most of the time it was real time and certainly the Director and I were very impressed with the performance!
However, Stability was the real surprise. The system was ROCK SOLID! V7.1,
Can’t compare to the others, but glad I bought the 4800!Post Production in Brighton

Would DaVinci benifit from 2x Quadro 4000 cards vs 1x Quadro 4000 + 1x GT120, both placed in the comp?
One of the Quadro’s would drive the GUI of course.
