ATI5770 vs PNYQuadroFX4000 for GUI
Any advantage to swapping out the stock ATI5770 for a Quadro FX4000 as the 1st GPU — there are a couple of 480s waiting in a Cubix enclosure to do the CUDA work…
I’ve got another older MacPro limping along with a 2600 that I’m thinking of swapping the 5770 into.

yep if you plan on doing work in Premiere. Mercury Playback engine takes advantage of CUDA processing but only with the card monitors are plugged into. I swapped out my GT 120 for a GTX285 huge jump in performance in Premiere – Resolve totally working fine

Thanks, exactly the two guys I expected to have the definitive opinions.
So yes for some things, but no biggie for things like AVID, FCP (not X), or Resolve.I was really wondering if there were any overhead issues with having both an ATI OpenCL card and nVidia CUDA cards in the same chassis that might be ameliorated.

Not a problem, I am running Scratch and Resolve side by side, flip back to FCP to export an EDL or such..
No heat problems, not power problems..
Either I am just lucky or bought a really good computer 🙂A slice of color…
