    Second partition or second drive to boot from, chamelion and a 10.7 build with a modified dsdt file and a com.plist file that describes the video card setup. Plus the new nVidia drivers that support the GTX590 on OSX. Basic hackintosh stuff. Then you could run NTFS on the OSX partition to beable to read and write NTFS disks and MacDrive on the Win7 system to read and write HFS+ disks.

    Although with the Windows version of Resolve being able to write Pro-Res I think that the need for an OSX system is largely diminished.

    ‘now that the GTX590 runs on both platforms’

    Does it? With all 1024 Cuda cores recognised in OS X? How!? Would love to know so I can upgrade my 480 in my hackintosh (-:

    There are new drivers from nVidia that enable all of their cards on the Mac including the GTX-590. However I think there may be a power issue with the Mac-Pro and the power hungry 590 you may need to add an external power supply.

    The info I have suggests that PCIe x8 (40Gbps) bus bandwidth can get saturated quickly when running Resolve 8.x. If no Gen2 x16 slot available, I suggest going with new system. Based on specs for several 3rd party workstations I’ve seen so far, you could still use an Xpander for adding multi-GPU performance to Resolve 8.
