    I currently am running a 12 core mac with a single quadro 4000. Thinking about getting another. Could someone with this setup give me a rough percentage of how much faster I could expect at render. Right now at render on Alexa footage I am getting anywhere from 24 to 27fps.

    Hi, the real question is, will a second q4000 give me twice the render speed I’m expecting? Certainly If you have one Q4000 that’s used to process images a second should double the speed….. Except there are many aspects to the speed question. While two Q4000 will process the finance in resolve at twice the speed than one, can you disks, disk raid controller, motherboard I/O and CPU’s keep up?

    My guess, just a guess as I don’t know your disk speed or CPU utilization, the second GPU card will increase the render performance but some other aspect within the data chain will limit improvement so you might not get 50fps.

    We have customers who do render at over 100 fps, but their systems are specifically configured to do that.

    I am using 2 4000’s in a cubix and I get an Alexa Pro Res to dpx render at anywhere between 50&70Fps.

    Pro Res to Pro Res about 80fps and all DNxHD renders at around 25-30fps.
