GPU RAM question
-
The 470 and 570 are both 2 x 6-pin.
-
The standard (I.e. non classified) 580 works fine in Mac Pro with the 120 as GUI card. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks without issue. But the 570 does require less power.
-
Ok. Not the same as 470 then. Confused power connectors with 480. My 480 came with 6pin to 8pin adapter and works fine with stock Mac pro power supply.

Thank you guys for the fast responses!
Can you possibly point me in the direction to one of these 570 or 580 cards on ebay or whatever online retailer has it – I would also just buy from a store here in NYC if possible?! Just to verify – this is the most powerful card i can get at this time for non-cubix setup.
I am also still curious as to whether the quadro 4000 will in fact be enough to render 5k shots – i would hate to waste studio friend time..one thing to point out is they are on a macPro 3,1 with much less CPU than my 12-core – does this matter in terms of rendering 5K or just playback? As long as it will render out that is all that matters.
thank you

I’m in NYC too. Unfortunatly b&h doesn’t carry the 3gb 580 in stock. Check with tekserv. Though I’m doubtful. Best bet is newegg.

Can’t speak for the 4000, I know it has 2gb of ram but not sure if that is enough. Performance is not as good as 570/580. Though if you could hold out a week or two the 600 series will be released.
If your source is r3d and you’re not using red rocket then CPU will make a difference. Though I’m not sure if red decode is multithreaded. I can’t say for sure as I haven’t tested decode speed difference.

If there is anyone in Hollywood doing 4K+ work who is running into GPU memory issues, I would be willing to loan out a test Quadro card. I have 5000 with 2.5 GB, a Tesla C2050 with 3 GB and a Quadro 6000 with 6GB. (I think only 4GB is useable in CUDA). All of these cards have same basic performance as GTX470/570/480 but with larger supply of RAM.
When we tested at Jake Blackstone’s office, the GTX480 was still king of all of these, but I think we were doing 1080P stuff, I’m not actually sure.
I would be willing to find out oif these larger frame buffers have an edge for the extreme resolutions that we know are coming.
(And of course, Dwaine M is welcome to try these out as well if he wishes)

if you have a bunch of 4K red footage and you set the project resolution to the same 4K footage size …
you have your 4K test
if you don’t have red rocket in resolve , you can make 4K DPX in redcineX …

I am sorry, I am an Art DIrector who writes video card EFI ROMs on the side. I do not know how to use Resolve beyond getting it to recognize my cards. I just how to make cards work for it.
THis is why I went to Jake Blackstone’s place in the past to get some testing done.
