Where do you get this news?
Can’t find them online? -
Look for his shop on eBay
Those are standard PC cards, patched to show up as Quadro 4000 on the Mac
They just have double the amount of Cuda pipes .
They will probably work just fine but of course are not officially supportedA slice of color…

Some people are using up to 4 GTX-480 cards (water cooled) with the Asus Supercomputer board running OSX for Resolve. That is allot of GPU I think the 480 will run rings around the 4000 and the 4800. I have 3 GTX285’s in mine and have yet to run out of GPU.

Robert, I have identical setup. Thats funny.
Been thinking about 580 cards if I move to 3D. I’d love to swap EFI strings some time. Are you custom stringing your DSDT or just the normal mods?

480GTX Works fine, with 2K 1.85 10bits log dpx material, 10-12 full effects nodes (Grading/Curve/PowerWindow/Qualifier/Blur all on) 24fps realtime smoothly.
Hope the new GTX590 will work, which got 1024 cuda cores, which is a real monster.mark

I do not have a DSDT file I have a modified BIOS and a usb stick booter which loads a vanilla OSX build on the drive. This is Aquamac’s setup and is super reliable with only 3 or 4 kext files to make the system run. I have a com.apple.boot.plist file with the GTX285 cards in it. Aquamac also has a boot.plist string for the GTX-480’s too.
I have a ATTO R380 and a 20 drive SAS case Iam going to impliment after I finish a job I am working on now. I plan on filling the case with 20 WD black 2Tb disks.
I am temporarily using a Rocket-Raid with 12 1Tb Hitachi Deskstars in Raid-5 which works ok for 2K dpx frames but not the performance I am looking for.
I just bought a Hubble probe and I am looking at PJ’s and I am buying Lightspace for calibration…… so $ is flying….
