Gtx470
I have heard some rumours that GTX470 could also work with Da Vinci Resolve for Mac. Anyone tested?

If anyone knows otherwise please correct me.
short term answer: no.
Even the hacked drivers don’t yet support cuda.long term answer: at best maybe.
Unless nvidia miraculously writes and davinci supports a gtx470 driver, you’re success would be governed by all the following:
– commmunity develops CUDA capable hacked drivers based on some kind of new nvidia mac release. (Prob Quadro 4000.)
– Davinci CUDA driver (pg9 of manual) is compatible with hacked FERMI driver.
– Davinci actually runs, with performance better than gtx285. -
The rumor was that a beta build of the next OSX update seeded to developers did contain beta drivers for the 480 card. Not sure how much of that is valid.
The other problem is that the GTX480 is *very* absurdly power hungry. I am not sure if any of the current mac power supplies allot enough power for a card like that.

The code you were referring to has been used to add hacked support for the 4X0 cards, but that support does not include CUDA or OpenCL. Also the actual performance using the card isn’t amazing yet.
Power problems are solvable.

I got a GTX480 and am waiting for the drivers. (Hackintosh here).
Not sure if I’ll wait or simply sell it and get a 285.

Some people seem to love getting angry. I don’t 🙂 -
I honestly think Apple is either waiting for the new generation of cards or developing the drivers as we speak.
The Quadro 4800 is so last year, or even the year before.
With the 480 you get double the amount of CUDA pipelines and that would really boost DaVinci.
I am also planing to Hackintosh as soon as I get my copy, but I think with the supported devices we are better off the next couple of month.
