GTX680 looks like a resolve beast
-
A separate GUI card will still be necessary for best performance.
-
sure, I can work with only one gtx480 with realtime… its a little slower than with a gui card, but not so much.
-
Pretty cool. When you say slower, is this due to the type of source footage you are working or just how the GUI generally performs regardless of source footage resolution?
-
slower = less nodes at realtime
-
Ah yes, I understand now. Thanks.

As reported elsewhere, if you run the 10.7.4 seed that has been released, it will break the Nvidia support. The newer Nvidia drivers no longer init Non-EFI cards.
You can still use ATY_INit installed in extensions folder to make most of these cards work however.
Someone also needs to try putting pieces of the “magic” 10.7.3 drivers into a 10.7.4 install to see if it can be pieced together to keep newer cards working.
Be aware that running current 10.7.4 Beta will BREAK GTX570/580 support that came in new 10.7.3 drivers.
As much as we all want to think GTX680 will be working in Mac Pros from Day 1, keep in mind that from release of Fermi cards in March of 2010, we did not get functional OSX drivers until late fall of 2010 when Mac Quadro 4000 was released. It is possible that Nvidia and Apple will burn the midnite oil and release drivers from get go, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

It will never change,
buy a PC!HP Z800, for example – it have more than enough PCI slots..
