Mac OS-X 10.8.3

Good to know. I will wait for BM blessing before I update. Also, I need to make sure it all works, before I give thumbs up to all my remote clients…

Peter Chamberlain said they have not come across any problems yet with 10.8.3, so I updated (and CUDA 5.0.45). My Resolve performance seems unchanged, but I have been noticing weird problems in Safari and FIrefox. Sometimes choppy playback of Youtube videos, and sometimes horizontal tearing when scrolling quickly. But not always. Neither Nvidia nor Apple will help of course, since the GTX5xx series is not officially supported. Rats. This is life on the cutting edge.

That dropping frames bug is absolutely not GT120 related.

It’s blackmagic driver/10.8/ FCP7 related

Even with ATI 5770 / ATI 5870 cards this bug is there.

10.8 , Blackmagic 9.7 video driver and FCP7 is a no go on pretty much any system.

You get dropped frames with just a color bar in your sequence.

When you disable the audio playback, the dropped frames is gone.

We have reproduced this on many systems.

Blackmagic is aware but are not sure if they can fix it, as it’s only a problem in FCP7.

Bummer. I get dropped frames too with ati 5770 in fcp 7
Gotta test media express to confirm

Update: I tried adding the 7750, and I will be returning it to the store.
Compared to just my single GTX 570, I got between 1/2 and 1 fps improvement.
