Multiple NVIDIa Quadro 4000’s.

480 run on regular mac configuration ?

Sounds like a hack.

Do you see a performance increase even if one of the two cards acts as your GUI-card?

i.e. I’m comparing:

1x Quadro for rendering + 1x Quadro for GUI and Renderings

vs

1x Quadro for rendering + 1x ATI for GUI

This would mean one could skip the expansion-box, save a buck for some setups and still gain X % rendering power. You’d also have the CUDA-card available for other apps than Resolve.

No, a second 4000 card in the Mac will not give you any additional GPU performance if it’s being used as the GUI card. It will give you snappier GUI performance.

Just to clarify, the second 4000 card is in addition to the ATI GUI card and primary 4000 card.

Three grfx cards total, 1 x ATI (GUI), 2 x Nvidia (GPU).

HBA card for RAID plus video i/o card and RED Rocket card.

My comment was a reply to Erik’s specific question. If you have a 5770 or GT120 GUI card, then a second 4000 card will boost your GPU performance significantly.

Hi, the two GPU cards have to be the same? For example, can i have a Gtx 285 + a quadro + any GUI?

[Dwaine Maggart]

We recommend that both GPU cards be of the same type.

Gotcha.

Thanks. 🙂
