“New” graphics card
-
[Malcolm Matusky] “My board is an Asus P6X58D-E LGA 1366 socket; Intel® X58/ICH10R chipset.”
Malcom, my PC is a Dell T3500 with a six-core, 12 threads processor. It’s CPU is a LGA1366 Xeon X5650 (on the same X58/ICH10R chipset) – those CPU are pretty cheap on eBay. You can go all the way up to X5690 (higher frequency, higher price).
Basically they are the Extreme versions of your i7, and it seems that they work perfectly on your board:

The new card, GTX980, does speed up the timeline and I have it set to full resolution. I think the Quadro driver is too old to work well with the GTX driver so I decided to get a second GTX980 and pull the quadro from my system. Resolve works best with matched cards anyway. Stability has not been an issue.

I bought a used, X5680 and overclocked it to just under 4G/HZ, and doubled my ram. After configuring the system, it’s working very well and I’ll put off an X99 board upgrade for a year or so.

No “Mercury playback” with the Quadro and GTX card, the drivers must be conflicting, so I decided to get the second GTX980 now. It’s on order, so hopefully my system will be full tuned with the second GTX.

Awesome results – from 3.33 to 4GHz!

Thank you very much, Malcolm,
do you have any information about the multi display setup question? Nah, I guess with TWO GTX 980 you won’t ever be in a situation to hook up all 8 (eight!!) potential displays 😉
Any one else? Can the 970/980ies provide 4 unrestricted separate desktop displays with up to 1920×1200 pixels?
Thanks anyway

They support “NVIDIA Surround™ with up to Four Monitors”:

Just installed the second GTX980 and Resolve shows a big performance boost. All my monitors (3) are in Card 1, and card 2 is just for graphics acceleration. The quadro driver had a better interface, but as I’m using the GTX, I only have the “game” driver. Lost the performance graph, showing real time GPU usage for each card.

3 monitors with one card works well. I have one for displays and the other for GPU acceleration.

Interesting, Nvidia is talking about a “5760 x 1080” field of view and the pic on their site shows 3 displays in a row with an office view monitor on top. So what about 4 displays in a row – 7680 x 1080 – seems not feasible (leaving alone 7680 x 1200). But it is great to hear it works for you and Vegas Pro/Resolve.
Btw. what about using the performance graph of MSI Afterburner? Or the really solid freebie Nvidia Inspector – a tool providing massive OC and/or power saving modifications besides putting up a real time performance graph with temperatures, fan speeds voltages etc.
