new mac pro dual quad core with ATI 5770

[Shane Ross]

[George Seven] “reading the avid documentation it looks like it’s not supported. Apparently, only Nvidia cards are supported.”

Untrue. I am running MC5 on my ATI4870 card…just fine. You get a bit more RT if you use Nvidia, but ATI cards work fine.

[George Seven] “Does it means I can’t have hd monitoring? Does it means I can’t get fullscreen output?”

You don’t use the graphics card for this. For that you need an external box, like the Nitris DX, Mojo DX, or MXO2.

[George Seven] “If I buy a Matrox MXO2 mini, do you think I’ll be ok.”

That will get you output to a monitor…sure. And to a deck…yes. But lacking deck control. But it works fine…I use it myself.

[George Seven] “Or do I have to buy a Nvidia card?”

Nope.
