    Is there a chart that shows the advantages of having more than one Quadro 4000?
    We can use two and possibly three (Cubix) but would like to use the third on a back-up Resolve system.

    I can do some math if you would like :

    1 Quadro 4000 = 800 bucks = medium performance = 400 gflops
    3 Quadro 4000 = 2400 = good performance = 1200 gflops
    + extender = 2400 = noise = poor man

    or

    1 GTX 470 = 350 bucks = great performance = 1100 gflops

    And for the rest you go to a nice vacation 🙂

    Awesome thanks!
    Now the GTX isnt that a hack version to work on Mac?
    I might have a hard time suggesting something like that to my company if it is.

    Eric, I feel ya. But, by all accounts, including mine, they’ve been reliable.

    Where would one find one (or 2) of these modified GTX470’s. Or is there a modified firmware somewhere?

    D.J., try eBay. But, I must say, buyer beware. I purchased mine and the Expansion Chassis with the 16TB RAID 5 storage from Film Systems, LLC Alpharetta, GA. USA.
