Quadro 4000 slower than 8800 GT?
In case any of you are ready to pull the trigger on the new card, see my xbench results below. I got mine at Videoguys for $895. Amazon has it for $834, but out of stock. Don’t have Resolve yet, just getting all the pieces first. I have an email into tech support to see what’s going on. This is just a pure apples to apples test in Slot 1 with driver v256.01.00f03 (latest driver 16 NOV 10).

Well, I got the same results , maybe 10% more with the Gt120 hooked up to the screen and the GTX 285 in Slot 1.
So the question is, does this say anything about Resolve ?
I dont trust Xbench…
It benchmarked my Raid with 190 mb/s
Resolve with 540 or so…and I can playback two streams of HD…so it seems true.Does anyone have a project with a simple sequence or still frame and a bunch of heavy nodes we could benchmark ?

I am not blown away by the Quadro 4000’s spec sheet either, but Resolve doesn’t care about OpenGL performance. Resolve uses NVIDIA’s CUDA technology, which allows programmers to use the GPU for number crunching instead of just display.
This is why the configuration guide specs two graphics cards; one will drive the monitor only, leaving the second card free to handle processing.

Yeah, we kinda know that, dont we 😉
Just kidding…
The question remains…
Can anyone with decent DaVinci experience set up a project with a set of nodes that really stress those cores ?
Then we could start deactivating them and see how our system react.
Or is there some more sophisticated way to test CUDA and DaVinci performance.
I mean, dont get me wrong…
I am more than happy I got the GTX 285 and instead bought the Decklink.
The Q 4000 looked shiny, but I dont really need it it seems.A slice of color…
