Rendering in FX 4800 and GTX 285

[Gary Taylor]

Thanks Hisayuki!

That was very helpful. What was the length of your footage?

Thanks,
Gary

Thank you, that’s great!

Did you try Color with the same hardware? I’m just curious how much faster Resolve is.

Not sure about the 2009 version but shouldn’t your REDrocket be in Slot 4 to get at least 4 lanes?

Resolve system:
MacPro 8 core 2010 – 16B memory
9TB harddisk (1 system disk, 8TB in software raid 0 for data)
Nvidea GTX285
Nvidea GT120
Blackmagic SDI Decklink
RedRocketcard.

Also running it on a MacBook Pro 17″ (5.2)

Great info and just goes to show if you have the right system it is worth waiting only 10-15% longer for 10bit DPX instead of ProRes422 to keep the online and effects work high quality!

Though it has been forgotten to write, this footage have 1800 frames.
I have not done this comparison with Color yet.
When I did R3D in rendering by using Color, it very took time.
I think it is unquestionable because it is a specification as which both Slot-3 and 4 are the same.

hello Hisayuki,

great post – just curious how exactly and what type of monitoring are you using going out of your macpro?

cheers

It is possible to measure at this time and it calculates from the time stamp of the file that goes up. The QuickTime file was calculated at the date and time of creation and the last update time.

The display that I often use is CG series made of NANAO. CG232 and CG243 are used this time.

CG243 is what you use ok great i will compair on b&h.com to the Dreamcolor (they seem to be in the same price point). Might I ask exactly how do you connect from your macpro to keep 10 bit rec. 709 accuracy?

CG243 is used in 8 bit mode. (NOT 10bit) It connects it with Mac by DVI. REC709 is not used at this time because the color space is a native of Mac. If REC709 is necessary, the video monitor is connected and handled from the DeckLink card.
