    Thunderbolt allows for loop through and two devices operating at full speed. So two ports = up to 4 devices at full speed.

    Juan Salvo:
    “Thunderbolt allows for loop through…”

    Now if only more vendors would add a second Thunderbolt port for pass through. Way too many vendors’ TB implementations seem to assume their device will be at the end of the chain. That thinking certainly could constrain the purchase of TB-based devices.

    Christopher, since the next generation MacBook ProbRetuna is available, I suspect Barefeats will have some benchmark results within the month. Not sure if they would specifically address Resolve performance.

    Looking forward to the results some of the creatives will be posting here about their hands-on tests since I’m sure some will be buying the new laptop.

    Is it really possible to use both graphics cards in a MacBook Pro in this way (1 for GUI and one for Cuda processing) ??! Has anyone actually made this work?

    This is how it worked with resolve in the previous gen 17″ MacBook pro.

    On older MacBook 17″ i have used it like so.

    1 one was for guy and second for gpu.

    Different question is how media speed will be etc.

    it should be rally possible but actual field testing is needed.

    What about Resolve on the Retina display and how it will pixel double any application that does not have built in support for Retina Resolution? Will this degrade the resolve interface? And keeping at the optimum resolution of the computer still has the real estate of a 1440×900 screen. How would you expect this will effect Resolve on the screen?
