Resolve with ATI 4870 + GTX 285?
Hi all.
I’d like to know if Resolve would work on a machine with an ATI 4870 for displays + nVidia 285 for processing.
Does it need both cards to be nVidia? Or is it a system issue? Or what?I understand that the 4870 is much better for running Color than the 285, and if I want to move to Resolve then I’d better learn to use it first 😉 without stopping to work with Color.
Thanks,

The minimum requirements posted elsewhere in this forum states that both cards need to be nVidia cards.

Also, after swapping a 4870 for a 285 I didn’t notice any performance drops in Color. The only downside is you can only work in floating point, but I pretty much use that all the time anyway.
Oh, and the thing is loud. 5 minutes into grading and it sounds like I’m on a runway.

What ? My GTX285 makes LESS noise than the old 8800GT.

What is the best configuration?
Nvidia Quadro 4800 FX + Nvidia GT 120
or
Nvidia GTX 285 + Nvidia GT 120?
I had seen a comparation between Nvidia Cards whit Cuda (Quadro 4800 and GTX 285) and Nvidia 285 GTX not this far from the Quadro 4800 FX.

I believe Peter Chamberlain wrote about this. Both the GTX285 and Quadro can deliver the speed and performance needed. But the Quadro can stay longer in the game with more nodes and still play real-time, due to more RAM.
If price is an issue, I’d try to get the GTX285 asap before they’re nowhere to find.

It is a question of the money and performance relationship in both cards.
Quadro it´s very expensive compared whit GTX and I don´t know if the different money is real and a big step foward when you start to edit in the MacPro.
There aren´t new Nvidia Quadro/GTX models supported?
Some rumor about future models run whit DaVinci?
Thanks!

No new cards are coming out from NVidia officially anytime soon. That however, can always change. However, since the Mac Pros already have 2 prosumer level ATI cards in the lineup, the only new hardware I see coming from NVidia is a new top of the line quadro (with its price tag)
If I remember what Peter wrote, the 285 can actually deliver a few more nodes due to more CUDA cores over the 4800, but the 4800 has a much lower power requirement along with having more RAM which helps with other things.
I would say right now if you can find the 285 anywhere, get it. It sounds like it offers a better dollar value if you’re strapped for cash.

Holy moly you’re a lucky man Ola. Maybe I’m doing something wrong then? Granted I haven’t used my 8800 in a while so maybe I just forgot, but the 285 is definitely stepping up the noise.
You’re running yours in an early 2008 model mac right?

Thanks. I´m try get GXT 285 first.

It will be interesting to see if anything comes of the FX4000, which might be arriving in 4-6 weeks.
