I’ve been using the Trial version of DaVinci Resolve 9 for benchmarking various GPUs for BareFeats.com. Since the Trial doesn’t support Noise Reduction or Slaved GPUs, I’m using a single GPU to benchmark playback the first four Blur presets. (I set playback FPS to 300 so it will attempt to exceed the 24 FPS target.)

Yeah I knew you would respond with that 🙂 just felt like doing it and posting numbers anyways.

[Neil Roberts]

Amazing scores Colin!! I don’t like to think how much it cost you to set that system up.
I’ve recently been working with Jigsaw24 in the UK and they have come up with some sweet upgrade packages for the Mac Pro.
