isn’t the GUI card usually listed in System Overview, along with GPUs and Rockets? i’m currently on a single card system, so i can’t check.

Wait, you can run a 690 in a mac pro with stock power? I thought the TDP for a 680 was the limit?

Also, 9.1.3 shows my GT120 as the GUI in the system overview. Then the 570s are listed separate (as GPUs).

my resolve 9.1.3 system overview only shows GPUs (3 x GTX 680)
mac system report shows my radeon and 3 gtx though

Titan will work in 10.8.4

Mac OS X does already support 4 GPUS. But not 5. At least that’s how it used to be. Still looking into it.

Fascinating. So unlike prior version of Mac OS X, 10.8.3 OS is supporting more than 4 video cards. I’ve booted(with giant caveat) with 5, but 6 cause my system to kernel panic on boot.

Prior version had a software limitation which only allowed the OS to address 4 cards. It was once suggested to me that this was related to a hardware restriction, that efi boot only had enough memory to address 4 cards. It seems that software limitation has been lifted. However the hardware limit still seems to exists. At least it does in my 2010 MacPro.

So I’m able to boot with 5 cards, but the system is basically unusable this way, it works in fits and starts. Seems to be choking on everything I do. I’ll have to see if the 2012 version has addressed this in some way. Though regardless of whether it has or not this is good news for those using hackintosh, as they’ve never had the hardware restriction only an OS one.

John, are you actually using your box day-to-day with 4 cards? Do you find it stable? Seeing any crashes, kernel panics, freezes?

I use it everyday and have zero issues. EFI is an interesting tidbit as I am using non flashed PC cards, EVGA 4GB GTX 680’s. This is why I use the Radeon 7950 for GUI, that way I get boot screen. I only use the 4 GTX 680’s for CUDA. Performs way better than my Supermicro Maximus PC with Quadro K5000 and Tesla K20. I use it with After Effects and Premiere Pro as well.

John, are you on resolve 9.1.3? I’ve got three of the same cards in a cubix on a 2012 Mac Pro and am now very curious about adding a fourth. Would come in handy when ofx support is added…
