Why is the interface so dang sluggish??

Have any of the other people you’ve spoken with about this issue mentioned a dual boot scenario as a solution? Resolve on one partition, AVID on the other? Should work if it is drivers only but won’t if Resolve is messing with the firmware of the card like it use to.

No one on dual boot yet. That’s a good point about the firmware. Though I understand BMD loads fw on boot, so dual boot may fix even that!
Thought I think a dedicated system for Resolve is probably the best way to go.

I’ve just finished building a Resolve Symphony system on An HP Z800 and it seems to fly on both as far as I can see.
I’m not convinced that the 280 driver resolve needs is best for MC and that seems to cause some display update lag but nothing that’s an issue.
Too early to really tell as the box is mainly doing workflow testing so no real heavy lifing yet.
We’re somewhat held up after discovering the Decklink HD Extreme 3D card suffersa 1 frame offest when capturing in SD or HD and that’s some what limits our testing currently.Pat Horridge

I think the issue may be limited to the Mac version. Should have specified that. The one frame thing is a BMD issue from way back.

Ah Mac yes that could be more of an issue. Much more stable on the PC side and has been for many a year.
The 1 frame offset is a real pain. Makes the card pretty much useless for conforming unless frame accuracy isn’t an issue (yer right)
Can’t see it’s a hard fix.
I’m pursuing it on various fronts.
Luckily digital cut in both HD and SD is frame accurate unless you try and use and onboard processing.
Also the XLR analogue inputs can be selected but won’t input audio with any digital video source selected.
It’s shame because the card has a nice price point and I/O options but that’s no use if it doesn’t actually deliver.Pat Horridge

Just spoke with DaVinci support. As of Resolve 8.2, there is no separate driver install. If you install the regular desktop video drivers then install Resolve 8.2 it won’t overwrite the drivers. So if things are sluggish with all the latest versions of the BMD stuff, then it must be something else.
