Really, the GTX 680, Titan / Titan Black and soon to be Titan Z are the only consumer cards for 4K. My Titan Black kills it with F55 4K, no expansion chassis but booster power supply. Will be trying 2 Ti Black, one internal, one external in the near future and will report back.

Yes, but it looks like they are working on the cuda driver. Ti Black works fine (Web, Mail, Preview but NOT RESOLVE!) w/o cuda in my 5.1 cMP. This is a test setup and I would not plan on using it for paying work until the cuda driver is released and I bang on it for a while.
Will keep updating.

10.9.2 and nvidia driver b15. This gives you desktop and non-cuda functionality as of 27 Feb. 2014. Follow this thread: https://forum.netkas.org/index.php/topic,8369.0.html for details. Doubt anything below 10.9.2 will be supported for 110b cards, titan black, etc. Not easy but will be faster than the nMP for a lot less if you have cMP, 4.1 or 5.1.
I wish nvidia would realize the market they have with us, saw somewhere ti black is not for gamers and they know this but a crossover professional card. If I find a Mac product manager contact, I will post it and we can let him know we have cash and want to spend it. Peter, do you know who to talk to at nvidia? Looked at nMP and compared the render results and started going the upgrade route, still a year left on my 5.1 AppleCare, I would rather buy a card and save $6k or $7k.

I always balance (primaries and maybe some curves) as precisely as possible toward the look I am going for and then start any secondaries. Old habits from the telecine days, to keep the signal as noise free as possible, and we only had two nodes (telecine colorgrade and DaVinci colorgrade.) Still think it’s the best way. Occam’s razor applied to color grading!

Just got 10.9.2 to see my Titan Black in slot 1, no cuda yet. Wouldn’t recognize it in the expansion chassis though. Likely need to wait for nvidia.

I have a EVGA Black Classified ready to go but need 10.9.2. Glad I bought one as the initial stock was sold out in less than 24 hours.
No need for Frankenstein, get one of these, works great, save that Mac PSU and motherboard:
Has worked great for a year with a 480 Flashed and now a 680 Classified Un-flashed. Titan Black consumes 55 more watts than the 680 but the x5 supply is rated at 450 watts which should be enough head room.

If it’s pushing it just a little you may be able to qualify by using a parallel node out of the balanced image, maybe using a higher chroma setting to help with the separation. Once you get the parts qualified and looking like the client wants, then reduce the chroma to the point they want in a serial node.
Worth a try, thought maybe client wanted the shirt to be orange, don’t laugh, I’ve had it happen!
Might try some NR in the qualified sections to help blend it.
