Hi Jenni,
Just in case you are waiting for help, you will likely get a quick response from the After Effects section of the forums. This is a lesser trafficked new forum for Adobe’s new/unreleased collaborative editing platform.

Anyone know anything more than what the coming soon page says, or have some hands on reports? I was at NAB and missed OWC.
This looks like a pretty good deal if it actually works well and comes out soon.
After doing a little research, it looks like the press release was on Jan. 9th. It would be nice to have an idea when the release date is at this point. I couldn’t find a news source that did more than copy/paste the press release and coming soon page from OWC.
Cheers.

I’m guessing he meant he picked up the “base” version of the card from newegg.com, which looks to be 1.5gb of ram for around $380 at time of writing.
On https://www.newegg.com enter “GTX 580” for your search.
If anyone here is a little confused, there are lower ram versions of these cards, and versions closer to 3gb available as well. I think it is an important thing to note, and I think the extra ram is worth it.

I’m the guy that picked up a 570 the other day from David. Until our cubix comes in along with a few other things, this is running very nicely in a 2008 3,1 Mac Pro. I’ll be replacing the tower itself soon, but until then it has a few additions you would expect: decent amount of RAM, an SSD, RAID array, etc. I was on my way to pick up a 570 from the store before a Reduser post led me here, then to David, who was extremely helpful given my busy schedule.
The EFI, monitor capability, and general ease of installation make a ton of sense for anyone quickly upgrading a few machines in a post house. I had zero problems. Before I continue, I just want to say that this card works incredibly well with CS5.5 (and photoshop cs6 beta). I have a boatload of 4k and 5k footage. Quite a bit of that footage is high-frame rate including a fair amount with HDR. I’ll try not to veer off topic here, but fashion video and still work with loads of effects and grading has been handled quite well.
We all know that there are better/faster options available, and I will be one of those making some modest additions to speed up my .r3d workflow. However, for a lot of people the 570 is certainly the “sweet spot” David is suggesting. Yes, I could use some super horsepower for tackling 5k HDR, but the system as it stands now “works” in tremendous part due to the card. The addition of the card makes a ton of sense as an affordable addition worth considering before other additions, then iterating upon as you need to.
I’ll be doing some heavy lifting tomorrow in Resolve, and will update with system specs, numbers, etc.
Blows my mind how affordable running a resolve system has become in such a short period of time. Cool time to be making moving images.
Cheers guys.
