Yeah, my though was a dual Quadro 4000 setup.
Slot 1 – Quadro 4000 #1 for 2 displays and general use / acceleration
Slot 2 – Quadro 4000 #2 for dedicated CUDA processing (asaik only DaVinci uses this atm)
Slot 3 – Video i/o
Slot 4 – Storage i/oI guess slot 4 could be exchanged for a RED Rocket or a PCI-e expansion card as well.

It would of course be very nice with a 4xx or 5xx GeForce option on the Mac as well. Not sure why they haven’t jumped on that wagon.

This should make sense for apps that can’t utilize the dedicated CUDA GPU. nVidia’s GeForce 120 is quite a weak card for anything but 2D-graphics. Applications that are OpenGL based (Motion, Color, Photoshop and so forth) should benefit greatly from having a Quadro 4000 as the main GPU board. Also other CUDA apps like CS5, Nuke and so forth I’m not sure they can use a secondary card as their processing board like one does in DaVinci.
Would be nice to get a proper answer though cause I’m wondering the same.
It’s is supported in the MacPro hardware to use two Quadro 4000 according to nVidia’s press-release at least. 2200 dollars isn’t that crazy for the hardware we’re talking about. Not sure heat or power consumption would become an issue with this setup as well as a video-card and a i/o board (or extension board).

That’s exactly what we did as well which worked wonderful.

Just a note regarding sharing projects in Final Cut Pro. As I did before and as I presume things still work is any amount of people can have a single project file open, however any amount of people could also save the document and thus the last person who saved it will affect every other user that access that file. This can be used to you advantage but you also have to understand that two people can’t work in the same project at the same time and both also SAVE their work, hence you need to split your project into separate files at some point if that makes sense.

Just think out loud here but with 3D aren’t you basically playing 2 streams at the same time, i.e. this should virtually be a remodeling of the 3D-output? Sounds like a brilliant feature being able to play 2 versions side-by-side.
– Comparing grades
– Comparing graded version to un-graded version
– Comparing online version to offline version————————

Dang, it didn’t seem THAT far off at IBC. “We’re just finalizing our API for other developers”. I really hope BMD plays nice here given I get they want to increase hardware-sales… What BMD-card is similar to a Kona 3? Does anyone have experience with the two? Our Kona-cards have been rock-solid and are the last hardware I’d like to replace.
