I just copied everything out of the sequence into a new sequence with the same settings and I can suddenly right click on everything again!? I’m wondering if it has to do with the xml import from FCP? Hmmmm

One GTX 680 4GB card for GUI and 2 GTX 680 4GB cards for GPUs.

I’m running 3 GTX 680s with 4 GB of RAM each and the fastest dual Xeons in existence at the moment, dual E5-2687Ws with 32 cores. All three GPUs are running at full x16 as well. Way more than enough power. Maybe it’s an issue with the windows version of Resolve 9? Could it have something to do with running the scopes on the second monitor? I have yet to install a OS X boot drive but I can try that sometime as well.

Never mind! Did a restart, deleted the old user from Lite and made a new one. Now it sees all three cards.

Anyone? It’s the loudest fan in my workstation and very annoying. Tempted to rip it off and put an after market passive heatsink on…but don’t want to burn out the card.

Hey Alex. What are your thoughts on the ATTO ExpressSAS R608? I’m thinking of returning this Areca 1882i PCIE 3.0 and going with the ATTO card. This areca card has only been finiky and now the fan on it makes a fairly high pitch whine that is extremely distracting. Am I going to lose any performance switching over to this card? I’m currently getting 880MBs Writes and 787MBs Reads with 8 1TB WD 7200rpm 6Gb SATA drives. I’m on the fence. But the idea of a card with no fan intrigues me. As long as my system fans don’t go crazy when the ATTO card is in like my Mac Pro does with it’s ATTO R380.

Thx Alex. Glad to know I’m not alone and it’s possibly not other hardware issues. I’m running 8 6gb drives in RAID 5. I have noticed that the slow and sporadic reads are only shown in the AJA tool and Blackmnagic tools. The AJA tool shows huge variances of 3,000MBs on one frame and then 474MBs the next and right back to 3,000MBs the next. If you use HDTune or ATTO it shows much better and constant reads and only shows the slow couple second ramp up of the read speed. In HDTune with a 16GB file test it shows a fairly consistent Write of 882MBs and Read of 789MBs with that slow couple second ramp up below 500MBs at the top. Beginning to wonder if these new PCIE 3.0 cards are pushing a ton of bandwidth and are somehow not fully compatible with AJA and Blackmagics tools. I was able to playback 127 layers of 4.5K R3Ds with effects, transitions, and transfer modes in Premiere without batting an eye. Also tried uncompressed 4.5K and was able to do up to 10 layers before I gave up pushing it. I will try RAID 0 today. Keep me posted if you hear anything from Areca.

I’m am getting the same thing on a version 3.0 1882i internal 8 drive raid with 6gbs drives. Slow ramp up of speed initially and then the reads do not seem to be where they should be…about the same as what you are getting. I have not tried a RAID 0 yet though…will give that a try. Glad to know I’m not the only one with this strange issue. Keep us posted.

Would love to hear any updates on this issue. I have a new 1882i PCIE3 on a PC. In a RAID 5 config with currently 7 WD Black Caviar 1TB 7200rpm SATA 6Gb drives (waiting an RMA on the 8th drive) attached to the card internally. I’m getting great write speeds but sporadic read speeds. The writes usually hover around 800-1000MB’s but the reads are strange….they have a slow ramp up to speed in multiple stages over a few seconds….then at speed I get readings of 650MBs or 400MBs average depending on what benchmark is used. If you look at the details its’ wildly all over the place, 2000,MBs to 3000MBs on one read then the very next reading is 140MBs or 450MBs. Sometimes dropping under the 100MBs mark. Every reading is this way ping ponging to thousands of MBs and then low hundreds every other read. Not consistant at all. Tried every setting and am at a loss. Each drive passed the WD extended Surface scan and is on the same firmware. Any help or suggestions would be great.
