Could you re-post the test scene you were using for your benchmarking? I’m trying to get a since of the relative performance of GTX 690s, GTX 680s, GTX 680s with 4GBs, and GTX 580s before I build a new system. Thanks.

Do you need to register or buy a ticket to get into the AJA party or can you just show up with your badge?

Thanks for the info Jonathon. That has been my thoughts as well. Been looking at HP workstations and hand built ones. Windows, even with the new driver, is still far more flexible from a hardware standpoint. But like you I love OS X so much it’s hard to make the leap. Also I plan to keep my old Mac Pro as a secondary workstation….so workflow sharing off the same RAID between Win and OS X might get sticky sadly.

I just have some large projects coming up and would love to get off Apple Color. However grading a RED project at 4K today with Color and previewing out at 1080P with a Kona 3….I’m getting about 11 fps. Not bad for this old Mac and working off the R3Ds! Of course I have a officially unsupported newer video card in it, an SSD for a boot drive, and a 650MBs RAID 5. About as far as I can push this Dinosaur of a workstation.

Thx Robert. Yeah that is my main concern. Last year at NAB chatting with the Cubix guys they said the PCIe V1.0 was there main concern. It would run but how well. And I fear exactly what you mentioned with the video card compatibility. All in all I don’t think it’s worth attempting at this point. Gonna just wait it out probably another 4 months and see if Apple does anything with the Mac Pro. Thanks guys.

Thanks for the input Joseph. As far as Lion is concerned I checked and it is compatible and will run, however I am left out in the cold with Mountain Lion sadly. It wouldn’t be a problem to run the GUI card in slot one and the Cubix on another slot. But in that config the Cubix would have to run at 8x. According to Cubix it can run at 8x fine. I’m just curious if that would have an impact in Resolve. Really this is just a hold me over patch until I see what the new Mac Pro looks like later this year and whether or not I will go Mac Pro, Hackintosh, or PC for my DaVinci Rig.

Sadly after all the research and talking with Atto there was never a fix for me. Just dealing with a much louder system. In the winter it did settle down a bit more due to the temp change. Sorry.

Is there any updates with this ATTO R380 card and the system fan issues? I tried the above “fix” and it did not solve the problem. It only takes the fans longer to get to a higher rpm. I have the latest ATTO drivers, flashed firmware, and have even tried SMC fan control to no avail. Any thoughts or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Figure of speech…your exactly right about the realtime playback. The Resolve is dependent on CUDA processing of Nvidia based GPUs.

Rumor has it you will need another dedicated video card for the processing of the DaVinci Resolve on top of that layout. Can’t just use the same video card that runs your monitors. So yes card space is very very limited.
