I’m very happy with my flashed GTX285 + gt120 if you’re budget conscious.
The gtx285 actually has more cuda cores, for less money.

Can you estimate the performance gap with Open CL v. Cuda?
I imagine that at a certain point the faster more capable ati cards we have available on mac will outclass our gtx285’s, even if they’re not CUDA enabled.

Would love to know the performance gap between CUDA and OpenCL. I bet at the moment CUDA kills it and that my GTX285 will have still been worth it compared to the ATI monster card sitting in a static bag.
I’m really excited about the Noise Reduction stuff and the XML support, I have to say I did sometimes miss the hue curves from color, just because it just took me a bit each time I wanted to replicate it with a qualifier.
I’m a little apprehensive about DaVinci Lite, especially in the short term, but I think that in the long run it’s a good thing. Personally the amount of people I’ve heard of doing their color corrects in FCP has actually grown since color has come out.
I think with this development we colorists have a big job to do to really educate the up-and-coming clientele with what you can really do with a proper color correct. We have to sell our craft and not our tech. Since the beginning of Blackmagic-Design, they have been slashing the equipment costs of high-end work, and I think it will be a good thing overall, since there are fewer and fewer things I have to say no to clients about.
It’s our jobs as colorists to sell ourselves, and not hide behind our consoles.

Shockingly, Zero crashes after a month of solid use. Almost wasn’t gonna post this, feel like I’m minding myself.
Gt20 + gtx 285. & decklink 3d.
Only wierd thing is if my USB dongle is plugged in at boot, resolve won’t start. I have boot without the dongle plugged in.

You can use color without a panel,
You can’t actually grade in resolve without at color panel.
However, grading without a panel is like trying to edit while using a mouse and no keyboard. Sooooo slow.

If apple didn’t make video drivers for your specific card, you’re outta luck

Good to know.
I’ve gotten the video freezing in the middle of a long render, but the render has always gone through, and resolve has woken up just fine from it.
I’m on a decklink 3d if that matters…
(haha, I just realized why you typed deckling, you’re on an iOS device)

Huh… Just thinking if there was a way to “source render” with handles from an EDL, in a way that would work with FCP, that would be amazing.
Currently If i get the EDL with a drive that has all the red media, if I want to reconnect in FCP to media managed project after a a render, I have to render the entirety of every single shot referenced in the EDL or just do a target render (or a combination of the two). In hires premium without a red rocket the former isn’t really realistic.

An Additional question to this,
Where the hell does Resolve keep the database files?
I’d like to simply add it to things to backup…
