Have you considered using two machines?
An iMac can do 60fps.. -
where is this info from?
They wouldn’t sell any Red Rockets if this would be true -
+1, would be great!

why not copy it, and then turn off the power window?

So.. Supermicro will get our money.
Just think of the expenses…thunderbolt expansion chassis for adding HDDs, or buying a Promise Pegasus.
Thunderbolt expansion chassis for PCI cards like a RAID controller, a firewire card, a 10GigE card, etc.
Thunderbolt expansion chassis for GPUs, because the onboard AMDs won’t get you anything like a Titan for example.All they were supposed to do, is upgrade to USB3, add 4 Thunderbolt ports, get the New Xeons, increase the number of SATA, and PCI ports, and increase the PSU performance, and that’s all.
Instead of this, future mac pro users will have to buy 2-3 Thunderbolt expansions chassis just to get where the 2011 Mac Pro was.Argh…

no, sorry.

so you might be better off converting them to DNxHD or Prores:)
(also check that if you convert them, preserve super-white levels) -
If you have problems with a specific codec, you might have a problem elsewhere, no need for changin the GPU.
GPU is responsible for grading. So if you can playback a footage without any correction real-time but as soon as you use 3-4 nodes you lose real-time, GPU will be the problem, definitely.But, there are codecs (for example C100 AVCHD, C300 MPEG2) which are very hard to decode.
For these, you need a faster CPU (I see you’re using an i5 in your machine. I have two four-core Xeons in a Mac Pro, but still these formats make them sweat.
So you could check your CPU usage during playback..One clue also is if the thumbnails for the clips load sloooowly.

AFAIK m2ts isn’t supported inside Resolve.
You can rewrap your m2ts files to MOV without converting.
If you’re on Mac, try ClipWrap, worked for me (although avchd is a nasty codec to work with…) -
What if you download this video, export stills from it, and bring them as a reference into Davinci?
I’m sure that you will be able to match it, if not, check the vectorscope/waveform/parade.
