right click on the project with the lock and select unlock.

These are the only grabs I have left of my previous system. Wish I had one of the Source settings tab…
This timeline is Red R3D files in 4KHD running in the 1080p timeline. -
I don’t own that Mac pro anymore and I’m still looking for the screen grabs from that setup.
What version of Resolve are you running? If your only using Lite I’m not sure if the second card gt120 is being used.
-
Hmm.
That’s interesting since the only time I didn’t get real time playback was with noise reduction or over 4-5 nodes…
How did the cards perform in cuda-z? My original post has my results of each card. They should match if they are working correctly.
-
Cuda-z. That is it. It’s possible I was running it at 4x. I’d have to find my screen grabs from my old system to check (im still looking).
Also, what is your source settings for the Red Project?

Hello,
From what I understand in order for Resolve to function properly in real time the 285 must be running 16x and the 120 in at least 8x. You must also make sure that you are only using the 120 for playback/gui. The 285 must be left alone an not used for output or monitoring.As for the app I cant quite remember but if you email Dave he will email it to you.
I have since bought a 4,1 8 core Mac Pro and am running Daves GTX470 and a gt120 and am getting far better results. I was able to get real time on my 2,1 mac pro with those cards but I was running them in 16x and 8x. I have some screen grabs of 4k footage running in resolve real time from my old system if you’d like to see. I wish I could help more but im not much of a techie.
Also, just to confirm your using Resolve 8 correct?
My 2,1 specs were:
2x quad 3.0ghz processors
16gigs ram
osx lion
gtx285
gt120- monitoring
Resolve 8 -
I was just using those two cards and the esata card which could run in a 1x slot. No output card.
I’m not sure why your running slower than realtime as I always got real time playback. Where did you get your GTX and have you tested to make sure it’s running correctly? As long as your not doing noise reduction you should get real time if your drives are fast enough. I’m not a techie so I’m not much help. All I know is my setup worked.

Hey!
First make sure Resolve is set for a 1080p timeline and then set to 1/2 good resolution. Resolve can also only go as fast as the drives will allow…
The gtx285 must be running 16x, the 120 at 8x…I put 285 in bottom double wide slot and then the 120 in the next slot. I was just using the internal drives for playback as well as external drives through esata and always got real time playback in a 1080p timeline.Hope this helps.

Hi Paul,
I too panicked at the realization that my tower i spent $5,000 on was now basically obsolete. Dave wrote an EFI32 Rom for the GT120 and the whole setup worked without issue from the start. I didnt need real time rendering from my machine but real time playback while coloring was essential. Dave warned me there was a possibility it wouldnt work, but i would rather spend $400 for cards that i could always resell and recoup my money than buy a new $5,000 tower which at the moment i cant afford.
Needless to say i gave it a try and had no hickups. The reason i posted this was for others in my similar situation and to confirm the setup will work. Would i like a new mac pro? Of course. But for now this works just fine for my needs.
Best of luck!
