Contact Dave at MacVidCards, he will make sure you get cards that work for the 2,1 specifically. My setup was the 1gb evga gtx285 and an evga gt120 512mb. He will walk you through which model will work and ship with the cards an installation disk with the required app as well as instructions to get your cards up an running. The 2,1 Mac has specific model of cards that it can accept so be safe and contact Dave, he’s the expert. Make sure you tell him it’s a 2,1 Mac pro.Best of luck.
As a side note to anyone reading this thread. I never said my machine renders footage real time, I was merely claiming real time playback with multiple node corrections. As for rendering I was getting anywhere between 3fps and 12fps depending on the render settings. I know this isn’t a blazing fast setup but for me and for some others it will do until we can afford to upgrade our Mac pro’s.

This is definitely not an ad. I know you from Refuser and I have no affiliation with macvodcards. I was just a customer when looking for video cards to run Resolve. I’m a 24 year old recent film school graduate with absolutely no hidden agenda. How can you make these claims with no proof whatsoever? I have included this evidence and system info to prove my statement.This is most definitely not an ad and I advise you to not make such claims without a shred of evidence to support this ridiculous elitist statement.
What else do you need for me to prove my statement, the setup is sitting in front of me. I have no reservations in proving my claim.

October 6, 2011 at 3:59 am in reply to: Resolve 8.0.1 + Mac Pro 4,1 + Red Rocket + GTX285>120 + OSX Lion 10.7.1 Problem!!I always kill background apps and processes before running Resolve. Yes I am working with 4k files in a 1920×1080 timeline at 1/2 good. I know the Red Rocket is fine because I am able to view Red Raw files in full resolution real time and transcoding in real time.
I never plug anything into the GPU or in this case the GTX285. Yes I do have a waveform and parade window open. I will try closing them and seeing what that does.Why isn’t the colored bar at the top green? What does red or no bar at all mean?

October 6, 2011 at 1:49 am in reply to: Resolve 8.0.1 + Mac Pro 4,1 + Red Rocket + GTX285>120 + OSX Lion 10.7.1 Problem!!Thanks Dwaine I appreciate the help. So I did a system restart and cleared all nodes from my red r3d’s in resolve and I get a solid 24fps playback. My only question is the red bar at the top next to the fps, shouldn’t that be green? I occasionally have it drop to 20fps with two or so nodes. This is using 1/2 res premium.
Thanks again -

I tested redcine and still able to view full res real time. Also my Davinci about screen only lists one GPU. Shouldn’t it read 2 with the RR? Dumb question i know

This helped get me up to 20fps on clips with no corrections applied but my clip that has three nodes, 2 of which are selective NR run at 1.5fps.I am also now getting a half bad image displayed in the viewer during playback. It looks corrupted (Blue blobs on top half of video).
