Timo,
thanks for the insight, I am afraid you are right about the decklink card and the pci lanes. Do I understand correctly that by using the ultrastudio sdi usb3.0 device with a grading panel it will stress out my quadro 4000 a lot more? Was thinking of buying that first, as I think proper Monitoring is more mission critical than Real-time… at the moment i get 25fps on Alexa Footage (ProRes 4×4) with about 6 nodes.
Luckily I got an excellent deal on some proper Ram (64GB!!) a year ago.
Still speculating on that 8-core i7 from Intel, but that 3930k looks like a sweet option. About the GPU. looks like the 680 for Image Processing… but all these toys cost money… 😉
Thanks again
Cheers
