How is your ext drive formatted?

Well in that case it’s wise to select a good ui card as well. I’m not an expert in what cards work well with Avid, but I’m sure when you do a search here and there you’ll find some benchmarks and experiences.
About your first post; I don’t know too much about the gtx 680 or 690 and how well they perform. But people have been posting about that here as well. I just recently read an article that claimed that nvidia took out a lot of 3d horsepower from the GTX 680 compared to the GTX 580, so it seems like the GTX 580 is still a good allround choice. Plus it’s getting cheaper and cheaper since the 680, especially if you dare to buy from eBay. Lot of gamers selling them cause they want the latest, newest gtx. So that’s how I got mine for 185 GBP.

I recently build a windows based resolve system as well. I went for the gtx 580 as gpu and a gtx 560 Ti for UI, which works to my satisfaction. I also got a decklink sdi card and a firewire 800 card. I put everything in an Asus p9x79 deluxe motherboard, which is similar to the recommended pro version, but has also blue tooth and wifi build in.
But regarding the gtx options… It really depends on what you want to handle with the system. In my case it’s not gonna be higher than HD 1080 so that’s why I don’t have a red rocket card for example.
One consideration is your UI card. You can have something smaller than a gtx 580 for example, but that will also limit your performance in other applications than resolve, such as Abobe CS 6 or Avid, who tend to use the UI card for their processing and realtime capabilities. So that’s why I got a gtx 560 Ti for that.
If you want more advice here I think it’s good to add to your post what you want to do with the workstation.
Good luck!

Agreed, it should get a warning.
But how can someone start grading when ALL of his shots are linked? He could only do one grade maximum.
Anyway, I do agree that batch copy is more safe!

What grading work? I think he wrote that he couldn’t work that way. If all your shot get the same grade as the first one your doing, you can only loose one grade at max, so that’s why I gave that advice.

If so, right click the thumbnails and choose ‘batch unlink’.
Good luck!

Do you see little red squares in your thumbnails on the resolve timeline?

If it matters to you: I took the wave cause it has more buttons and dials with a led description, so that way you dont need to memorize 30 buttons to start working with it. Second, I like the usb connection instead of the lan connection. People keep running into problem with that and it doesn’t seem to be the case with usb. Plus its bus powered, so less cables. Last point, the transport wheel, I tend to love it, Im constantly using it, Artist Color doesn’t have one.

Hi Rohit,
You state here that the decklink card doesnt work with the recommended asus p9x79 pro motherboard, however I cannot find any info about this on the bmd site. Are you shure about this? I want to know cause Im really interested in buying the decklink for my resolve workstation and if I would a usb 3 device I cannot use it in another Mac system which would be a pitty.
Thanks

I recently doubled my ram from 16 to 32 gb and I found that especially cs6 benefits a lot from it! So that would be a wise choice.
For Davinci you gonna need an extra card that does the cuda processing. Please check out their config guide for various options. Besides the recommended cards you can also try a geforce card, such as the gtx 580, but it does involve some extra fiddling with powercables and a few edits in your mac system to make it work. Do a search on that here and you can read a lot of posts on the topic.
Good luck!
