Hi, the Quadro cards perform a variety of functions in Resolve inc on screen cursors whereas the image processing is pure CUDA so the gtx series is suitable for that roll.
Yes you can use just the q4000, but you Will have very limited performance. You can with v9 switch the ui to a full screen view but Resolve is designed for concurrent grade monitoring via a separate BMD video card, not from the ui card.

What GPU do u have for the UI?
Is your monitor plugged into that GPU?
Can u confirm u have the 285 in slot 1 and the UI GPU in slot 2?
Which slot is your DeckLink card?Peter

April 1, 2012 at 1:00 pm in reply to: Resolve Feature Requests (The “Too-Late-for-NAB” edition)Thank you for the extensive and clearly detailed list. We appreciate your support and will continue to add to Resolves many features based on all the feedback we receive. I hope to see you all at NAB.
Thanks again.

Hi, Resolve does use the ATI card that comes with the new MacPro, for UI. You should add a image processing GPU for realtime HD performance.
To the original post, the iMac is realtime with 720p but does not have a CUDA GPU so performance is not as high as our MacPro configs and also the iMac config can not provide noise reduction.
If its in your budget, go the Pro.

While it’s best to match GPUs Resolve should work with mismatched GPUs at the slowest of the GPUs in the group.

August 9, 2011 at 7:39 am in reply to: Physical panel and adding new software features?We implemented the Resolve control surface menus and controls for curves grading, RGB mixer, NR, RED and ARRI source settings and a number of new shortcuts into the Resolve 8 release and so the panel will automatically have these new features when Resolve 8 runs.

August 3, 2011 at 2:06 pm in reply to: problem with importing a project from resolve(linux) 8.0.1 to mac 8.0.1(mac)Hi, assuming you do have the exact same version, you can try to isolate your problem a little with a few tests as this should work. Try importing the project back into the Linux and verify the import. On the Mac, export a project and check that imports back into the mac. Test the mac to the Linux. If these tests don’t help guide you to a successful result contact davincihelp@Blackmagic-design.com with your project and the support guys can check for you.

Hi, the real question is, will a second q4000 give me twice the render speed I’m expecting? Certainly If you have one Q4000 that’s used to process images a second should double the speed….. Except there are many aspects to the speed question. While two Q4000 will process the finance in resolve at twice the speed than one, can you disks, disk raid controller, motherboard I/O and CPU’s keep up?
My guess, just a guess as I don’t know your disk speed or CPU utilization, the second GPU card will increase the render performance but some other aspect within the data chain will limit improvement so you might not get 50fps.
We have customers who do render at over 100 fps, but their systems are specifically configured to do that.
