I have a Mac-Pro 2,1 8 core and I have resolve running on it right now. It is not the fastest but works. I have a GTX285 and a 7300GT the 285 is in slot 1 and the 7300GT in slot 3 with a Decklink HD in slot 2 and a Rocket Raid card in slot 4. The GUI card has to be in Slot 3 BTW.
How?
There is a modified Kext file (ATY Init.kext) which is installed using Kext Helper @ (https://cheetha.net/) before installing the GTX285 card. Once installed the MacPro 2,1 will boot fine and recognize the GTX and then you can install Resolve.
The machine is not super fast so no client “hero” sessions but it runs fine. I plan on replacing the 2,1 but for the moment it is ok.

email me if you cannot find the Kext file and I can email it or put it on a ftp.

We are currently in the process of a preservation project for a deceased US senator the media being “preserved” includes Film (16mm and 35mm) and video such as VHS Beta TypeC etc.
Upon review of the options with the library and research into archivist papers DVD-R was ruled out very strongly as real world testing showed even the best media deteriorated sharply at or before the 10year mark and many much earlier.
Direct to disk was considered but continuous maintenance and lack of reliable spin up after extended off periods ruled it out.
The video collection is being put to 2 simultaneous DvCam tapes with one in storage at a cold mountain facility and the other in the library for access. We projected a re visitation of the new tapes in 20 years with trepidation that they would be readable and we are placing a DvCam deck in storage as well in case there are not any anymore.
The film got duplicates and in a few cases a 3 strip separation the color prints are fairly well assured for 100+yrs and the seperations (3 B+W films one for each color) are projected to be viable for a millenia and are on the archivists short list of “permanent”
That’s a professionals look at a archival job.
I would transfer all of your family material onto 2 dv tapes each and keep the two copies in separate places.
D5 is a top end HD tape format which is 1080i or 1080p by 1920 with 4:2:2 color and low compression (2.5:1 or so) a deck is $70k or so 😉
