Over priced and underpowered (compared to GTX line). It has 10 bit output for display if you need that. I use a Kona 3 sending HD-SDI to an engineering monitor so I dont.

Google the specs and prices for the Quadro series then compare to the GTX models. I think you will understand my perspective on them better.

I understand Aaron. In my working with Element 3D I found I needed to learn Blender to prep models for using in E3D. I was so blown away by Blender 2.66 that I started learning all facets of it. I found that its can utilize the CUDA on my Nvidia GTX 570 card instead of CPUs. Which speed up display and rendering in the Cycles (photo realistic renderer) about 4X. So the GPU card can really make a dramatic difference in software use.

I would say now is as good as any. The Sandy Bridge dual Xeon platform was just released last summer so thats not going to change for a while.

And I would avoid the Quadro series of cards HP sells with them (get the cheapest Q2000) and swop in a GTX Titan for more power. And that was just released.

Do it thru the internet and you could get around 30% discount. Dont forget to get a good external raid if you will editing in an NLE as well as using AE.

Most video professionals will tell you that Avids DNxHD is a very good codec to use for mastering.Clean compression and reduced size make this an ideal codec to use. There is a PC version that is free to download.

Heck. I wouldnt be surprised in the referenced clip was built in AE.

Be forewarned. I know several editors that have tried the work arounds for the PC (FFMBC based). They did not have success in creating reliable Prores files.

Before I switched to the Z820 I had a 2008 Mac Pro / Quadro 4000 / 24GB ram and a Max Digital raid array. I could play back Red 4K clips just fine at 1/2 resolution (2K).

Of course the Z820 system has no probs either.

Wish I could be of more help.

Change your right screen (Program Monitor) to 1/2 resolution. See if that helps.
