Re: Mac Pro 2,1 Working incredible well with Resolve 8.0 GTX285,GT120 combo

Hi Alessandro,
Contact Dave at MacVidCards, he will make sure you get cards that work for the 2,1 specifically. My setup was the 1gb evga gtx285 and an evga gt120 512mb. He will walk you through which model will work and ship with the cards an installation disk with the required app as well as instructions to get your cards up an running. The 2,1 Mac has specific model of cards that it can accept so be safe and contact Dave, he's the expert. Make sure you tell him it's a 2,1 Mac pro.

Best of luck.

As a side note to anyone reading this thread. I never said my machine renders footage real time, I was merely claiming real time playback with multiple node corrections. As for rendering I was getting anywhere between 3fps and 12fps depending on the render settings. I know this isn't a blazing fast setup but for me and for some others it will do until we can afford to upgrade our Mac pro's.
