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

Hi Paul,

I too panicked at the realization that my tower i spent $5,000 on was now basically obsolete. Dave wrote an EFI32 Rom for the GT120 and the whole setup worked without issue from the start. I didnt need real time rendering from my machine but real time playback while coloring was essential. Dave warned me there was a possibility it wouldnt work, but i would rather spend $400 for cards that i could always resell and recoup my money than buy a new $5,000 tower which at the moment i cant afford.

Needless to say i gave it a try and had no hickups. The reason i posted this was for others in my similar situation and to confirm the setup will work. Would i like a new mac pro? Of course. But for now this works just fine for my needs.

Best of luck!
