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

Hey Matt,

This has been very useful.

Seems like I have the same specs as you.

The main difference seems to be in the placing of the Cards within the slots.

On my Mac 2,1, if I were to place the GTX285 in Slot 1, and the GT120 in Slot 2, the only option for the GTX set at 16x in slot 1, would be to run the GT120 at 1x. (looking at the Expansion Slot Utility).

Do you think you could have been running your GT120 at x1 speed?

If not, if I set SLot 1 to 16x, the only other 8x slot is in Slot 4. But that would not fit with your scenario of being in SLot 2.

My other thought is that I can set Slot 1 to 8x for the GTX285 and Slot 2 to 8x for the GT120.... but I don't know that that would be right....

Found the test software, it's called CUDA-Z
