Re: Adobe CS6, MacPro, and Nvidia Quadro 6000

Hi, I run MacVidCards.

The Quadro 6000 has been supported in the drivers since somewhere back in 10.6.

That said, only 4 GB shows up for CUDA, 2 GB in System Profiler, and OpenCL so far is only place all 6 GB show up.

I have heard that all 6 GBs will eventually show up everywhere but.....

We have GTX470s and GTX480s that work in 10.6.8 and we just added GTX570 and GTX580 for 10.7.3.

The GTX570 2.5 GB card is turning out to be a real powerhouse for Adobe apps. In the Resolve forum and at MacRumours forums there have been posts about how well that specific card works for CS6. Apparently they are supported from the get go, no hacks needed. One guy compared performance to his Quadro 4000. Didn't go well for the Quadro.

Our cards offer full boot screen support from first press of power button and can drive an Apple LED as well as a 30" via DVI. The 570 with 2.5 GB is going to be "the" card to have for the near future.

We have the Quadro 5000 and 6000 for Mac, and they are currently DisplayPort and DVI as well, though I could probably set them up to run 2 @ Apple Displays if there was interest.

But for most people, the GTX570 with 2.5GB is hard to beat.
