Hi there,
back to benchmarking I say !
I refined the project so it contains predefined versions to test and play around with. Again, import the project, relink the clip from the installer and you should be good to go. Change the version number in pause mode, press play and watch the performance.
Version 1-4 contain grading nodes with soft windows and blur/sharpening.
Version 5-8 do only noise reduction on levels 4-1.
Here is the link : https://www.yousendit.com/download/MFo1Z284ckkwMEd4dnc9PQ
Valid until 17th of July
Here are my results :
V1 2 nodes : 24 fps
V2 4 nodes : 24 fps
V3 6 nodes : 17 fps
V4 12 nodes : 9 fps
V5 NR 4 : 24 fps
V6 NR 4 : 14 fps
V7 NR 4 : 7 fps
V8 NR 4 : 2 fps

I pretty much have the exact same system, and those are pretty much the results I get.
The big thing just seems to be the amount of CUDA cores. Which frustrates me because...
Gtx285 - 240 cuda cores - ~400 bux
Quadro 4000 - 256 cuda - ~850 bux
Gtx 590 (not compatible with macs) 1024 Cuda cores - 700 bux
Not that I'm bitter.
Seriously though, it's sad that hackintoshes are the cheapest way to get the best performance. But with my recent positive experiences with windows 7 and cs5.5... I'm starting to hope for windows version of resolve...

The question is, how many cores per card are supported by Resolve and by OSX.
I am hoping for some Hackintosh friends and patched 460 cards to share results too.
I have a suspicion its not only cores that matter.

Now thats impressing I say.
So in other other words, its like 4 times as the standard configuration.

I have a macpro 12 cores too, but I prefer to use this config because the performance is a lot better than macpro... some headaches in the installation, but when all is working ok, its like a macpro.
I recommend a room for the computer if you always use NR, because the graphics card are noisier and hotter.

That looks like my future configuration then.
Your patched 470 performs like a Dual 4000 Cubix it seems, well done :)

I'm pretty disappointed in the Quadro 4000 especially for the price. I am tempted to get two GTX470s for the Cubix and see what happens.

A note of caution on the 470 cards in a single gfx card system -
Most of the time, it works fine. However it is running the UI and cuda from the same memory, which in some instances gets filled up. Then you get crashes or a crashed render.
Best case is to still run a dedicated UI card.

Very interesting, that looks like a Dual Quadro 4000 extender performance to me.
Cant wait to get my 470 :)
Also very interesting is the 6-GB-only information.
It seems its all about the cores.

Dude, we hated you already after the first post ;)
Seriously, that's what I call a performance system.
The Noise performance values are even more impressing I think.
Apple really has to shape up, goddammit..

thanks Sascha,
yes i have 2 mac pro 2x2.26 , but this hack is a very super.
for me only difference is a slot pcie, hack have 7 and mac pro have 4 ..
i hope the next Mac pro have more pcie....
ciao

And here the results for a single card Quadro 4000 setup :
V1 2 nodes : 23 fps
V2 4 nodes : 14 fps
V3 6 nodes : 10 fps
V4 12 nodes : 5 fps
V5 NR 4/30 : 15 fps
V6 NR 3/30 : 10 fps
V7 NR 2/30 : 5 fps
V8 NR 1/30 : 1 fps
I think that answers the question if a single Quadro 4000 is usable , or not :)

And here are results from a Dual Cubix powered Quadro 4000 system with GT120 as UI.
V1 2 nodes : 23 fps
V2 4 nodes : 24 fps
V3 6 nodes : 24 fps
V4 12 nodes: 12 fps
V5 NR 4/30 : 24 fps
V6 NR 3/30 : 24 fps
V7 NR 2/30 : 12 fps
V8 NR 1/30 : 4 fps
Thats good to work with I think, but its also just 5% faster than Blase's GTX 470 tests it seems.
For 10 times the money...uhhhh...

[Sascha Haber] "And here are results from a Dual Cubix powered Quadro 4000 system with GT120 as UI."
Is that a desktop 4 Cubix? Those scores are a little better than my setup with the same cards in a desktop 2.

Guys, please check with DaVinci when comparing various configurations, including comparisons between GPU-xpander Desktop 2 and Desktop 4 systems. There are data transfer speed differences between these two products which may affect performance when working with Resolve 8 in multi-GPU configurations.

Yes, it was a Cubix Desktop 4 with two Quadro 4000s and a Rocket which was not active at this time.
So far all benchmarks show its all about CUDA cores.
It would be interesting to see multiple high power cards in external chassis systems now.
And I wonder if we would see a 5xx card for the Mac.
A lot of people feel left out those days.
I am not fan of the Hackintosh, but my clients seem to like the noise reduction and that basically eats up the performance available without even touching the rest of the tools.

The performance in a Desktop 4 should be better than Desktop 2 as you get full x16 link to the GPUs.
For new purchases, we recommend the Desktop 4 for this reason and the fact that it allows you to use double-wide GPUs without losing any slots.

Are there 2 of these threads? I think I posted in the wrong one. These are my results with the test project from THIS thread;
After setting the playback speed to 100fps to get a better overview for the lower nodes;
"2 nodes" - 61fps
"4 nodes" - 40fps
"6 nodes" - 29fps
"12 nodes" - 16fps
"NR4" - 48fps
"NR3" - 32fps
"NR2" - 16fps
"NR1" - 5fps
This is on a Hackintosh with Nvidia GTX (OC) 480 for GUI, GTX 285 for GUI, Decklink HD Extreme 3D, i7@3.8GHz on X58 mobo with 6GB RAM and reading media from a 4 drive RAID0 that has 540MB/s I/O.
With this test I get 24 fps with 7 nodes which I am more than happy with, anything over 7 nodes and I'll use the render caching.
Can't wait to see single GTX 580 results if anyone gets that working!
Future system will be Dual-GPU (hopefully dual 580 on LGA2011 board).
All we need now is better processing for cheap real-time half-red RED debayering! I'm getting a 6-core soon and hoping to go to 4.2 GHz which might get me close! Will keep you guys posted.
p.s. LOVING 8.01 (-:

EDIT: It's probably worth mentioning that I have 2 displays (both 1920x1200 24"), and I had Parade and Vectorscope waveforms displayed on one and the rest of the GUI on the other. The RAID was also in use during the test (files being copied over onto it), but I doubt that effected performance.
I can't seem to get any more performance with 'real time' proxies' either, but I guess that is only for I/O bottlenecks not processing ones? At the moment I cache anything I can't playback in realtime. Is that the best practice or is there a better way!?

Hi everybody,
how do you flash gtx285 at 5gts on an hack....
also looking for a link to help me to configure 2 GPU working for resolve.
I'm quite surprise to see that gtx285 and 470 working togheter!

any chance we could get our hands on those files?
We've got 3 quadro 4000 running as gpu and we would really like to compare that setup to those mentioned here.
