Hi,

I have installed on my 2010 Mac Pro:

Slot 1 ATI Radeon HD 5870
Slot 2 Nvidia Quadro 4000

How do I get Premiere 6 to work with my Quadro? I want to use the Mercury playback engine. I have just switched over from Final Cut 7.......

Should I change the Quadro into slot 1? Would this effect other programs like DaVinci Resolve?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you install the latest CUDA driver?

Currently running OSX 10.8 and Cuda driver version is 4.2.10 there is a new update 5.0.17 but it wont install. Trying to figure the problem.

[Kelly Chen] "Should I change the Quadro into slot 1? Would this effect other programs like DaVinci Resolve?"

that would enable it to work with premiere, but then DaVinci won't use it
for acceleration.


annoying yes, but the way it is unfortunately.

Bill,

You were right! New quadro drivers installed finally. Took 4 attempts. Now I can select mercury engine settings. Not sure Chris if I have to change over slots since I can select it, so win for Davinci and Premiere.

Hello,

recently in a magazine I read CS5.5 had been tested on a so-called 'Nvidia Maximus' system,
which is a Windows PC with a Quadro2000 + Tesla C2075.

Would be interesting to know if this means we could simply add CUDA-boards as we like,
and the more CUDA boards the better the Mercury performance will be (like in Resolve)?

Or is 'Maximus' a method making two specific boards appear as one CUDA-unit,
so no additional performance for us here on OSX?

Best regards,
Bernhard

How did you get the ATI Radeon 5870 to work with the Quadro 4000 in your Mac Pro 2010? Thanks

Hi Dustin,

Arty Black helped me with this one. He recommended to get a Y 6 pin splitter cable, like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/CB-6M-68F2-6-pin-PCI--Dual-Cable/dp/B005GWFZ8Y/ref=sr...

Works like a charm.

Kelly

Thanks so much! I don't know why that information was so hard to find! I'll grab one of these splitter cables then. Is there anything else I should know about hooking up this card and splitter before I go ripping into my machine?

Also, the link you sent me said that this cable is not available. Is there another you recommend? I just don't want to end up buying the wrong one. Thanks
