how is this working out for you on the 2008 macpro?

Good day Robert,

Happy to report it is working just fine with my preferred dpx workflow. No issues is hd. 2k is right on the edge however I don't think its the computer running out of steam. I think its the gpu. Planning to order the pcie expander next week and add a second gtx285. My goal is 2k stereo playback.

Darin,

What all would you buy if you were setting everything up from scratch right now for a future Resolve system with Red Rocket to work primarily on EPIC 5K R3D files and you wanted to keep it reasonably affordable.

Storage, control surface, monitors?

Advice appreciated.
