DAVINCI RESOLVE and ***HACKINTOSH***

[DaveZ.Williams]

I am sorry: I have three 470s, not 460s. I can't change the case because I am only allowed to use the machine as is because it will also serve double duty to run Windows for CUDA programming using a mobile rack for the system drive (one drive for Windows, another drive for me to use Mac OS).

If you have some time in the coming weeks for a custom configuration, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Luigi,

I wanted to update to Lion using your Machete installer, but saw in the description that I have to have my Areca in slot 4 and the Blackmagic 3D+ ind slot 2. Unfortunatly, my Areca is in slot 6 and the Blackmagic 3D+ in slot 4. Since I connected my GPUs (in slot 3 5 7) with a watercooling bridge, I can't change the slots of the other cards without removing the GPUs. Do I have to modify your installer in any way to use it with my setup?

Thanks
David

Could you perhaps try this little benchmark?

The yousendit link doesn't work, but email the guy to get the file.

Also any status on the GTX 570?

I've had a go at trying to get the 570 working on a system here. However OpenCL works, CUDA works, but the "video player" inside davinci doesn't work. Adobe Premiere CS 5.5 has the same issue in fact.

Ciao Jimmy
this is my result:

V1 2 nodes : 24 fps
V2 4 nodes : 24 fps
V3 6 nodes : 24 fps
V4 12 nodes :24 fps
V4-x2 24 nodes: 17 fps
V5 NR 4 : 24 fps
V6 NR 4 : 24 fps
V7 NR 4 : 24 fps
V8 NR 4 : 12 fps


You have a ASUS p6T7 Supercomputer?
strange because it works for me,
maybe you have another motherboard?

thanks

Wow, impressive numbers :)

I have ordered one.
However my theory is that it's mainly because I use the GTX 570 as main display card aswell.

Public photos of a hack for Davinci RESOLVE in Russia. I managed to run two NVIDIA 4000, with some initial difficulty APM power management, not easy in remote desktop to patch dsdt ,but then everything went wonderfully well;)
ALEXANDER Thanks you for your patience.
Really great performance.
