big thumbs up to luigi ( can render now on 3 gfx480!!!!
cooling the cards is still a wild one over here - but it works
can use the cudas in paralell for rendering in octane renderer ( high speed )
please make gtx590 driver available - 3 cards and we go to the moon:)

I was wondering if it perhaps might be a better idea with using EFI strings?
It should be possible for the installer to detect the cards through ioreg and generate a EFI string on the fly. I could never get the DSDT file to work, but with the right EFI string everything (atleast the graphic cards) works perfect.

I might be able to whip up a quick python script for doing that...

Candle Test resuls with resolve8 and 3 gpu gtx480

V1 2 nodes : 24 fps
V2 4 nodes : 24 fps
V3 6 nodes : 24 fps
V4 12 nodes :24 fps
V4-x2 24 nodes: 21fps
V5 NR 4 : 24 fps
V6 NR 3 : 24 fps
V7 NR 2: 24 fps
V8 NR 1 : 12 fps

I remember you Kernel osx support max 4 GPU.
Next test Jose use NETSTOR whit MAC PRO and 4 gtx 480... waiting result.. this is possible solution for real MAC.

Sounds great!

I also decided to build a similar system, though it is almost impossible to find new GTX 470 cards; most I found are second hand and coming from intense gamers, probably from smoke filled rooms... :(
The issue is that one needs 3 identical cards for a working rig and if one fails, things will go pear shape big time, especially if in the middle of project, or client session.

@ Luigi,

I know you are very busy, but I am not clear if the new Machete v2 supports the new, readily available, GTX 570 cards.

Thank you,
Valeriu
