  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

DaVinci Resolve 7 for Mac now shipping

Are LUTs working correct in Resolve?
Can you make your own?
Can you choose wether to burn a lut (and have metering after LUT) or not (and have metering pre LUT)?

Cheers

Yes on all 3 questions.
WFM monitoring can be used with pre or post LUT.

Just put my order in last night. Only problem is I only have the GUI card so far. I am not willing to buy a GTX 285 or FX4800 when the FX4000 is right around the corner....

Then might as well wait to buy the Resolve. Without GTX or FX GPU it's pretty miserable, unless you just want to learn how to use it.
 
Wait.. just to learn? without cuda gpus?

This is what confuses me.. will Resolve boot up, so you can operate it, even if it is slow, without a cuda card?

(will it boot up and be operable with an ATI or other card, or will it only open with a cuda card?)

I think you need at least a nVidia GT 120 for the GUI. I bought one on ebay for $61. But the GUI card doesn't help with the realtime operations. Doesn't mean you can't work without realtime support and then just render for playback.
 
I'll wait and see some reports of the Quadro 4000 with Resolve before I buy. Already have the GTX285 anyway. Which brings up another good thing to know. The GTX285 actually performs better in Resolve and most CUDA apps than the Quadro FX4800. They're the same generation of GPU and very similar overall. The FX4800 has more onboard RAM, but the GTX285 is clocked faster.
 
Resolve with current hardware is AWESOME. It is just stupidly fast compared to everything else within an order of magnitude of its price range. I'm running on a GTX 285 and GT120 combo at the moment.

The thing is though: you get greedy. It's so much fun that you don't want to stop adding nodes :P

With Quadro 4000 you can have even more nodes. The thing is that Resolve is so addicting and powerful that anything that makes it run EVEN FASTER is an instant buy.

My completely objective 2c.

PS - The other thing is that in Resolve it's really simple to add nodes, copy them from shot to shot etc - so adding more nodes is not confusing. It just means you can compartmentalize different aspects of the CC process.

So do you expect the FX4000 to outperform the 285? By how much?

Evin

Believe me you'll want the new 4000 card when it comes next month .
It will be extremely faster then the gtx 285 which is the cards I am running now.

So is it even worth waiting for the FX4000? And with a Rocket is it even an issue for Red Footage?

Debayer is done with CPU, nodes rendering is GPU. So, Red Rocket has nothing to do with GPU. Getting more powerful GPU will allow for more real time nodes, that's all.
 
Evin, You will still need the GT120 in slot 3.

We are running a new 12 core with
GTX285 in 1
Rocket in 2
GT120 in 3
Decklink 3d in 4

Getting ready to put in some SSD's
Also waiting for 4000 in about a week I'm told
The GTX285's for Mac are sold out.
