Dose Kona3 Work Well With Quadro Fx 5600?

[Esmaeil Neisi]

Any clue?

this combo doesnt really make so much sense imo,
the N´Vidia has no HDSDI OUT, and i would take the arriving ati 512 mb instead of 1,5 gb N`Vidia for a Mac. rest of the money i would spend for an Aja...

or leave osx, and move to pc with a nvidia quadro with hdsi out for 6000k
its just my opion

your right men but what if you want to use gpu base softwares like AE or 3d softwares like maya or max?

Yes there is not a lot of software that really use the GPU. Most of the 3D apps (maya, houdini, Max, XSi) but FCP is not GPU based, Shake either. Same for AE (some few effect are OpenGL now) Even most advanced sofware like Nuke, Toxik or Fusion are "GPU friendly". Motion is quite well GPU coded. So put 2700$ in quadro FX5600 on a mac, unless you are using iridias, want make a difference. It's too bad...

AE works in different modes - one being OpenGL based, which mainly makes sense when you do graphics in a 3d-environment. A lot of GPU-horsepower does make a huge difference there.
