Only 14fps since 10.6.5 and 7.0.3

[Manuel Wenger]

I just reinstalled my whole system (2x2,26 Quad Intel Xeon) with internal 6TB Raid 0, GTX 285 in Slot 1 wiht updated drivers, RedRocket ins Slot 2 with latest driver for Redcince B351 GT120 in Slot 3 and Deckling Extreme HD in Slot 4.

The only other things on the MacPro are CS5, FCP, and Storm.

Installed 7.0.3 but just getting 14fps playback without any node attached on r3d files as well as ProRes 4444 and 422. Even my MacBookPro is faster on ProRes 4444 playback with 18fps.
If i turn of video output in the preferences, it speeds up to 21 fps but still no realtime playback. The read/write speed of the Raid is 182 MB/sec according to BM Speedcheck.

Any ideas ?

thanks
Manuel

Swap Slot 2 and 3

Yes, the 120 in slot 2, 285 in slot 1, DeckLink in slot 3 and RED Rocket in slot 4.

If the 285 is used BlackMagic recommends for set up of the Mac Pro to have the 120 in slot 1 and move that card to slot 2 after configuration of your system.

thanks got it sorted. It´s not a GT120 its a 8800 i was using. Somehow this worked fine with 7.0.1 but no more with 7.0.2 and 7.0.3.
Hope to get the 120 delivered tomorrow and all should be fine. Meanwhile i connected the GUI display to the GTX285 and i´m getting realtime even there.

thanks for your suggestions
Manuel
