What videocard buy for Davinci?

[Alexey Datsenko]

Advice please good card for Davinci.
I don't know what is so hard to find information what cards work with Davinci and what doesn't.
I see on BlackMagic site the next:

The following certified cards are listed in order of increasing power:
Quadro 4000, Quadro 5000, Quadro 6000, Tesla C2075 and GeForce GTX 580 3072 MB & GeForce GTX
680 4096MB.

But many tells GTX is better then Quadro.

I am going to buy Zotac GTX 680 4 Gb but I am not sure it works well with Davinci somebody tells that 580 3 Gb is the same well as 680 4 Gb, so in this case maybe better to take GTX 580.

So advice please what card will be good for Davinci?

Hi Alexey, the guide refers to the cards we have tested and certified. The Q4000 is the slowest of these and GTX580 and GTX680 are quite similar in performance and are the fastest. We don't specify particular brands as we only test a limited number of manufacturers. Make sure your supplier offers a replacement warranty and follow the guide for the model details.

I bought a Quadro 4000 and it turned out to be a complete waste of money. It seems to excel in one thing: raising the temperature inside the chassis and pushing out incredibly hot air. (Okay, two things.)

Thank you!
I think 680 will be good (1500 cuda cores and 4 Gb) even it is the same as 580 but only 100 dollars more expensive and more new and the next step after 580 which is out of production already.

I still haven't seen any proper tests proving that 680 is faster than 580 for Resolve/Premiere use. More CUDA cores does not automatically make it faster.

Hi. Are you talking of GTX580 and GTX680 as the fastest for the latest version of DaVinci?

Yes, I am thinking to buy GTX 580 3 Gb or GTX 680 4 Gb for Davinci Resolve (the price is almost the same)
