ATI 5770 and Quadro 4000 together?

[macneuro]

I am trying to marry an ATI 5770 in my Mac pro (10.6.8) with quadro 4000 for Mac (cuda driver 4.0.19). The quadro 4000 replaces the GT 120, which was working fine with 2 30’ displays and ATI 5770.

The problem is the Q4000 does not detect a display. If I put just one display attached to Q4000 and then turn on the machine, after boot up then plug 2nd display into the ati 5770 I get both displays.

Did it worked?

Hi, I just find myself in the same situation. I have a 5770 and just bought a Q4000 to run Smoke. Were you able to run both cards? Do you get any speed gain?

 

[macchiato2009]

it usually detects all installed hardware, but if you have 2 different video cards, both won't be used

only when you have 2 identical cards with SLI / crossfire, compatible with MP

Nonsense & dreck.

The current supported config for DaVinci Resolve is 5770 & Quadro 4000, so if they don't work together, somebody better tell BMD.

If you are running pre-lion software, you need the special Quadro drivers from Nvidia.

Lion contains drivers for it.

If that isn't issue, you need to list which monitors you are using and how you are connecting.

Well I have a LED cinema display 24" (mini display) and a Panasonic plasma 50" (dvi) as a Broadcast Monitor. Actually the 5770 functions better than the Q4000 under Smoke.

Hi guys, I have 3 doubts:

1. to run Smoke on MacPro, which is the best GPU solution:
A. Two identical 5770s?
B. Two identical Quadro4000s?

2. Is SLI/crossfire supported by Smoke in Mac?

3. Two identical cards are sufficient to color-grade 2K uncompressed file in Smoke on Mac?

Thanks a lot.

The Quadro 4000 support is way better in Lion that it was in SnowLeopard. Is there any reason you need to stick with SnowLeopard?

 

[adrjork]

No, I would go for Lion! But does Smoke on Lion support a pair of identical Quadro4000?

2. Is SLI/crossfire supported by Smoke in Mac?

SLI/crossfire is unsupported with OSX in general.

Edit: bleck I didn't note this was a necroed thread and a very old post.

No, I would go for Lion! But does Smoke on Lion support a pair of identical Quadro4000?

No, your setup should work just fine. I would just update to the latest OS you can (Lion or Mountain Lion) in order to get a new driver for the Quadro 4000. The driver for SnowLeopard is ancient these days.
