I hate you BlackMagic, so much. So much.

The Intensity 'Pro' card is not. At all. 8 bit?, YUV, interlaced output only? That's hardly 'uncompressed' as the box and your website say repeatedly. I won't even start on the fact that it'll only display from software with an existing video output function thereby making it impossible to color correct any monitor attached to the steaming pile of garbage with any sort of calibration device. What masochist is designing this garbage for you?

Is there anything makes that isn't a proprietary disaster or a total fraud?

While I appreciate the help and suggestions we should clear a few things up;

Without a BM card in the computer you CANNOT use your GPU to compute. I've moved the cards around per Adam Roberts suggestion and Resolve still throws up 'memory full' and 'current hardware configuration' warnings if you attach more than one monitor without a BM card installed. (Way to play dirty BM).

The Intensity Pro is not something anyone should be using for color correction. It was suggested numerous times but upon further testing the Intensity Pro is profoundly awful. The primary argument FOR the use of a proprietary BM card was that in order for Resolve to be effective you needed to be working in 10 bit. If you guys are going to stick with that line of reasoning, stop suggesting the use of anything in the 'Intensity' family.

That's very weird. I don't have a BM card in my machine and never had an out of memory error with Resolve. I have three 27inch 2.6K res monitors attached to my machine.

I suspect something amiss in your computer spec. What motherboard, OS, GPUs etc. you using?

... interlaced output only?...That's hardly 'uncompressed'

Where do you get that from?
If I remember that correct, our Intensity card was absolute able to output progressive.

And yeah, what has that to do with the compression?

Just use an HDLink to convert the signal to RGB.

The website says "10bit HDMI" and lists the following for HD Format Support:
"1080i50, 1080i59.94, 1080i60, 1080p23.98, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p29.97, 1080p30, 720p50, 720p59.94 and 720p60." for the Intensity Pro.

Is that not true?

Not on the Pro, if you read page 5 on the main Intensity section only the USB 3 and TB shuttle actually state they do 10bit
