DaVinci Resolve 17.4 with NVIDIA Quadro M4000

PostFri Nov 19, 2021 2:51 pm

I'm running DR 14.3.1 Studio on a Dell T5500 with 48GB RAM and NVIDIA Quadro M4000. It runs fine.

I'm considering upgrading to DR 17.4 Studio.

Will it run fine with the NVIDIA Quadro M4000?
On the internet there seems to be some terminology mix up re. Compute Capability and CUDA. The M4000 has a Compute Capability of 5.2, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#GPUs_supported.
This seems to fall within the CUDA SDK 11, 11 being the requirement for DR 17.4.

However, elsewhere, I see the NVIDIA M4000 classed as having a CUDA of 5.2.

did you test it out?

since i'm looking to do some 'basic' 4k editing, it appears i need 8gb video card. the only affordable one i've been offered is a m4000.

at present happily doing hd with gtx 960 4gb. is it worth the change of card?

Hi Leslie,

I’m very pleased with the Quadro M4000 and DR 17.4.2. Though I’m editing a 1080p timeline, I’ve just completed a 1080p project with all 4K footage throughout. I’ve never had to generate proxy files or even generate cache for playback, despite the fact that I've graded the colours, zoomed in and out, used titles, long dissolves, keyframes, and audio fx. And some of my footage is hevc 4K at 59.94fps running in slo mo at 23.976fps.

I haven’t tried a 4K timeline, so can’t comment on that.

All the best.

As long as an NVIDIA card supports CUDA Compute 3.5 or higher, it will work with Resolve 17.
