Hi:
There is a problem when update to Resolve 12.5 Studio
Our workstation is MacPro 5,1
6-Core,2.93 GHz
OS is 10.8.5
We usually work with 2.8K ARRIRAW and 5K RED DRAGON files
and smoke 4K DPX file

Mac Pro PCIe
Slot 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5770 for UI
Slot 2 - CUBIX card
Slot 3 - SAS HBA card for Media storage
Slot 4 - BMD IO card with projector

and CUBIX GPU-Xpander Desktop Elite with
Slot 1 - 10gb ethernet card to connect NAS sever
Slot 2 - NVIDIA Quadro 5000 (sometime change this card to RED ROCKET-X for some R3D case)
Slot 3 - NVIDIA Quadro 5000
Slot 4 - NVIDIA Quadro 5000

And Resolve 12.5 Studio Minimum system requirements for Mac is 10.10.5
When I update to 10.10.5
OS system and Resolve 12.5 only see 2 NVIDIA Quadro 5000 cards
Is it probability to use x2 GTX 980 or GTX TITAN X to change Quadro 5000x3

But Resolve_12_Configuration_Guide says in page55:
Recommended for UI GPU Only
NVIDIA Quadro K4200
NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980

Is there any problem if we use these card for render or color grgrading ?
Thank you.

The minimum MacOS requires by DR 12.5 is 10.10.5 your 10.8.x might caused some incompatibility.

i have the same problem but with GTX980!
My system is with OS X 10.10.5

but what i don't understand is that i have problem only with Davinci 12.5 studio (App Store) and not problem with deviance resolve lite....

Somebody can explain why?

Thanks

He already said that the problem occurs after upgrading to 10.10.5.

If I remember correctly 10.10.5 had a limit on the number of Nvidia GPU's it would see, you may also need to update the AMD/ATI driver to get that seen properly

Your UI card isn't supported and I wouldn't mix ATI and Nvidia cards.

I am actually using a 5770 as UI -- DO NOT attempt to use it as a "shared" GPU processor - that would be a show-stopper.

There was an issue with Mavericks and Yosemite where no more than 2 nVidia GPUs could be recognized by the OS. Apparently this has been addressed in ElCap but haven't been able to check it out yet.

We're still waiting to see if Sierra will support PASCAL (1080X card), probably not on Apple's initiative or priority list.

Adam and JP are correct.

On Mac only, you can have an AMD GUI card with NVIDIA GPU cards. Don't try to use it as a processing card, as JP mentions.

OSX 10.9 and 10.10 generally have issues recognizing more than 2 NVIDIA cards, and perhaps only 1 if you also have a Red Rocket card.

OSX 10.11 has fixed that issue. It should properly see multiple NVIDIA cards, like 10.8.5 does.

Thank you, I'll try to update OS to 10.11 and try again.

Thank you, I'll update OS system later and try again.
