Will Quadro FX 5600 work at all for CUDA in Resolve?

PostFri Dec 21, 2012 4:32 am

Pardon my newbie question, I'm just a computer technician, and one of my customers wants to use one of these cards for Resolve.

Overall from what I found Quadro FX 5600 is similar to the certified Quadro FX 4800 in many performance parameters, however not an exact match.

Quadro FX 5600 has CUDA compute capability version 1.0, is it compatible with CUDA API that Resolve is built for?

Operating system is Mac OS X 10.7.5

Will Quadro FX 5600 work with Resolve as CUDA compute card?

That card is not certified for use in Resolve. If it works at all, performance will be very poor.

Which is why I asked if anyone had any experience with it.

Well, that was the question. Does it work?

Will any CUDA device with matching GFLOPS, memory size and bandwidth to certified ones work with Resolve?

Note that this card will not fit IN a MacPro tower. If you put it in an expansion chassis, and you have an AMD HD5770 GUI card, the Quadro FX5600 IS seen as a GPU card by Resolve.

You can get all the way up to ONE blur node of correction, before it drops out of realtime 24FPS playback.

So will it work? Apparently. Would you want to use it? Definitely not. The HD5770 card by itself has better performance. Not to mention, if you had a $2000+ expansion chassis to put it in, you could probably afford a GTX580 to stick in the expansion chassis.
