New Resolve beast workstation advice:
BM specs from Aug '16 spec dual Xeons. But a respected turnkey builder's Resolve optimized workstation currently uses:
- Processor: Intel Corei7-6950X 3.0GHz (Turbo to 3.5GHz) 10 core 25meg cache
- Motherboard: Core i7 HW-E X99 WS - Xeon E5v4 support
Is this current motherboard/processor now a more powerful choice for Resolve over the dual Xeon's in the older BM Configuration Guide?
Second question - Graphics Cards:
- 2ea GeForce Titan X (Pascal) 12GB- 3584 Cuda Cores, 12GB GDDR5X, 1xDVI-D,1x HDMI 2.0, 3x DP
- 2ea GeForce GTX 1080 8GB- 2560 Cuda Cores, 8GB GDDR5X, 1xDVI-D,2x HDMI, 2x DP
- 3ea GeForce GTX 1080 8GB- 2560 Cuda Cores, 8GB GDDR5X, 1xDVI-D,2x HDMI, 2x DP
Are the 2ea Titans really that significant a boost for running resolve.
Usage - currently mostly 1080p 4-10 min corporate video and advertising but originating from 2k BM Cinema Cam raw DNG; but occasionally getting 4k material. Within 1 to 2 yrs will be moving to Ursa 4.6 acquisition and who knows the final deliverable required within a couple years - more future proofing. External raid of course.
Dwaine Maggart are you around - really would appreciate your knowledgeable input as I imagine many others are. Thank you all in advance.
