No, it seems black magic has set an undocumented limit as to when acceleration happens.
I'm traveling now and have to use my Laptop to cut a video, shot in 5.8k 30fps and 4k 120fps on the GH6. Both h.265.
64gb 10th gen i7 + 4gb Nvidia Quadro T2000 + 64gb RAM.
When 4k 120fps clips are there, smooth as butter, but when the 5.8k 30fps clips come, It's like pulling your teeth out with bare hands, it's just an awful process.
You can't even create proxy media, because the decoding happens CPU only and the Davinci Resolve interface predicts 8 hours for proxy creation. At least if it used acceleration to create Proxy media, but no, it's a hard feature disable with based on an arbitrary limit that was set years ago.
So I found the quick solution to get through this edit without losing my sanity: Have VLC Player open. So I scroll in VLC to find the correct passages and cut them in the edit page with Davinci Resolve.
Luckily VLC Player has a feature DaVinci Resolve did not manage to gain after so many years: Not setting arbitrary limits as to when acceleration is allowed to happen.
edit: Not too sound too negative, Resolve handled itself really really well, editing 4 cameras with a mix of 1080p, 4k and 5.8k with LUTs, Color Grading, de-noising, sharpening and stabilization, parts of footage straight from SD Card, since Laptop's storage wasn't enough. Still, changing the timeline and having to wait 2-10 seconds for the update to be visible is painful, whereas the 4k120p footage updated almost instantly.
