1. Re: Quadro K5000 for Mac Pro
Alex - DV411 Apr 2, 2013 2:24 PM (in response to Dan Wolfe)has anyone else done this yet?
Not on a Mac yet. The PC customer is happy with its performance in heavy AE and Pr use. The price bites but being a part of a $12K system and having it covered by the same on-site warranty the system is, was worth it for the client. The fact that it runs cooler and is more power-efficient than previous gen Quadros and current GeForce cards, is a bonus.
I also don't want to negativly affect my FCP7 & FCPX perfromace on the same machine.
It might make them a bit faster but most likely you won't see much of a difference. Adobe CUDA-aware apps will love it.

The previous poster summarized your CUDA question well. FCP7 won't care. If you're running the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3,) the built in OpenCL drivers will take advantage of the K5000. That means that, depending on what you're doing with FCPX, you may see some increase in performance.
