Hi all,
I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card on one of our edit suites at work, so that we can run DaVinci Resolve 9 Lite.
It's a HP z400 Workstation with a Xeon quad-core processor and 18GB DDR3 RAM. The current graphics card is a Quadro FX 3800, which, according to the splash screen and subsequent error message on opening Davinci Resolve 9, does not have sufficient CUDA cores. This edit suite is primarily used for Avid MEdia Composer, so whatever happens I need to stick with a Quadro card.
The way I see it, I have two options. Either replace the GPU with a new one entirely, or keep the FX 3800 and utilize the second PCI-e 2.0 x16 slot for a second GPU which will be used as the processor in DaVinci.
So far I looked at a 3GB Quadro K4000. Price range ideally needs to be below £1000, which will need to include a PSU upgrade if neccessary too.
Thanks
