Re. Resolve 14

I installed Resolve 14 with the dongle for the purpose of color grading. This is my first Resolve product. One the first try I received a message that my GPU was not up to the task! Confession, I know zip about a GPU and what it does. I have attached two files of my card specs. Is there a problem with this card?

Well, it seems I don't know zip about attaching files either. Anyway I am using a Nvidia Quadro 4000. If someone would look at the specs online and advise, I really would appreciate it!
 
That's a bit old, but it should still do something. Pretty sure they want K series as the minimum now. As a note, on many systems, Avid wants a Quadro K1200 (minimum) for the graphics card which is one of the lowest end you can get (now).

And it (the Quadro 4000) should still allow you to do real work, just a lot of things will get slow, especially if you have a lot of nodes in the pipeline.

All that said, I haven't put Resolve 14 on any machines, I think 12.5 is the newest I've looked at.
 
The Quadro 4000 is old and rather slow by today's standards, that's what I was using when I built my first system a few years ago. New I have two systems one with a GeForce GTX970 which is an older gaming card but works fine with resolve and is actually faster than the Quadro 4000. My newer system is an HP Z840 with a Quadro M6000 and it burns through anything that I through at it. Of course this is a more expensive card running anywhere from $4,500 to $6,000. Mine was $4,500 as it was the HP version discounted when purchased with the Z840 when I bought it.

However, you don't need to spend that much.

In Blackmagic's DaVinci Resove configuration guide there are some recommended gaming cards that will work at much less expense.

Here are a few of the recommended cards:

NVIDIA TITAN Xp
12GB GDDR5X SDRAM https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/titan-xp/

NVIDIA TITAN X
12GB GDDR5 SDRAM https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/titan-x-pascal/

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080ti
11GB GDDR5 SDRAM https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1080-ti/

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
8GB GDDR5 SDRAM https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1080/

You can download a copy of the configuration guide here:

I just upgraded my card from a 980ti to a 1080ti as well. Works great. Hopefully you didn't pay too much because of the ridiculous spike in GPU prices.
 
The spike is from bitcoin (et al.) miners because the processors are really good at crunching numbers. Have the professional level cards gone up a lot? I haven't been tracking prices on cards lately. Will it work with multiple GPU cards to share the load and let you buy several lower end professional cards?
