Good to know, so 4x512GB drives are in the HP Turbo Quad? You don't need this card as an interface and then add a NVMe drive-right? I was confused by your comment and I don't know squat about these-obviously.

Does the older HP Z840 work with NVme? I thought they wouldn't. I think the M6000 is 2 slots wide. I have BMD 12G card and not sure if I have an extra PCI slot. Do they still make SATA NVme? But yeah crazy technology.

20% vat-ouch. That's a good price if it comes with a warranty. You might save some money with the RTX2080 or RTX3080, but it's hard to say without knowing what thier charging for the card. At this point that's a good card with that much ram and cud's cores (which resolve likes). Go for it!

Looks good! I can't see the price, how much is it?

Resolve likes CUDA cores, which the RTX 20XX ans 30XX provide. Here's a handy site to compare. I certainly wouldn't recommend a Quadro card unless you have the dough and client base to support it, and I own NVIDIA stock. :) I have two RTX2060 systems and they work great.

I too always follow certified machines specs but last year I bought a refurb Z840 from a great company, Teksavers in Texas. I had a M4000 in my Z800 and planned to move it over but instead got a technically unsupported GeForce RTX2060 Super which is far better than the older Quadro M4000. A major Avid system integrator, Pudget Systems (I think that's

It just doesn't make good business sense as the user base will moan and groan if that feature cost them extra money. If you're a closed shop wherein you edit what you shoot and your not a post house then it's a non-issue... stay with the last release of legacy Mc, 2019.12 (or was it 2018.12). You can always use another application to transcode

[quote user="Philip Kapadia"]I do not understand the barrage avid is getting about this.[/quote] I was going to keep my mouth shut as these are Facebook type rants, but..I agree with Philip. I was expecting far worse considering all the hate on this issue, but the interface really hasn't changed that much. I get muscle memory etc., but

This is what I was referring to from an AVID doc. I thought I saw something saying AVID takes GPU over CPU in preference, but I can't find that anywhere, so maybe this is what I was thinking of. Sorry if I gave bad info. "Media Composer effects, render, and playback operations can benefit from GPU processing. The render and playback performance

Wow, you're really going off the range. :) The AMD5700 looks to be qualified but not the motherboard. Perhaps go for 64GB of RAM too. AVID utiilizes GPU more than CPU. I just got an ASUS ZenBook DuoPro and AVID 2021.2 works on it, but I haven't put it to much of a rigorous test, but it does work. 2021+ requires W10, W7 isn't supported. I
