Correct. Resolve uses a second GPU card (CUDA preferred) to offload some of the processing. This is intended to maintain real-time performance in an output-to-tape situation. I've run tests using 1) only an ATI 5870, 2) only a Quadro 4000 and 3) a GT120 + a Quadro 4000. I got very little difference in performance. With only a couple of basic nodes, the dual-card combo gave 2-3fps better performance. Both close to 24fps. With a lot of complex nodes on back-to-back clips, I had a few frames more playback performance with the dual-card set-up, but none of the combos was real-time.
FWIW - Resolve Lite is free and runs with BMD capture cards (only), but if you also have CS6, make sure to check into SpeedGrade (included). For now, you are stuck with only using a desktop display, but performance is faster and stays real-time longer. Layer-based, rather than node-based. Similar results. No MXF workflow, yet.
