Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Resolve on Symphony

I'm not going to claim it's 100% supported, and in fact there may
be efficiency issues, but everything "appears" to work and I haven't
noticed any decrease in performance in Symphony and there was an increase
in Resolve's performance when the extra GPU was added.

There is no local storage to speak of beyond a striped pair of 2TB drives
for some temporary work and storage. Otherwise everything is from EditShare
server via 10Gb/s ethernet.

The slot configuration appears to be:
Slot 1: Avid HBA
Slot 2: NVidia Quadro FX3800
Slot 3: Blackmagic Decklink SDI
Slot 4: 10Gb/s Ethernet
Slot 5: NVidia GeForce GTX580
Slot 6: Empty (obscured)
Slot 7: Empty
