As far as I know you can tell Resolve to also use the GTX-680 even if it's driving the GUI.  That would add some more umph to the Resolve wouldn't it.

The quadros are older technology in many ways supporting older display concepts like overlay and double floating point precision. They also have better support for open GL which is why they are the only cards that work with a Flame.

Resolve however is not using the graphics cards to drive a display they are being used as render engines. So clock speed and cores are the go. Right now the fastest/best cards for the $ are the Titan X.

If you want an amazingly fast resolve you want an expansion chassis with multiple cards

is my favorite - you'll need to change the stock fans though as the ones they come with are noisy as hell

In the computer all i have is a gtx680 for the gpu, my raid adapter and the agent x adapter. then in the expansion chassis i have two gtx780ti and a decklink card. Works great.

The Titan X would kill my system though!

Once again I was told directly from the Resolve engineers the Quadro 4K was old news about a year and a half ago.  They were all about the GTX series with it's additional Cuda cores.  Are these Quadro K4000 etc...  something new and different from the Quadros I was told to avoid by Resolve engineers?  Is this something more about PC vs. Mac.  When I went through this the Quadros were way more expensive than the GTX-680 and performed much worse according to the Resolve folks.  Was I mislead or have things changed?  At the time I was under the impression the Quadros were yesterdays technology and were being abandoned.  Did I get this wrong?

The good news is you are in a PC so you have more slots to work with. Depending upon the card you pick and the power supply in your system, you might have to supplement it. I had to add an external power supply because my Z800 had the 750 watt power supply but some shipped with an 1100 watt supply.

As for cards you can go for Quadro K4000, K5000, or K6000. According Greg Huson get at least 4 gigs of RAM on the card.
