Hi,
I'm looking to build a high end post production machine that dual boots Win and OSX 10.8.
I want to use an SR-X board with dual E5 2687Ws.
I'm wondering about the graphics. Need to have a quadro in this machine as I use Assimilate Scratch that requires a quadro card for full functionality. I have a few 4000's but the performance in OSX is a bit disappointing compared to the 5800 I currently use in Windows.
So... I'd like to use a K5000 since this has been announced for Mac. My questions are these:
Do I need a mac version of the card or will a Hackintosh work with a Windows version? Also, if it's dual boot will a Mac version work in Windows? What's the best strategy here?
Has anybody heard about these cards not working on an SR-X board? I saw something on Newegg about this that concerned me.
Are the K5000's supported in OSX yet or will there be a wait on it working?
Lastly, I've heard some talk of the 6000's working in Macs. There is a guy selling 6000's on ebay advertised for macs who says he has hacked something. Seems like we'd have heard more if this was really a viable path, but I'd love to have 6000 performance in OSX. Anybody know?
I know that's a lot of questions, but basically they boil down to will a K5000 work and which one should I get?
Thanks a bunch for any help.
