Quadro FX SDI

I can't see any reason why you would want to spend 10.000 on a graphic card with SDI!
It's like buying a Ferrari to drive round in your back yard.

Any of the Quardra series are really overkill for something like Edius, except the 1500 in my opinion.

Today you can get a card that will do suitable HD resolution to VGA/DVI with 256MB RAM for as little as $60.

If you want HD-SDI output to monitor, then you should go for the GV hardware instead.

Not quite $10000 but near enough :)
I asked the question before I got the pricing , wow.
I got a FX3450 it wil do.

wondering what motherboard you are using for those CPU's, if it's a X7DAx series did you have to update the BIOS?

[juhaheiskanen]

yes, painfull upgrades.. supermicro 2.0a bios, also AMCC raid firmware and drivers..E-mu 1616m firmware, some program updates.. just waiting for real SP3.. installed RC2 to secondary system and looks good, not yet to my primary Edi. Now thinking of bit.overclocking cpu's..(X7DAE/5000X)
