Why does Apple tell me I can stick 2 video cards in my system if they won’t work.
Sunday, May 31st, 2009I mean… they work… but not really. I’ll explain.
Last year I got a Mac Pro 2.8ghz 8core. It’s awesome. When I was looking into alternatives to buying a MojoDX from Avid for a preview monitor it donned on me that Apple gives you the option to put more than one video card in your system. I “need” to have 2 monitors for my edit suite so 1 card wouldn’t be enough. So I got 2 Nvidia 8800gts and slapped them in. Everything was wine and roses. Running Avid is great with a big 46″ Sony LCD as your preview monitor. Also to be able to do HD projects and have a real time preview that stays in perfect sync for only an extra $275 is great. Here comes the best part… it works in Final Cut Pro too. So BAM! I can do a project for anyone asking for either and I did. I did 3 projects, 2 in Avid and 1 in Final Cut Pro and my clients were happy and impressed.
Macworld ’08… I figure everyone else is talking about it.
