Cinema 4D Plugin Massive Problems on OS X

Just set this up today on two of our Macs. Dual Titans. Works great, but looks ghetto. These are running on Mavericks and CUDA drivers. nothing else needed

Nice addition to our two Quad Titan PCs

Octane is insane on these things

The PC's

wow! its ghetto. but its awsome! so you used the first and the last lost to have the most space possible between the cards?
i would like to upgrade to another second gtx titan somewhen in near future if budget allows..
but i have the problem that i have another tiny card istalled for HDMI 4:2:2 output to my Eizo HDMI 4:2:2 input for viewing
safe colors in REC.709. Its an Intensity Card from Decklink

My Question: Does The titan also output 4:2:2 Signal? Does After Effects Recognize The Titan as HDMI output option?
If so, i could get rid of the intensity pro.

answers welcome!

Are your cards MacVid Cards? or just standard PC Cards? Which maunfacturer? Retailer?
and: where are the differences exactly between a zotac, evga, gigabyte ect.. i have a gigabyte...
kind regards from germany

These are evga Titans in the Mac. Plug and play as far as drivers are concerned.

I did want as much space as possible between cards for air flow. I had to take out two hard drives in fear than the top card would melt the drives. You need to have your displays on the bottom card because the OS will only run a signal from a 16x slot. The top one is on a 4x slot. Octane uses it with no problems. Both Octane and TurbulenceFD Simulation use both cars at the same speed, so the speed doesn't seem to be affected at all by being in a 4x slot. At least from my Octane and TurbulenceFD tests.

The Titans run cooler then the 680 Mac edition. A lot cooler. They are basically one big heat sink. One 680 heated up my entire cubicle. 2 Titans are barely noticeable. That said, I still run my fan directly on the cards when rendering our huge scene that still takes 40 hours with 12 Titans.

I haven't tested anything in after effects yet since we just installed these late morning yesterday and had to get straight to Octane scene testing. I shall report back.

Just a thought BUT you may want to consider finding a way to put the side back on as this assists with the internal airflow - (If you have the last h/d bay free it allows for enough space to pass the wires through on the top pci slot)

Thanks, and i agree. Unfortunately, There truly is no way to do this on these. No room. The Titans run much much cooler than the 680's we had in there before. We have two fans blasting on these on both Mac's, which worked flawlessly on the 680's.

No problems at all with heavy rendering since we installed.
