Hi,
Anyone have experience with these cards?
Im considering these vs K6000.
The 6x 4k outputs is very tempting.
thoughts?

I had no luck with them....using 3 or 4 outs was ok, but when I tried to use more I constantly ran into Frame Rate issues and crashes...They Benchmark well,. but don't seem to do well in the real world.... No Need for a K6000 Resolume cannot take advantage of all the extra features... get a Titan X. You will be much happier.has more shaders than the 6k.

Rossnz, when you say "them" are you referring to the W9100? Or the Titan X?

Rossnz, that's awesome! We have used a FirePro W7100 in a couple machines, and while it ran Resolume really well (7040x2160 - up to around 5 layers 60fps) it started to get buggy with all 4 outputs. (We read the forum, tried 2 active/2 passive adapters, 4 active adapters, etc.) and every time:

-Preview Monitor would go blank (lose fps, test grid)
-Advanced Output features worked (i.e. we could select and move points, mask, transform) but without any active output (i.e. a fully black canvas)

We eventually went back to NVIDIA cards, but I saw some potential in the FirePro's performance. Do you have any settings other than default in your driver for the card?

I am doing a build here soon and I was looking at the FirePro W9100. Any new info on these with Arena 5? alternatively I was looking at getting a DeckLink card and a 1080ti card and using the 1080 to process plus local monitor, and the DeckLink for camera in and the rest as outs to displays. Is the FirePro W9100 really worth 3000$?

Not for Resolume Arena. I would definitely stick with a 1080ti.
