After much consternation yesterday, I was finally able to get my GTX 770 OC 4GB (the gigabyte windforce version) to load up 10.9.2. It required a flash on my GA-X79S-UD5 to the newer BIOS (f13w), as well as a few kexts upfront to get in. Before the flash, the 770 would display the mobo screen, but the machine wouldn't even let me input to access bios / q-flash / anything. Very frustrating, but after about 3 hours toying around with a buddy (who luckily had a very similar machine and a working disk with Windows 8 on it), we were able to flash and get back in.
Here's my problem: the 770 hasn't improved my BruceX time AT ALL, which is VERY disappointing, as I'm sure you can imagine. I'm stuck at around 80 seconds, and my machine should be absolutely crushing that benchmark in at most 30 seconds. Specs below:
GA-X79S-UD5
i7 3930k OC'd @ 4.5GHz
64 GB Corsair Vengeance
Mavericks 10.9.2
I have updated both the NVIDIA drivers as well as the CUDA management (some of my effects plugins use CUDA), but I haven't seen a single improvement in speed. Am I missing something?
I've seen people with a single R9 270x in almost identical setups demolish this benchmark (some around 23-27 seconds), so I picked one up at Best Buy today (I know, I know...but it was there, I didn't feel like waiting because I'm impatient, and their return policy is ridiculously easy to take advantage of, just in case). I'm thinking of popping it in if I can't squeeze a LOT more performance out of this 770.
Any light y'all can shed would be much appreciated. I'm learning more and more that FCPX performance and gaming performance are just completely different things. I don't care AT ALL about gaming. I want blazing Final Cut performance.
