Hello!
I have a Mac Pro tower from 2012. I am wanting to add Da Vinci Resolve but from what I have read I need at least 10.8.5 OS for compatibility--my Mac Pro is 10.13. I was also considering updating the OS to Big Sur or Catalina.
If anybody is able to help with this specific situation please let me know. I appreciate any help.
Thanks!
If it requires 10.15, then you're out of luck, 10.14 is tops for the 2010-2012 Mac Pros with an upgraded Video card.
Ahh, have read about the patch, but Apple won't let us mention hacks. :(
I think with a good card it might do very well, but do read up ob cMPs & graphics apps. :)
What Mac & Video vard?
Does it meet the minimum requirements?

Where did you see 10.8.5? Which is pretty old.
Thank you for your reply! I am reading from the link you sent.
I think I may have just answered my own question. I found a list of OS systems and I am much more informed...

In regard to my post... I read the specs wrong. I took a several years off from editing and I am trying to catch up with everything. It looked like 10.13 was less than 10.8.5 but I see that is not the case. Yikes. I thought I was reading something like 10.1.3... Wow. Not the case.
Computer Specs
2012 Mac Pro OS 10.5, dual 6 core, 3.64GHz, 64GB RAM and editing off of a RAID drive
Video Cards Options: RADEON 7950 3GB, GTX680, RX 570 8GB, RX 560 4GB AMD Firepro
I want to know if a computer with the above specs will be compatible with DaVinci and if there will be performance issues, and if there are issues I am wondering how to resolve them ahead of time. I have not chosen the video card yet. I am going to read from the link you sent, hopefully find out more there.
The link you requested...
I was searching for DaVinci requirements yesterday and found 10.8.5... I also emailed DaVinci Resolve direct and they said I need 10.15.

Thanks for your help, feedback, or input.
Sorry, typo on specs 10.15 is what I have.
Okay. Thanks for your feedback and for letting me know about the rules.
Not sure about cMPs and graphic apps... Is there is a bit more you could say regarding this? If not, I will just skip for now. Thanks.
