davinci resolve 17 system requirements for mac

We're in the middle of an architecture migration and it's pretty messy.

You would do very well to nurse another couple of years out of your Classic Mac Pro as not Big Sur nor Monterey nor M1 Macs are particularly stable right now. I have a 2009 now with dual X5675 processors (lower power and quieter than either an X5680 or X5690 under a dual CPU heat sink, X5690 is fine in single CPU CMP), with 96 GB of RAM and a Radeon VII running just fine under both 10.14.6 and 11.6.1 (never installed Catalina and still prefer 10.14.6, not sure I'll use 11.6 with this computer). You also need to have the right generation of Xeon processor (you probably already have the right one). If you’re building a PC, or looking for a good (non Apple Silicon) laptop to run Resolve, then everything below still applies.First things first, you can download the latest DaVinci Resolve 17 configuration guide here. What's important is to upgrade the firmware from 4,1 firmware to 5,1 firmware. I have good news for you It's quite possible to upgrade a Classic Mac Pro to 10.14.6. If that's also a machine from 2010, your maximum OS is macOS 10.13.6.
