Hi Deke, That all makes sense, I figured I should try Cineon/DPX out of curiosity for the exact reasons you state, although it's not part of our pipeline. It'll be interesting to compare notes about the card performance as a whole, though.
I wonder if it's possible to at some point get exr's to decompress on the gpu?
