It is evident that Resolve uses the dual GPUs in the Mac Pro. Then we performed an unrendered playback of 1 noise reduction node. First we performed an unrendered playback with 8 blur nodes. We imported the popular 117 frame Candle project set to 1920x1080. ( RED graph bar means FASTEST in Seconds.)
)Ĭertain filters use the GPU's OpenCL acceleration. ( RED graph bar means FASTEST in SECONDS. Then we applied and rendered the Aged Film effect.
Using a plug-in called Noise Ninja, we removed noise from 50 raw images. We converted a 2 minute ProRes 422 clip to iPad compatible mp4. This is a popular, free app for transcoding video that stresses all CPU cores. Hopefully the real-world tests below will provide additional answers.Ĥc nMP D300s = 'late 2013' Mac Pro 3.7GHz Quad-Core Xeon, 32GB 1866MHz DDR3 memory, 256GB PCIe flash storage, dual FirePro D300 GPUs (2G VRAM each)Ĥc iMac G780M = 'late 2013' iMac 3.5GHz Quad-Core i7, 32G 1600MHz DDR3 memory, 512G PCIe flash storage, single GeForce GTX 780M GPU (4G VRAM) Readers keep asking, 'Do I need a 2013 Mac Pro Quad-Core or will the top 2013 iMac Quad-Core i7 perform just as well for less $$$?' We initially took a stab at this question in a December 2013 article using a mix of benchmarks. Posted Friday, April 25th, 2014 by rob-ART morgan, mad scientist
