Posted by Robert Ruffo on October 25, 2012 at 7:05 pmWhich would get better performance in Resolve? Anybody try a 2008 with a Rocket?

October 25, 2012 at 7:28 pmRed Rocket generally helps great deal in performance. Not sure eiter config is ideal. Why can’t you stick the RR card in the 12-core box?

October 25, 2012 at 8:57 pmIf you’re buying, I’d go with the beefier mac pro. Unless all you work with is RED footage. In which case I’d scringe desperately for more budget to get the beefier mac pro and RED ROCKET.

October 26, 2012 at 9:50 amI would not invest in the Rocket because we will more and more non Red media in the future.
Also i find it cumbersome to grade “through” the Rocket as it ads a big delay when navigating the media.
The only benefit I see in using it is if you are doing HD dailies on a daily base and have to transcode tons of material.A slice of color…
