Best performance you’ll get (for now) with FCP X (and Motion) if you get the top-of-the-line configuration.

Sorry, I am not a FCP X guy,but what would GTX 680MX mean in relation to adobe premiere’s open CL and CUDA enabled tech?

October 23, 2012 at 6:30 pmBasically BTO is probably Quad Ivy Bridge i7 and with USB3 ports it’s a very flexible and fast desktop in lieu of the awaited MacPro. I think a lot of people who are primarily editors may be fine with this as a primary workstation. I wonder if nVidia spells reasonable CUDA support. Reducing the reflective issues on the monitor is also very useful.

October 23, 2012 at 6:33 pmAssuming the BTO Quad Ivy Bridge i7 and considering USB3 and less reflective monitor and given nVidia if there’s CUDA support this could be well rounded main workstation for many.

October 23, 2012 at 8:20 pmPremiere runs just fine on my iMac without suppt of CUDA, but After Effects is a no go for the whole Ray trace engine. If this card supports that, I’m there. Make it a second workstatoin.
Still need that DVD burner.
I was sitting there watching the keynote on AppleTV, very nice, but then they’re like we made it thinner by removing the DVD drive. …. huh? …. I’m sitting there having the time to watch the keynote because I’m in the middle of burning multiple DVDs for 2 different large companies here in Atlatna. Why don’t I want a DVD burner? I guess it’s so think I can duct tape on of those external ones to the back.

Let’s not redefine the term “workstation” as “desktop computers used for work.” Preserving the distinction will help us argue more next year when the Mac Pro successor makes its debut.
But yes, these iMacs look like they’ll be nice systems for most editorial work.
