iMac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX DaVinci Resolve performance is Amazing

[Andrew Sableton]

Would love to hear what happens when you really push this system to the limits….. 2k and even 4k material…

I’m not expecting realtime playback with multiple blur nodes but wondering if it is usuable or becomes overwhelmingly laggy, beachballs etc….

4k seem pushing it already on paper

[Paul Jay] “ProRes 422 1920×1080 25fps

I’ve tested BMC RAW footage as well.
I get full playback with 5 blur nodes……On an iMac.”

Nice. Was that ProRes 422 (HQ)?

We’re about to purchase one, but Apple asks for 6 weeks.
Any one having good experiences with Hackinstoshs?
Please post the candle or other tests so we can all compare!
By the way, our 2011 iMac w/6970 does perform decently. Not able to face a propper MacPro but fine for work without a client (and no CUDA!)

just got mine…3.2 i5 and i’m totally converted….even my old tower from 2 years ago struggled with more than 2 nodes but his thing just flies through media…i used to do the rendering in pro res 1920X1080 and let it run overnight but now by the time i’ve made a coffee this thing is done! never thought i’d say this but WOW……if i could just resize the windows now i would be in colorist heaven…
