The Cheese Grater is back

[Michael Gissing] “NVIDIA is a deal breaker for me and I’m sure many Resolve users will be torn.”
The PCIe slots will fit NVIDIA cards just fine, the problem is the lapsed driver support recently. The ball is in NVIDIA’s court now to resume releasing drivers for macOS. Maybe with a proper Mac Pro on the horizon they will see enough renewed demand for them.
Best,

At the moment Not exactly. from nvidia:
From Apple:
Hope this will change. Competition is better. I even hope apple makes a less expensive tower then more competition,

sadly i (and i would guest most of us) have a bucket load of regular old drives with client projects to constantly update. I don’t want thinner and thinner macbooks – i want them with a real usable keyboard (hey forth time’s the charm) that feels like typing not banging your fingers against cement) and ports that don’t require you to pay more for what they used to include for free…and of course carry around all those widgets

[Andy Field] “sadly i (and i would guest most of us) have a bucket load of regular old drives with client projects to constantly update.”
Do you still expect Macs to include Firewire or SCSI? At what point can old technology go away? At what point to the find keeping such ports impacts overall hardware development when all that’s needed is an adaptor. What about new purchasers who don’t need all the legacy? At what point do you migrate stuff on older drives as needed.
I use a “drive dock” and put “raw” drives in it and copy over things as needed.
For older drives in cases, I’ve occasionally pulled them apart so I don’t have to deal with a bunch of older technology and just work with my drive dock.
It’s actually very easy to connect anything from Firewire to flavors of USB to Thunderbolt but I really don’t need a mess of cables when I go somewhere as I don’t carry old enclosed drives with me.
And the new MacPro certainly has reasonable connectivity, much more so than a MBP.

so how do you explain the New Mac Pro cheese grater including those ports (USB) ? It’s made for pros who need them — the new laptops ignore those needs

More at FCP.co
Note the mention of a pre-release version of FCPX. The color mask looks like the same as in Resolve.

You folks are incredible.
You have the option to own a one inch thick 3 pound device that now contains ALL the power of a $150,000 video editing suite from thirty years ago – and that lasts all day on a battery, and all you can do is carp about how the keyboard maybe doesn’t “feel right” and how it doesn’t have EVERY SINGLE connection port you might possibly prefer?
Jesus. Entitlement much?. It’s embarrassing.
This era’s equipment is miraculous and consistently FREAKING AMAZING. Period.
And if you aren’t appreciative about where we are today — compared to where ANYONE wanting to edit video was for ALL OF HISTORY before this era — I”m sorry, but IMO people are starting to sound like a bunch of whiny loons.
Yeah, my laptop doesn’t type with the “feel” of my original Smith Corona Typewriter either.
I got over that pretty fast.Just sayin’

As I said in my post

MBP is designed for portability and one might not be carrying around a bunch of legacy drives.
I’d rather carry my USB-C SSD drive. -
The article states that it will support Nvidia cards but only in boot camp.

[Shawn Miller] “This is why so many motion graphics and 3D artists have left the Mac platform… for Redshift, Arnold, Octane and other Nvidia or CPU hungry applications.”
Mac’s back.????
“Tapping into the amazing performance of the new Mac Pro, we’re excited to develop Redshift for Metal, and we’re working with Apple to bring an optimized version to the Mac Pro for the first time by the end of the year. We’re also actively developing Metal support for Cinema 4D, which will provide our Mac users with accelerated workflows for the most complex content creation. The new Mac Pro graphics architecture is incredibly powerful and is the best system to run Cinema 4D.” — David McGavran, CEO, Maxon
“OTOY is incredibly excited about the all-new Mac Pro and how it will empower our users. Octane X — the 10th anniversary edition of Octane — has been rewritten from the ground up in Metal for Mac Pro, and is the culmination of a long and deep collaboration with Apple’s world-class engineering team. Mac Pro is like nothing we’ve seen before in a desktop system. Octane X will be leveraging this unprecedented performance to take interactive and production GPU rendering for film, TV, motion graphics and AR/VR to a whole new level. Octane X is truly a labor of love, and we can’t wait to get it into the hands of our Mac customers later this year.” — Jules Urbach, CEO and founder, OTOY
