The new Mac Pro VS MSI?

[Bob Zelin] “This is the Silverdraft Flame workstation”
That thing looks godawful. If I were spending $23K on a Flame workstation, I’d make damn sure that it didn’t look like the rich neighbor’s kid’s tacky gaming PC.

In the UK the processor and the two GeForce GPUs in the Silverdraft Davinci Resolve workstation cost a total of £2053 inc tax, which is the equivalent of $2756. The glitzy toy that B and H are selling costs $12,750. Hmmmm. I wonder how much mark up is in that price?

Agreed, it might be more instructive to look at a machine from a more reputable integrator. If you’re going to pay in the tens of thousands for a computer, it’s good to know exactly what you’re paying for.

BTW, these folks have excellent customer service… if anyone is in the market. ☺

Hey Bob I’m hip I’m hip… I’m replying to this on my Win10 workstation which I use for Capture One and Photoshop because it’s so much faster than my Macbook Pro. It’s silly that Apple thinks we need/want a Xeon machine when there’s all the great i7 and i8 multicore CPU’s out there.
I love editing with FCPX and I need Pro Res deliverables so I will keep my MAcbook handy – I have an adpater that let’s me output to my Sony UHD monitor at 60hz so all good for the occasional post gig.
It was at a Vegas premiere that I resolved to become an avid FCPX user.

[andy patterson] “Does Apple have an answer to the MS Surface Studio? If not Apple could go bankrupt like in the past.”
Apple has a market cap of $900 billion. The next closest tech company is Samsung at $300 billion. I don’t think bankruptcy is on the immediate horizon.

Exactly. One of the 2013 Mac pros that we have was rendering a job for a week at a time. The whole project took over 15 weeks just for encoding.

I see that Nvidia have announced a new consumer GPU, the Titan V at $2999 . That should satisfy the “only the fastest and most expensive will do” crowd. Though not if they have a Mac
