Upgrading GPU Mac Pro

[Andy Patterson]

I image most people will say get the GTX 1080 Ti but the AMD Vega cards will be out soon if you can wait a little longer to see which one offers the best bang for the buck.

For FCPX, AMD GPUs often provide better performance. But since you are also using Resolve that makes the decision more complicated.

FCPX will work best with a AMD RX480 8GB, which will also fair well in Resolve from my research, about as good as a Titan X from this forum post:

Keep in mind that is a hackintosh and the AMD card has some bugs in it. Speed is not everything.
