When it comes to final render out to compressed file formats the CPU power is what counts. BM does a great job of utilizing every multicore on a 12 core Mac Pro. I doubt your render out speeds would increase significantly without making an upgrade to a 12 core. Currently at “1/2 resolution good” WITHOUT a RED rocket card.. I’m getting 18fps out to Apple Pro Res 4444. The original source media is RED 4k. I’m getting such good realtime debayers and renders on a 12 core that I doubt I need a RED Rocket Card. I have a full report posted here:
