CS6 didn’t have the GPU accelerated debayering for R3D. CC2014 does. Completely different requirements for that ie allot more ram usage.

I hate to break it to you but 5K R3D on a laptop especially one using Open CL instead of Cuda is going to be a poor experience regardless of whether Mac or PC. 5K R3D media can push even a 6 Core X99 workstation with 64GB of ram depending on what the project complexity is like when trying to render and work simultaneously. That workstation has 2 or 3 times the processing and ram performance capability of the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro is an underpowered Imac basically as far as performance comparison goes. Along with that Open CL has allot of evolving to do with Adobe and is far from ram efficient which is what your running into now after a few minutes of rendering. I would suggest moving the renders to a desktop or workstation if you can. If not then render and walk away. MacBook Pros or any other laptop out currently don’t have the spec capability to render and work 5K media at the same time.

Just remember to look in the forums for the manufacturer of your systemboard and see if any are reporting ram issues with the 900 series cards and that board. So far the Zotac cards are not showing this but some of the other manufacturers for the Geforce cards have had this issue with some boards and their current bios.

Works fine with most systems. Some boards are having resource issues with it so may require a bios update. Adobe works great with it.

The 12G brings HDMi2.0 to the Blackmagic lineup which allows 4K at 60 frame via HDMi.

Also AE 2014 seems to have better performance when the ram per CPU core is set to 3GB or 4GB regardless of the amount of threads available. The Ram profile for AE seems to be large now even more so than in the past. Keep in mind using other applications at the same time as AE will further limit the amount of ram AE has for the player and such. I would try and restrict that some with complex comps in AE.

Walter is correct. Someone set the disk to MBR when they initialized it most likely. That limits any partition size to 2TB. You have to delete the current partition on the drive and then convert the disk type to GPT. Once that is done then you can create a new partition that uses the entire volume space. The size you mention is a raid 5 most likely. Due to the partition addressing information and block allocation you never get the entire space of the drives. So a 8TB raid 5 volume will show normally around 5.6TB or 5.8TB. Depending on the drives and controller.

No 1GBE will not be enough for a couple streams of 4K XAVC. Even load balanced that wont give enough bandwidth. If you using that media at 4K then you need 10Gbe.

USB3 can give you 180 to 200MB/s but the latency for the drives is far higher than internal drives. That is where the sluggishness occurs when reading multiple streams/files. A internal raid 0 or SAS storage would be far better for this. The USB3 should be used for archive or mobile storage/work drives with laptops.
