A graphics card cannot be both OpenCL and CUDA but an app can support both, so that’s more a developer concern than a hardware one.

In FCPX’s case where pretty much everything real-time preview related is accomplished directly on the GPU, going from 2GB max GPU VRAM to 2 x 3GB in parallel should make a dramatic difference in your daily editing experience- on top of making final exports also on the GPU much faster. This would include faster previews of effects/transitions/titles, more real-time streams and at higher resolutions (i.e. 4K).
Resolve’s already doing this in version 10 and clearly the folks at Adobe have been optimizing for OpenCL as well. So not sure the concern that ‘1-2 years for other devs’ is that serious. Some of the big apps are already there or well on their way to optimizing for this new Mac Pro.

Sad statement that being a ‘pro’ means you make up your mind off a 3 minute demo and a page of specs. Give me the actual machine to try using my own workflows and then I’ll give you my verdict.

Frank- as someone who admittedly already went over to PCs before the new Mac Pro was even unveiled what possible bearing does your opinion even have in this forum? If you’re so certain about your own personal platform choice why the desperate need to reinforce it…

Are you positive you synced only by audio- those look like they are synced by timecode.

Sounds more like there’s a problem with your system- I’d run through this
