See he numerous threads about gpu ram. Basically, you need a gpu with more than 2gb of ram.

Ahhh no it’s not. It’s cross platform!

Because the clear pattern has been less and less expansion builtin and more and more dependence on Thunderbolt. Even current macpros don’t have enough pci slots as it is. We have to add cubix expanders and extra power supplies to get what pc configs are able to do in one box. Check out the performance claims in the bmd win config guide.
They dropped the 17″ & removed express ports from everything. You really think the next MacPro will have pci slots? Ha!
And as to gpu, it would literally cost apple nothing to add a more modern gpu option to mp. Clearly nvidia wants us to buy their cards. They released the magic drivers. All apple would need to do is give their blessing. Instead they kept the same 3gen old cards from ati in the “new” macpro. They don’t want to sell us an end user configurable machine.
To me they’re saying it pretty clearly… when my clients ask me for advice on configuring a Resolve system, I will strongly recommend a PC.

Or maybe they realized the pseudo update was a giant pr screwup. Either way, I’d expect the next MacPro won’t be much good for resolve. If building a new Resolve system I would highly recommend a pc based system,

This is how it worked with resolve in the previous gen 17″ MacBook pro.

Thunderbolt is a motherboard chipset thing. ASUS’s card isn’t a pci card, it’s a daughter card that requires an asus motherboard with a TB capable chipset.
The next MacPro will probably not be a very good resolve solution. If you want resolve performance, it seems well need to look elsewhere.

Let’s not stick our heads in the sand for rumors from David “fcpx is awesome” Pogue. Time to get ready to move on to real hardware when the time comes.

I think the clear message from Apple to Pro users requiring pci & serious gpus is “go f*ck yourself!”
At least that’s my take away.
This is definately a must read now:

Thunderbolt allows for loop through and two devices operating at full speed. So two ports = up to 4 devices at full speed.

To display. This is the same as before with the last nvidia gpu on 17″. GUI on integrated. Processing on discreet.
