[Andrew Kimery] “I’ve only kicked around with X a tiny bit, but from what I’ve heard it really, really wants to be on newer hardware. I think PPro and Avid probably run better on older Macs than FCP X does.”
I run it quite happily on a 2008 Mac Pro with a Radeon 7950 card. It’s not as fast as newer systems but it works well, even in 4K
