Hey guys,
I can safely say, that there’s (as of now) absolutely no difference in rendering times between the 750m and the m370x. (Not sure if performance hasn’t even dropped a bit as Resolve doesn’t seem to be optimized for the AMD card yet).
I had just ordered one of the late 2014 Macbooks on the day when the 2015 model was announced and did two jobs with it before returning it due to some weird kernel panics so when I received my new model (2,8 Ghz, 16GB RAM, m370x) I was able to run the exact same project files as I did on the older model with the Nvidia 750m.
2K Alexa ProRes4444 25p renders at ~27-30 frames
6K Red Epic R3Ds 25p render at ~7-9 frames
HD ProRes422HQ 25p renders at ~37-40 framesThese were DnxHD36 8-bit MXF tests.
Cheers

Okay, I got it to work with the newest drivers, after deleting the old SxS plists

Hey Gary,
Would you be so kind to share what exact version numbers of the SxS device driver and UDF driver you have installed?
I tried it on a maxed out 1st Gen Retina Macbook on which I’d done a complete wipe of the harddrive and absolutely fresh install of Yosemite over the holidays.
Absolutely everything works great (Resolve 11 seems to be faster still on 10.10).
On my first gig last week however, I was unable to read any Alexa SxS cards (tried with different driver versions and tried on two different Sonnet Echo readers).
I actually got stuck to the point, that my Macbook wouldn’t even complete the boot process after I had installed the XQD driver from the Sonnet support site!!
(Luckily I could revive it later by booting in safe mode and removing all of the drivers).
You don’t want this to happen on set.
I then worked off of a Mavericks time machine backup which I carried on an external hard drive (thank God!)
I’d be happy for a running combination in Yosemite however.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
