Thanks Steve but not really sure if it is a Mac OS thing.

Mac is behind WIN in openGL support but Maximus (Quadro - Tesla etc. combos) are much more about CUDA as I understood it.

Cheers,

and tesla doesn't work on macs :(... yell at apple to get their heads out of their asses on running current video cards / GPU's instead of always being 1-2 generations behind.

Quadro 6000 is roughly equivalent to a GTX470 so the 580s would still beat a 6000/tesla comb

even with the cubix box it would probably still be way cheaper

Even if price isn't an issue do they really want to buy a system even Apple itself says won't see an update until late 2013, if ever? Even if it's the fastest Mac now available, the performance gap with PCs will be an issue in under two years.

Listers,

A client is looking to pick up a couple of the new Mac Pros and they asked me to help with the best specs for CS6 Raytracer.

I know we touched on this a while back -  what is the best, as in fastest, budget is not an issue, GPU set-up for the Mac + WIN

As I understood it, the NVIDIA Quadro 6000 combo Tesla is pretty much top of the heap on WIN... correct?

What gets closest (fastest) on the Mac?

Cheers,
Chris
