This is exactly what I've been hearing as well. Unless the software is written from the ground up to take advantage of the updated hardware specs/architecture on the new mac pros, the speed boost is negligible.. Especially for the price. Would def just spend your money upgrading video cards, ram, DEFINITELY replace your system drive with an SSD as well as get an additional SSD for use as a AE disk cache… they are super cheap these days Can't stress enough how awesome the switch to an SSD system drive was… -- tony romain | principal/creative director trance motion graphic animation and design 323 651 1114 www.trancedesigns.com From: AE list <AE-List@media-motion.tv> Reply-To: AE list <AE-List@media-motion.tv> Date: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 11:23 AM To: AE list <AE-List@media-motion.tv> Subject: Re: [AE] What's the state of Ae on new MacPros? We do mostly AE and Maya stuff at Mettle. We opted for beefed up 4.1 and 5.1 Macs with great GPU's and a couple of WIN machines instead.
A buddy of mine that runs an FCPX edit shop swears by the new Mac Pros. I would hold off if I were you... get SSD's and max out your RAM on your current Macs. From what I remember you already have very decent GPU's on your Macs. HTH |
