If you love charts you’ll love taking a look at the data, however, you can always skip the charts if you don’t fancy the visuals. To make a comparison we took two high-end iMac Pro’s along with an old Mac Pro and tested them against three similarly priced PCs. However, the iMac Pro and Mac Pro are the best Apple has to offer, that’s why we decided to check how they compare with a PC. Resolve works better with multiple GPUs and is optimized for CUDA, which is only available on NVIDIA GPUs.Īpple uses AMD GPUs and only Mac Pro has more than a single card, plus you can easily get dual, triple, or quad GPU configurations with a PC. You might think that the Mac Pro and iMac Pro aren’t really optimized to use DaVinci Resolve 14 and you’d be right. However, at BIZON we decided to go one step further and test their performance when using DaVinci Resolve 14 application. Our previous article compared the performance of the iMac Pro and Mac Pro to a PC when using Premier Pro 2019. As workflows have increased from 4K, 6K, and even 8K in some places, it is important to make the right choice for optimum performance. My desktop PC draws 150 Watts during rendering.We find whether DaVinci Resolve 14 performs better on iMac Pro, Mac Pro or PC.Īt BIZON a lot of our customers want to switch from a Mac to a PC Workstation. The (render-speed)/(power-demand) figure favors the M1 already now, though. I doubt the 2nd generation M* will be able to fully surpass dedicated GPUs - I mean they have been evolving for 20 years now, and NVidia sure know what they are doing.Īnyway, I am happy to play around with my new little toy (M1), and I like it!
Instead of paying 1000€ for a decent GPU, it may make sense to wait for 2nd generation chips and purchase a new iMac or Mini (if they are updated with the M2 chips). I have been following PC GPU markets since the annoucements of the RTX 3000 series, and due to shortages the prices are just insane.
In my test video I applied some slow-motion effect with motion estimation, this seems to be too much for the M1, and is way faster on a dedicated GPU - even a very old one like my 1070. Just tested with Resolve 17.1.1 Studio and was suprised that I was able to edit 5K/10bit HEVC (200Mbit/s) without any issues.įor basic HEVC and H.264 decoding (and therefore editing) the M1 seems plenty fast. I got the vanilla M1 MB Air to be my travel laptop (hopefully this summer).
