Comment on The Mac Pro – A Year in the Studioparent

Comments

For reference, I have 6900XT. I don't plan to ever purchase NVIDIA again.

If their workflow has strategic advantage or a need for CUDA, they should not be on the Mac platform in the first place.

That's not all that NVIDIA is good at. You've left out the RT and ML cores which, as it turns out, are completely and utterly game-changing for 3D workflows. In the article they mention being able to "multitask while a preview is rendering." With RT and ML cores you don't wait for previews at all. It's practically realtime. Corridor Crew, who use quality tools and not brands, have a video on this.

AMD has a major blindspot in the pro 3D tools arena. I'm tempted to guess that using integrated graphics would have made no difference to their experience whatsoever.

The Xeon is 16cores. It's okay, but a waste of money. 3D workflows wouldn't be using it if they had NVIDIA.

Finally, 3D software is notorious for being available on both Mac and Windows.
