Hey Guys,
I have been very happy with my iMac Pro (10 Core, 64gb ram, 1tb) for about a full week now. Today I decided to network it with a switch in my home to get better hardline speeds.
I have a Tp-Link SG105 5 port switch that is about as simple of a device you can get.
connected to it is...
Hello! I plan to upgrade my Mac Pro 5.1 to the new iMac Pro for photo and video editing. My main income is from landscape photography and I have around 3 TB of photos and video. I currently have it all stored on two harddrives in the Mac Pro (raid), and external timemachine backup. My idea is to...
After I had some problems on two iMacs, I am thinking to buy an iMac Pro but I am quite shocked about how many people are having some problems (I read about backlight problems, startup issues, display wifi speed problem, etc.)
My question is: are you happy with your new purchase? or your iMac...
Hi all,
I've been considering getting an iMac Pro as my current one is extremely old. As of now, I'm stuck between two options. Both are the same price but I'd like opinions on which one is better. The two configs are as follow:
Configuration 1:
3.2GHz 8-core Intel Xeon W processor, Turbo...
Note: before reading below, yes I do realize that the iMac Pro is not for gaming. I do CGI and dev work. However, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of boot camp gaming on the side. If you're thinking is in line with mine, you'd be sadden to discover that the drivers provided by Apple *WILL...
Hi everyone. I've already ordered the 18 core fully speced iMac Pro. But now am second-guessing and thinking that since After Effects has lost its multi-threading abilities since 2015, maybe I'm better off with a 10 core that has a higher clock speed. Does anyone have any insights or experience...
Now that many are getting their shiny new IMP's up and running. I am curious what accessories you are finding to fill in the blanks.
I've been using a Mac Pro for several years now, but still have two 12South Risers. They are not Space Grey, but will do the job. I like them for storage of my...
Hi everyone,
Lately I'm following this forum for information related to the iMac Pro as I'm thinking to get one. I want to get with the configuration: 10Core, 2GB SSD and 64GB memory. However I don't know if I should stay with the Vega 56 (8Gb) or should upgrade it to Vega 64 (16GB) ?
I'm...
Hi,
I do some video editing (1080p at the moment and 4k in the future) and podcasting.
I am well aware, that this is some pretty light work and that the iMac Pro is total overkill for that.
Nevertheless, I have a budget of $5.000 that I will either spend on:
- a 15'' MacBook Pro + a 5k display...
Hey Everyone, I am in the Market for a new Mac. I have a maxed out 2014 Retina Imac. I am not very satisfied with the SSD speed (internal 256 SSD) especially, and I would like programms to open much faster.
And: The Computer is written off as an expense after 3 years, so to save tax a new one...
Just ordered an iMac Pro to see what underlaying architecture changes there. I want to test the secure enclave and what it will and won't let you do from a Mac admin point of view - if we can still boot from external drives and restore in times of need - if it's possible to disable these...
I calculate the 18 core would be approx 20% faster than the 10. However that’s just multiplying numbers... Does anyone know how the larger L3 memory would factor into speed? Single treaded it looks like the 10 core is 5% faster than the 18 core... For arguments sake, assume cost is not a factor...
I currently have the latest high end iMac (4.2 ghz Intel Core i7) with 32GB ram. I’m trying to decide if an upgrade to the 8-Core iMac Pro would be a significant enough upgrade to make the price worth it.
I am a photographer and I work with 80MP - 100MP raw files. Here are my typical use cases...
Hi there,
I am thinking about buying the new iMac Pro.
First of all: I know that every user prefers different configuration depending on their type of work, etc. So everything is highly subjective.
Coming from the base model of the iMac Pro, which components should be upgraded? CPU (more cores...
Hello my fellow Apple-savvy people..!
The last week I was seeing again the official 2017 WWDC video feed.Being a user involved in numerical simulations, higher CPU taxing uses (as computational chemistry calculations) and not using a lot of graphic power, but needing a lot of storage and fast...
I currently have the entry level cylinder 4-core Mac Pro; w/ 16gb RAM (up from the stock 12gb) with a dual 1080p monitor set up. I do a bit of video editing as it's my side job and I also produce short films hoping to break in as a film maker. Currently I only edit video in 1080p but I do want...
