Hi All.
I am considering a Mac Pro purchase and have some questions around the spec and specifically the graphics options.
First of all, my use case is going to be mainly working with 4k video in Final Cut Pro - I do a little bit of audio work, but mainly video. I would like to drive 2 Pro Display XDR's also.
In this case, would you go for 2 x Radeon Pro W5700X's or just 1 x Pro Vega II (my budget won't stretch much further than that).
Although the Vega II seems to be priced as the better card, I would be interested if anyone could enlighten me as to why the W5700X can drive 3 Pro Display XDR's where as the Vega II can only drive two (making it sound less powerful, but im sure it's not as simple as that).
Also, I wonder if the system would work better with 2 x 5700X's driving one Pro Display each, rather than having two of them running off a single Vega II?
Finally, I would be keen to understand the difference between GDDR6 and HBM2 memory on the 2 cards.
Many thanks
