As ya'll who know me know, I run a small indie production company and the heart of it is my 2019 Mac Pro 7.1 It's a 28-Core with 2 W6800X Duos and in GPU Rendering Tests it is equivalent to roughly about 33% under 3 RTX 3090's.
Recently it's been revealed that the RTX 4090's are roughly 30% faster than the RTX 3090's...meaning 1 W6800X Duo is about equivalent to 1 RTX 4090 "and first of all, holy hell that 4090 is a powerful card considering 1 w6800x duo is literally TWO w6800x's lol"...
But that said, that places my machine at right around a PC with 2 RTX 4090's in it, obviously future proofing it in it's current state for a good 5 years, and that's NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the w7800x Duo's that are also right around the corner.
SO HERE'S THE QUESTION! WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT SPECS AND WHAT DOES THE 2023 MAC PRO 8.1 NEED TO OFFER TO GET YOU GUYS TO SELL YOUR CURRENT SETUP AND REPLACE WITH THE 8.1???
For me as things are now, I've realized there is an exact combination of things that will get me to jump on board...
1. A CPU 3D rendering performance equivalent to a 64-Core Threadripper.
2. PCIe V5 Support.
3. MPX MODULE GPU Support
4. Internal Storage Expandability
5. Support for Expandability to 1.5TB of Ram
If that new machine is running an M2X as a beating heart, and ALSO has these 5 things...I'm all in.
