So I'm assuming it's not a hardware issue, or something wrong with my media drives, etc.but a software one. This is on material that I've had for years, and never had an issue playing back on previous generations of MC software. Drops lots of frames and falls out of synch.

The most odd thing, is that playing back even something as low-overhead as DNxHD 36 with one RT 1:1:66 mask at 'green' quality – my machine can't keep up.

#BEST VIDEO CARD FOR MAC PRO 2012 UPGRADE#
I'm not sure the video card upgrade will help, but it might be worth a try. Thanks for the threads re performance, etc. Not necessarily for MC, but for other apps running concurrently. They even have a wizard to get you started:Ģ010 Mac Pro still has plenty of life left in it. Great rep and amazing selection of cards. It's not available from OWC today, but it seems to come back in stock from time to time.Īt this stage, I'd recommend getting a card from. (That must've really improved in 8.6 because I have a GTX 680 w/2GB RAM and I still have to transcode UHD AVCHD from a Panasonic DVX200 in MC 8.4.4 to play back anything.)Įnough caveats. Now it looks like it could be realtime performance for resource-intensive formats over AMA (or whatever they're calling it now). In the past, it was limited to third-party AVX plugins. I'm still fuzzy on what operations MC actually offloads to the GPU. Looks like there's trouble with 8.6, even with stock Apple GPU's.
