In order to do this we used a single 1TB PCIe SSD drive and 64GB of RAM on our BIZON PC workstations, even though we’d usually recommend a little less RAM and multiple internal storage drives when using Resolve.

Warranty: AppleCare+ for iMac (3 yr limited warranty & telephone technical support)Īt BIZON we always make sure that our tests are realistic and as fair as possible, so we try to keep the specs and prices as similar as we can.Keyboard + Mouse: Space Gray Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad + Magic Mouse 2.Monitor: 27-inch LED-backlit 5K display.Additional HDD (Storage): Not available.Graphics Card: Radeon Pro Vega 64 with 16GB.Processor: 3.0GHz 10-core Intel Xeon W processor.If you love charts you’ll love taking a look at the data, however, you can always skip the charts if you don’t fancy the visuals. To make a comparison we took two high-end iMac Pro’s along with an old Mac Pro and tested them against three similarly priced PCs. However, the iMac Pro and Mac Pro are the best Apple has to offer, that’s why we decided to check how they compare with a PC. Resolve works better with multiple GPUs and is optimized for CUDA, which is only available on NVIDIA GPUs.Īpple uses AMD GPUs and only Mac Pro has more than a single card, plus you can easily get dual, triple, or quad GPU configurations with a PC. You might think that the Mac Pro and iMac Pro aren’t really optimized to use DaVinci Resolve 14 and you’d be right. However, at BIZON we decided to go one step further and test their performance when using DaVinci Resolve 14 application. Our previous article compared the performance of the iMac Pro and Mac Pro to a PC when using Premier Pro 2019. As workflows have increased from 4K, 6K, and even 8K in some places, it is important to make the right choice for optimum performance. We find whether DaVinci Resolve 14 performs better on iMac Pro, Mac Pro or PC.Īt BIZON a lot of our customers want to switch from a Mac to a PC Workstation.
