Which Model Pro... Drew ?
So this is a sorta copy/paste from NeilBurger's question from the Cert Board that nobody has answered.
Which machine to buy for PRO, On-Set, Tethered shooting.
I'm not talking about 75000 images in catalogs, or weddings, or anything other than On Set tethered shooting. Phase & Canons.
As a tech working 20 days a month I get lip from photogs asking why I don't have a "New" Pro. Well I say, I'm still not sold its better than one of my solid 8 core 2011 tower rigs. (which to my knowledge only uses ONE core anyway)
Shall I try it out on Your job, with Your clients watching? No.
But or SO ... if C1 still only uses 1 core to ingest, generate previews, save to disk and run Capture Pilot it seems on paper the 4 core 3.7 with the big graphics card is the trick.
Drew, or someone with inside knowledge ...?
This is a serious question as some of us make our livings and feed our families with this stuff (and the 85K in Phase EQ) (thanks for the last firmware update by the way)
IS it the:
3.7GHz quad-core with 10MB of L3 cache
3.5GHz 6-core with 12MB of L3 cache
3.0GHz 8-core with 25MB of L3 cache
2.7GHz 12-core with 30MB of L3 cache
Thanks ....

Hi Steve, Lloyd from MPG has made a few tests
http://macperformanceguide.com/MacPro20 ... kflow.html
- A load of great reading to help you choose!
I went for 6 core with D300s and more ram + 1TB SSD, vs D500s. Now open CL works with latest Apple & C1 updates, it's slightly quicker than non CL at outputting images and it feels very stable (possibly the most stable set up I've experienced yet) and very responsive and no black squares that many were complaining of.
Handles solidly under heavy capture tether, I'm seeing real world improvements of nearly 4x on outputting images, and 2x- 4x on general use and capture (with canon, not tested with a Phase back yet) also imagine any cameras that can transmit by USB3 or thunderbolt will be significantly quicker on capture. Compared to specced out 2011 MBP i7 quad ssd, and 2010 Mac Pro quad maxed out ssd etc.
It's also amazingly small, portable and very very quick to grab box up and take on a job. 😄
I'd also say there are better speed gains with C1 than photoshop, but thats mainly a core usage issue too from photoshop, and seems/feels like C1 is utilising more power from the new Mac Po than PS can.0 -
I too am very interested in this discussion being a Digi and currently renting out a specced out MBPRO. Last week we had the 12 core Mac Pro, D7000's, 32GB RAM, and was slightly underwhelmed with the performance. While processing a bunch of 170mb TIFF's it was using around 5-10% if each core at best, and processing speed didn't appear to be out of the ordinary.
I'm kinda hoping future releases of Capture One would provide more support for the Mac Pro, until then I will be holding onto my money!0 -
I've go the Quad with D300's/32gb and find it plenty fast enough for tethering with my 1DX.
12 cores/d700's seems overkill unless you are doing video?
In time software (not just C1) will be hopefully written that takes advantage of the dual GPU's, I'm guessing in the next version of C1 as PhaseOne have been very good at taking advantage of hardware, that's probably why the 12core feels sluggish.
Shame it's taking so long as we are 7 months since release, and to my very limited knowledge, there are only a few titles on that uses both GPU's (Pixlemator and FCP to name a couple.)
A big problem seems to be the graphics drivers Apple release, maybe 10.10 will help...0 -
I'm wondering if anyone has any further insight on which Mac Pro is best for Capture One - tethering is the most important feature for me not processing.
Will be used with DSLR's mostly and Phase back occasionally.
3.5 6core or 3.0 8 core?0
