    I'd also like to chime in that, in order to keep this relatively scientific, don't apply any LCCs or spot/dust corrections as they will artificially increase processing times beyond the base you're looking for.

    Also worth noting is the OS version and, if necessary, third party GPU drivers.

    Mentioned by last poster before me, exporting to JPEG 100%.

    It hasn't been specified and it will impact the comparison.

    Thanks for the reminder - though this was already in the original post.

    ....I just added the specifics in bold/italic.....because bold is never enough. 😂

    Here's my benchmark

    Exporting 12 RAW files to 100% quality JPGs:
    C1P10.2, late 2015 27"iMac, 4GHZ i7, 24GB Ram, 1 TB Fusion, external SSD vis USB3, AMD Radeon R9 M390 2048 MB. All COP files and image files on the SSD
    Sony A7S, ARW files (about 13MB)
    GPU acceleration = 7 seconds
    CPU only = 9 seconds

    Shouldn't they be the same set of images?

    If you want to be scientific about it, sure. But considering I never work on the same 12 images, and I work with a variety of cameras, variety is good in this case. I'm just going for a general idea.

    Please also take a look in the sister-thread in the Windows forum. There are a lot of good input, that translates directly to mac as well.

    I restarted my computer - made sure nothing was working in the background and reran a few tests...

    C1P10.1.2.26,
    Mac Pro 2.66GHz QuadCore Xeon W3520, Sapphire Radeon HD 7950, 24GB ram, Internal 2TB 7200RPM WD Black Drive

    Fuji X-T2
    GPU = 44 seconds

    Bumping this hoping someone with a 2017 iMac will chime in - preferably with a D810 or D750.

    BTW, there's a sister thread happening with the same testing on the Windows side...

    I have a 2017 iMac 27" 5K with 8GB RAM, 3.8Ghz i5 CPU and Radeon 580 GPU running Mac OS 10.12.6

    I use a Nikon D750 and exported the same 12 files both times at around 28-33 MB per file. Exported as 100% jpeg to an internal SSD.

    Not sure I ran the test as requested i.e. not sure if I turned off GPU on exports. All I did was go to Preferences and choose never use Open CL for processing and restarted the computer between tests.

    With Open CL for processing set in preferences 15 secs, without Open Cl used for processing 16 secs. Just using my watch for timing. So I saw no difference.

    If I did not do this correctly please tell me how to turn off the GPU.

    To turn off the GPU, open Capture One, then click on CaptureOne on the top menubar, then Preferences.
    When the preferences window opens, click on the General tab (that tab is probably already active).
    About halfway down there is a section "Hardware Acceleration (Use OpenCL for)" (OpenCL is the interface that an COP uses to acccess the GPU)
    Set the fields "Display" and "Processing" to "never" to turn off the use of the GPU.
    Close the Preferences window.
