Mac Gpu Benchmark

This is a very powerful Mac mini pro. 12 CPU, 19 GPU Cores, 32G, 1TB SSD GbE model. This high end version is snappier than the 10 core model that I have. It will do anything that I have thrown at it and is not noticeably slower than an M3 Max, laptop, in day-to-day operations. Highly recommended.

As a Classic Mac Pro 4,1 user - now upgraded to 5,1 and with a Metal capable GPU - my original system hard-drive (2009) with earlier Mac OS was not mounting as there are incompatibility issues with trying to use the original GPU and the 'newer' Metal GPU when both are installed. All the files (not the original OS's) mounted on this device were recognised by the current OS (2019) as a USB 3 external hard drive. No problems.

The 2018 Mac Mini I purchased is working great. I chose the 3.2Ghz i7 6 core, 8GB 256GB Gigibit Ethernet model. I replaced the 8GB of RAM with 32GB. The system is very fast, in some cases so fast you don’t realize the function has been done. The downside is the GPU which is weak BUT that can be improved with an external GPU via one of the 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports. There are only 2 USB 3 ports which can be added to by means of external hubs . If you want a simple setup that can be accomplished or a more complex one, it depends on what you want. That’s the beauty of the Mac Mini. You can spend as much or as little as you want. My configuration was a modest $1249.00 to which I added the Apple external Optical drive. Even adding a monitor still added a small cost but much less than a new iMac. If you have the monitor, keyboard and mouse then the cost can be quite low or expensive depending how you configure the system. All in all a great performing and great looking system.

I've only just begun to get used to the new rig so this write up will serve more as a commentary at this point, but I expect the transition will be smooth and am now convinced that it was the perfect time for an upgrade. It's pricey (what Apple product isn't?), but well worth the expense if you are already working with Mac hardware. I purchased this Mac Pro as an upgrade for a early 2009. While still a trusty workhorse, it is getting a bit long in the tooth, and really isn't suitable for 4K, which for us, is just over the horizon. The mix of features it provides are ideal a solid GPU, plenty of memory with room to upgrade, high-performance expansion capability (Thunderbolt 2, USB3.0, HDMI 1.4) and compact size. My home is my studio, so freeing up physical workspace is a must, as my gear load is certainly not getting any smaller. I have to comment on the design it really does look like a goofy little trashcan (albeit lovingly crafted), or some sort of droid reject from star wars: it's certainly hefty enough. Cute though: it's tiny compared to the 2009! It's really startling when you have them sitting side by side in the studio. The performance, as expected, is excellent thanks to the modern processors, GPU and the SSD. There is not much in the way of local storage space, but it's more than adequate for OS X and applications. Anyone working with video on a regular basis isn't going to waste time with internal storage anyhow - external expansion is a must. Instead of choosing PCIe Expansion chassis I bought a $699 highpoint rocketstor6328 thunderbolt2 raid adapter which allow me to connect g-speed minisas configured with RAID 6, hp LTO6 drives and even my esata drives. It's a owesome Thunderbolt2 RAID Adapter so basically any devices with minisas or eSATA you can simply make them accessible to the new Macpro! I'm quite satisfied that my money was well spent at this moment. For anybody with an older Mac Pro, now is a good time to take the plunge.

best gpu i ever used i even had the 7900xtx and this is way better!

It sounds really great. I love it. I love Benchmark.... Full Stop.

Lens protection and UV control. B+W are the benchmark for me, I will not accept less than the best.

As good as you can get for the price, B & W is a great benchmark filter

great gpu

very nice gpu
