Can someone with an M3 Max (40-Core) help me with some video rendering comparisons? (M3 Pro owner)

[t.n.d.]

Long story short I got the base M3 Pro.

I wanted to render a video with Topaz Video AI (a BD I bought that looks bad) and I got a whooping 10 hours time of waiting for it.

If someone with a m3 Max puts up with me to download the video file and the Topaz software I’d be grateful. I just want to know what I missed out (I considered getting the m3 max at one point and said I’d never use the GPU, little did I know).

You don’t even have to render anything, I just want the initial estimation.

I think you have the right idea—try to collect test results for your own workflow. But this video should provide some additional info.:

I'm blown away with value of M1 16GB for 500$ used, vs M2U 128GB for 6500$ . in upscaling from 480i to 4k, M2U is twice as fast but it cost 13 times more...

Hey there, I have the m3 max and own the tapas software. Dm up with what you’d like tested 🙂

Good morning, would it be possible for me to try compiling my project in windows 11 ARM Parallels? 🙏🙏🙏

Would you happen to have either Adobe Acrobat Pro or Mathematica on your machine? There are a couple of tests I'd be interested in seeing done.

I'd be happy to, but I don't own parallels or windows 11. I'd need your keys.

I do have acrobat, but I'm not sure if it's Pro. I don't have Mathematica.

Thanks for your reply. For acrobat, this would tell you:

Thank you for your reply. Paralles 19 can be downloaded for free for 14 days, and Windows 11 also does not require a key to operate immediately.

Hey there, I tested with your file and its going to take 3 hours to do it at 6fps 🙂

Yep, I messed up not taking the max. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that! maybe sell yours and try to find a used one! Actually, I have a 16 core M3 Max 48gb 1tb with accidental AppleCare for 1year I'd let go for $3500. I ending up going with 8tb 128gb
