So,had a discussion couple of days ago with a editor (avid,fcp) and asked him about getting a snappier gpu.4870 or like. Asked him if he had noticed any speed difference in his macs when using fcp or shake or color.
He just gave me a blank stare.
After that I tried to do a research of any kind of charts and statistics that GPUs actually help under any damn programs.Did find surprisingly little info.
-photoshop there should be some help in rotating and zooming. (****)
-lightroom is rumored to help in rendering the preview (right...)
-color should see big benefits (in final renders or refreshing the preview?)
-shake should be blazing! (in what?)
-fcp...
So.
Have we been fed a big,expensive lie or is there anything substantial out there but rumors that it "feels a bit snappier".
The render progs apparently utilize them well but...Yeah.
But?
