How would you practically notice the difference of GPU (M1Pro vs M1Max)

[Micka88]

There are many comparing graphs, benchmarks etc. but I just wonder how it would be in real life: when you have MBP 16 with M1 Pro or M1 Max. What that more powerful GPU will bring you practically ? Is it correct that

1) If you watch (4k) movies, look at photos, edit RAW photos etc - it will be exactly the same on both ? Not a different look (more detailed on M1 Max) ?

2) In case of audio work, texts, browsing etc. - no difference ?

3) When you render videos and photos M1 Max will render it significantly faster ?

4) when working on videos (like in DaVinci), non-extreme editing, colour grading etc will work ok on both ? (incl. live playback with plugins, applied LUTs etc?

So where and when will you feel the biggest difference between both ?

It's one of those things that if you have to ask, then you probably don't need it.

GPU have a good number of uses beyond just playing games. They're typically great at performing simple calculations at a very high rate of speed. This makes it great for things like vector work, machine learning, bitcoin mining, etc. How much you'll notice it really depends on the work you're doing and how well that particular program has been written to take advantage of a GPU.
