new iMacs (oct 2015) and 4k ?

PostMon Oct 26, 2015 8:41 am

Hi guys,

I was wondering if with a max configured new iMac I will be able to do noise reduction without having low gpu memory problems. (new models have 4GB gpu).

Thanks

Nobody knows before having tried with the same codec, resolution, setting in Resolve and hardware configuration.

You'll need max GPU power and also max CPU. Fast SSD for cache and programs + min. 24 GB RAM (can be uogeaded/ installed by yourself easily).
Footage should be on fast RAIDs via Thunderbolt.

Then it should work.
But there's no guarantee...

I work with 4k XAVC on my late 2012 iMac (i7 3.4GHz, 24GB RAM, GTX680MX 2GB, 3TB Fusion drive for programs + cache). Footage comes from a 2bay RAID via Thunderbolt.

It runs okay until you add some processing intensive or more than 2 regular correction nodes.
Optical flow like TNR does not run fluidly...
