Will this iMac run DaVinci Resolve?
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2019 10:29 am
Hi,
I want to buy a used iMac to work with DaVinci Resolve (can't afford a newer one) and would appreciate some help here a lot. I have two options and was wondering if one of the iMacs with the following specs would run DaVinci Resolve?
Most of all I'm not sure about the whole OpenCL/CADU compatibility regarding the graphics chip.
OPTION A:
iMac Mid 2010
Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6
2.8GHz Intel Core i5
22 GB RAM (1333 MHz DDR3)
512 GB SSD Drive
1TB HD Drive
ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024MB
OPTION B:
iMac Mid 2010
Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6
3.06GHz Intel Core i3
8 GB RAM (1333 MHz DDR3) (could be upgraded)
1TB SSHD (Flash & HDD combined)
ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB
I'm not exactly an expert with this, thanks a lot for your help
