I was looking around for older Intel based Mac Pro or older M1 Studio and I found a few unopened Mac Pro 2019 with 96gb and a Radeon pro w5500 gpu for about 2K USD and base model M1 Max studio with 32gb for the 1K. Are the older Intel Mac Pro and M1 Max studio very capable for indie feature editing and particularly color grading with Resolve? With my limited knowledge of Apple Mac Pro, I do know they were the cream of the crop during their days and were heavily used in post houses.
BTW, most of my projects are indie shorts and features of up to 100 minutes, ingesting raw and ProRes mostly up to 6K @ 60fps at the most, and delivering mostly in FHD or 4K in intermediate formats or H.265, and some DCP generation. My current system chokes on 6K when I use over 20 nodes hence looking for the upgrade.
Also, on the Intel 2019 MacPro, can the gpu be upgraded with the Radeon RTX 7700 XTX and the DeckLink 4K PCI use on it?
