I am currently researching the most feasible way to deliver H.265 or Uncompressed 10-12bit with the fastest render benchmarks under Mac OSX.
With that being said, I have been researching into Hackintosh's yet the components that are for the current operating system (12.2.1) aren't that powerful, and Nvidia is not partnering up for coding compatibility GPU's with Apple lately including certain ATI Processors so that limits the components list naturally.
What are your benchmarks with your rigs? For example, 8K RAW 12bit H.265 output delivery times and any other high quality output parameters.
With our current specs, a reel of 45 videos is taking 27 hours+, not practical for our business.
We also have a budget since the 2022 Mac Pro with the Dual Radeon x6700 64gb and the Intel 2.43Ghz Xeon 24 core is 25,000$ so were trying to steer away from that price point in general.
Thank you!
8K RAW of what? ProRes RAW? BM RAW? RED raw?
You generally get better H265 encoding/decoding performance with NVidia cards.
If you want top-end performance, you are looking at multiple GPU solutions. With current PSUs, you are limited to 2 (maybe 3) 3090ti unless you use a PCIe extender box.
At a certain point you may need to consider the performance of your storage. You need to make sure you are feeding the system with data at the proper rate.
