Slow performance - Upgrade?

PostMon Apr 15, 2013 12:19 am

Hello,

I just got my bmcc. I've got pretty poor perfomance in resolve.
Playback with max 15fps.

What can i do to this system to get better results? And should i get better results withing resolve version 10?

It's a 2011 model imac:

3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB
with a 250GB apple SSD (also 15fps max). And a 2TB sata drive (also 15fps).

Is there something i can do to improve speed/performance? Perhaps 32gb ram?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you'll ever get the dng to play much faster, that's a processor thing. Prores HD should be playing real time though...
