Re: CS6 is released - so what now?

[Jeremy Garchow] "openCL GPU support is new in Pr cs6.

Yeah, it ran real well on my laptop when I XMLed a project, so I'm guessing when it was buggy for me the evening before, it was because I was doing something odd with ProRES and had imported it improperly.


[Jeremy Garchow]"So, if you really want to stick with (Mac) OSX, your decisions are an older MacPro with a few "for real" CUDA cards, or newer and greener (in the experince sense) portable desktops"

I've got a GTX 285 in my 8 Core, so that should be worth something. I won't install till I get the full Suite, so I can't really test it out. But, I'm looking forward to it. I've upgraded from CS5, so I haven't really seen Mercury at its best, yet. I'm also looking forward to trying Media Composer/Symphony on the same machine. So far, I've just been using it on my laptop. I suppose I can always upgrade the 285 to a 4000, and double the RAM in my 8 Core, if I'm really smitten.

[Jeremy Garchow] "I, personally, am one of the people that's going to stick with OSX for as long as possible."

I go back and forth a lot. I liked my years in the Wintel world and was pretty much forced to MacVille, but now that I'm here...

[Jeremy Garchow] " An OS switch wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. But do you want to do it?"

I'm not sure I'd switch as much as add. Maybe get a PC and put Media Composer/Symphony on it. Then try CS6 via Cloud, and just see if I like it there. Of course, for me that's a big investment just to test the waters, so I'd need to be a lot closer to certain than I am now.
