Re: Is Smoke 2013 already futureless because of Arrogance and Apple?

[walter biscardi] "I'm running Davinci Resolve on my iMac at home and it actually runs just fine, even with an ATI card in there. I wouldn't have any issue running a client driven session with that machine and it's 2 years old."

I may be wrong, but I doubt you're running projects reading R3D files shot on 4K.I have the latest Mac mini at home with their top option graphics card, and it's still very slow comparing to my Mac Pro, not for Final Cut stuff, but for After Effects for example it is.

I think you're going to see the real difference when you'll need to start getting things done in After Effects, even at the shop where I work, a regular Mac Pro octo without a Quadro 4000 just drags and takes forever to get anything done.

I think in my opinion all this iMac displays is not really an indication where the industry is moving, I think it's more a way to try to see if we can stay on the Mac with the iMac, maybe even a denial of a situation that seem inevitable. In any case, vendors where having iMacs to showcase, and they're not going to show you stuff that runs slow on a demo at NAB.
