![]() My desktop PC draws 150 Watts during rendering. The (render-speed)/(power-demand) figure favors the M1 already now, though. I doubt the 2nd generation M* will be able to fully surpass dedicated GPUs - I mean they have been evolving for 20 years now, and NVidia sure know what they are doing.Īnyway, I am happy to play around with my new little toy (M1), and I like it! Instead of paying 1000€ for a decent GPU, it may make sense to wait for 2nd generation chips and purchase a new iMac or Mini (if they are updated with the M2 chips). Blackmagic Design released a beta of Resolve version 17.1 today. I have been following PC GPU markets since the annoucements of the RTX 3000 series, and due to shortages the prices are just insane. DaVinci Resolve is getting updated with support for Arm-powered Macs, and a beta version will be ready for owners on day one. Also, not all Mac applications natively support the M1 so they have to run in emulation or may not run at all until a new version is complied for M1. So you can not use boot camp to dual boot into windows. ![]() In my test video I applied some slow-motion effect with motion estimation, this seems to be too much for the M1, and is way faster on a dedicated GPU - even a very old one like my 1070. The M1 is ARM based vs X86 from older macs. Just tested with Resolve 17.1.1 Studio and was suprised that I was able to edit 5K/10bit HEVC (200Mbit/s) without any issues.įor basic HEVC and H.264 decoding (and therefore editing) the M1 seems plenty fast. ![]() I got the vanilla M1 MB Air to be my travel laptop (hopefully this summer).
