Think about it: you're paying $1,800 for a reasonably quick PC with a 5K display attached. Just don't expect this to amount to a Mac in a pretty ATX case.Ĭalling the 5K iMac "incredibly powerful" is a bit hyperbolic, but it is a pretty capable system for the money. You will very likely have more control over cards and other peripherals it's just a question of how.

NVIDIA just released beta drivers for Pascal-based GPUs, and many suspect this is actually a hint that Apple will make a move back to using NVIDIA graphics in some systems.Īpple was very explicit in saying that the next Mac Pro would be expandable and modular. Who really thinks they're going to make the new Mac Pros truly user-serviceable?Īnd who else couldn't help but either cringe or laugh when they called the 5K iMac "incredibly powerful?" In all seriousness, I have a lot of trouble seeing Apple as anything but a joke at this point. well that sums up everything you've said so far really.Ĭan't wait for the $1,200 top-end proprietary-connection unibody Apple D480, which will totally not be a slightly modified RX480 in an aluminum block. Your $2000 budget wouldn't even cover one of those GPUs if you were to buy them from AMD for a Windows/Linux machine, let alone the rest of the system.Īs for your inane ranting about it not containing Ryzen back in 2013. Wipe the froth from your mouth and come back when you can form a coherent thought. will have a 30-40% markup before it hits retail. I would commend this is it was priced realistically within the pc market. listed here and im sure its well deep in the 5 figure price range. Looking at the specs for the apple pro going to be out sometime within the near future is impressive, i wont lie. I cant wait to spend what ive worked hard for on tech that is almost 5 years old for a decent used vehicle premium. 3 flippin grand man? This is truly pathetic. These specs, within this form factor are sub par to my build on my desk right now for half the price. Instead of riding Apples crotch wagon, open your horizons and redefine your definition of what an ignorant comment is, when its true that these specs, THESE SPECS right here are the cause for argument?!ĭual AMD FirePro D500 with 3GB GDDR5 VRAM each So you're superiority complex is irrelevant. I could go build a $2,000 system, that actually looks GOOD, and with 2 graphics cards in SLI mode, and i could produce, render, create, master, mix, produce, record, stream, just as well if not better. Because anyone who NEEDS a mac pro with max specs and the whole 9 yards in a Supremely small form factor? Its unrealistic. I'll disregard any incoming logic" Vibe from you. Since I'm getting the whole "Well it says apple? That Justifies the Hike in prices? Sounds good. Regardless of the Kabby Cake or Sandy Cringe Zeltron CPU's in those metal toilets, you can go pick yourself up any processor on the market Such as Ryzen's Line up or intels i7 K Series Lineup without compromising any sort of performance. Do it yourself if you have an ounce of common sense and SAVE yourself tons of money with the do it yourself equivalent. It's the main reason I ended up going to a custom x99 build, and bloody hell do I miss the MP for some stuff.įirst of all cupcake i didn't say you could build a replica mac pro for 600 bucks. All far too hot and power hungry to be tuned or fit into the enclosure. The only GPUs available until Polaris were Hawaii and Fiji.

Although people forget AMD provided no options for Apple there. Their biggest issue was the non upgradable GPUs. They also were fantastic value as you mentioned. Each.īut yeah by all means, not at all anything a pro would be interested in.Īctually came with Ivy Bridge-which is why it still holds up rather well today. When they were new these GPUs cost $4000. The idea that you could "build this yourself and save $600" as is frankly laughable. They were obscenely good value to buy, and the rendering and computational horsepower in there is still monstrous by today's standard. These machines had 6 or 8 Core Sandy Bridge Xeons and two AMD FirePro W9000 GPUs and altogether cost less than a single W9000 were you to buy it to build a Windows or Linux workstation for yourself, and did it in a ridiculously small form factor. You weren't the only one, some ignorant remark about these costing over 2 grand for an i5

This kind of comment really makes me doubt the tech understanding of people who frequent tech forums, and how much of it is "i hert appl iz bad so they mus b bad loool". So apple is finally going to create new hardware for actual pros and not starbucks pros?
