if not, you’ll be fine with the M1 Max or Ultra. Never buy the base model and get as much RAM as you can. I more than got my dollars back on those boxes and as a testament to their usefulness, I bought what I could afford then and was rewarded for it for many years. But I can’t run Resolve 17 and some other software anymore, and playing back 4K video on those machines is not ideal. Regarding obsolescence, I have multiple 2011 MacPro towers with upgraded graphics cards, SSDs and maxed out RAM still running Mojave great. Buying the most you can afford will get you through a lot of that.
Yes, there will always be something new coming down the road – new chips, new connectors, new software. Maybe you’ll start to do more 4K work in the future? You’ll be prepared. I don’t think the Ultra is completely necessary for only doing HD work, but in my experience, it’s always good to buy the best you can afford at the time of your purchase. It mostly eats through noise reduction effects like they are not in the timeline. I’ve been running the Ultra and am very impressed with the performance compared to the 2013 Trash Can it is replacing. That’s my impression watching this situation for the past 6 months. Might be like buying 4 liters of milk with a best-before-date of next week, when 2 will get you through. The Ultra is 2 Maxes, stacked on top of each other.
In any event, if you are doing primarily HD with occasional 4K, the Max is likely going to be just fine for awhile. My iMac5K doesn’t have a Thunderbolt3 slot, consequently adding an eGPU is a non-starter.īut to your question about Max/Ultra probably neither until the M2 version is released, or the M2 MacBookPro M2 might be a viable option when it is released. macOS won’t support the 3xTitanBlack nVidia cards, so that’s done.
I can’t run Resolve17 on my faithful MacPro_2010 anymore. 😂 Apple is going to *obsolete* (and app developers are accelerating the process) so that anything over a few years old won’t work with anything coming down the pipe. I am semi-retired and the hardware that I have kept over is headed for recycling as well. A matter of some however slight interest to me as well.
