Re: [Nuke-users] OT: iMac with 5K retina display worth it?

[Frank Rueter|OHUfx]

Thanks for the info, I had thought as much. That pretty much 
disqualifies the 5k one for me. I prefer a fast 2k display :)

We have a bunch of them. They work great, but haven’t used Studio
(or Hiero) but I don’t think you get GPU support in X. I can check
later.

Hi all,

sorry for the OT but I was wondering if anybody has had any
experience running Nuke (or Hiero) on a new iMac with 5k retina
display?
I'm a bit suspicious about the whole 5k monitor hype, and seeing
the one without retina display comes with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX
780M, while the 5K retina model comes with an AMD Radeon, I'm
wondering if the latter would even get GPU support in Nuke?

Any info would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
frank

I think you would be better off with an entry level Mac Pro or if you can 
stretch the 6 core with the 500 series card. Once the dual GPU kick in on the 
Mac Pro it will handily beat any iMac.

iMac's can be very fast, the main caveat is when you need to replace the
hard drive, it gets a bit crazy, or costly with a repair shop.
