Re: [Avid-L2] Mid 2012 MacPro CPU Upgrade?

 

Mine plays fine and it's a 2.66 


Maybe it's a storage problem?

Got my computer back with the 3.46 12 core and alas at first it played the ProResHQ in 10bit but then started the stuttery playback.  Don't know why same Avid version plays fine at work but not at home.  Maybe I should try disconnecting the expansion chassis?  Don't know why that would interfere but you never know.

John, I may want to do that once you get a bid. And, of course, once you know if it makes any difference.

I'm eyeing the new cheesegrater, but may just jump back to windoze instead. For now, it's cheesegrater.

Sure glad I invested in the nVidia cards for resolve though. Ahhrrrggg!

In light of my recent ProResHQ performance issues in Avid this seems like a possible stop gap to prolong the viability of my trusty old cheese grater. Perhaps the new MacPro will be something I consider down the line but for now I have to make do with what I have.

This may be a bone head worry but in the past I've seen things like swapping the network card unlicense some software because it some how referenced something on the network card for part of the registration. If memory serves me moving pictures was one plug in prone to this. Maybe that's all a moot point but I'm curious if anyone has any experience with upgrading the cpu only on a workstation.

I'm on an Avid and Sapphire Dongle so those aren't likely to faulter but what about BCC etc... I'm probably overthinking this. Can someone talk me off this ones and zeros ledge? ;-)
