750 ti - 960 - 970 users with 5 minutes to run a benchmark... Capture One

Hello there!

I'm in the planning part of my mackintosh build that will be 100% photo editing oriented. Photoshop is not a problem because any card will do OK, but Capture One is a little bit more demanding and the only benchmark available is in the app...

To run the benchmark you'll have to download the demo: Capture One Pro 8 - Phase One

In theory you should register, but anything followed by @gmail.com will do

Once installed and run in trial mode, please go to: ~/Library/Logs/

And find Capture one log that looks like this:

Obviously the interesting part is the OpenCL benchmark, in this case 0.566877 and the lower the better

For reference, a single mac pro's D700 is 0.11 and 5k imac's r9 295x is 0.16

Of course anyone posting his gpu's benchmark will be nice info.


Thanks!

here is 750Ti

Thank you very much Gurqn!

That small 750 Ti is very efficient, in fact is more powerful for this app than 2012 imac's 755M scoring 0.447520

Can't wait to see what scores I could get with the 960 and 970.

Come on... somebody with a 960-970 and 5 minutes to the rescue?

I don't have a 960, but this is from a 2009 Mac Pro with the firmware hack, a 6-core CPU, and an eVGA 750Ti Superclocked:

Thanks to everybody!

If someone with a 960 could do the test it would be perfect, I think it would be the sweet spot for my use, the 970 is a great performer but I'm not sure it's the best for me factoring price/performance.

Another 970:

This is an (Asus Strix) GTX960 with a BIOS tweaked to run it at 1400 MHz core clock and 8200 MHz effective memory rate, making it about 10% faster than an unmodified card.
