Hi all
Recently I've built my first hackintosh:
GA-Z77X-UD5H
intel i2700k
asus gtx670
32GB ram
So far it works great and problem free… with the exception of FCPX 10.0.7 and Motion 5.0.6, where I'm noticing much worse performance than on my 2011 macbook pro (i7 2GHz, 8GB ram and Ati6490) running on SL 10.6.8. An example - on my macbook a simple Motion 5 project, with a 1080p 50fps h264 video clip on the timeline plays at around 15fps. Switching playback render resolution to half, I get smooth 50 fps. On my hackintosh I get 8-12fps no matter what resolution setting I have selected. Other example is Swarm composition that is shipped with Motion. Swarm-Open plays at 20fps on my mackbook, and only 14fps on hackintosh. The only exception I've noticed, where my hackintosh is faster than macbook is in Atmospheric composition, where mbp plays at 20fps, and hackintosh at smooth 30fps. In FCPX I also see that my hackintosh is performing much worse than macbook, which is very surprising to me, as the hardware of my PC is much more powerfull. I have OpenCL setup and running on my hackintosh, and in Luxmark2 my "fake mac pro" destroys mackbook in all test (CPU/GPU). I got a feeling than FCPX and Motion do not like gtx670, and do not use it to speed up rendering. Cannot confirm it, as I could not find any working GPU monitor, that could show GPU utilization, while running Motion or FCPX. Apple support site (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664) does not list GTX670 as compatible, so I'm wondering if these two programs do not only check opencl availability but also GPU chip. Anyone out there having nvidia gtx660/670/680 having the same issue ? Does anyone know if and how to improve fcpx/motion performance, or how to further debug this issue? How many fps do you guys get with those standard Motion compositions on your hackintosh machines? Dunno maybe it's just that FCPX/Motion work much slower on Mountain Lion compared to Snow Leopard ?
cheers
