Do I need to purchase a new graphics card? I use my hackintosh for FCPX only. I have a separate machine for work, this needs to be my workhorse for editing. Since upgrading to 10.3.3 I have rendering issues, playback issues, and running the bruce x 5k test took ages in comparison to others on here.
It has:
Mac Os 10.3.3 - FCP 10.4
Skylake i7-6700K 4ghz
16gb ram
Nvidia GTX 960 2gig
Bruce 5k test - 83 seconds
Please can someone advise as to what I need to do to speed this up. Thank you.
I managed to use the script that benjamin.dobell put together and that has saved me alot of time, as with the latest driver it took 20 minutes to do the bruce test, i know shocking...
Yeah, I never quite understood the Quicksync thing. Made no difference to me either. Your GPU is king! Radeon definitely rules. Question is though if BruceX test is what you really do every day in FCPX.MacOS 10.13.3
Z97
i7-4790K
16gb Ram
Nitro+ RX 580 8gb Special Edition
BruceX = 16 seconds (with or without Intel Quicksync enabled)
Your setup is king. But your graphics card is not what FCPX wants. I have same setup but RX560 4GB and it gives me 27 sec. RX580 gives me 14 sec.10.13.3 - FCP: 10.4
i7 7700K
32GB DDR4 RAM
Gigabyte Z270XP-SLI
Gigabyte 1050 TI 4GB
Samsung 960 EVO NVMe 500GB
I'm seeing around 2 minutes...can't seem to resolve this. Any advice?
