While the GPU gains are large, the stunning disappointment is that the D700 and D500 GPUs offer essentialy no gain over the entry-level D300 GPUs. The 8-core sees a ~58% reduction, which makes sense, since its CPU performance is faster than the 6-core, and both machines have the D500 GPUs. It’s not clear if both GPUs are being used. WOW! The 2013 3.5 GHz 6-core shows a 63% reduction in runtime-a ~2.7 X speed difference with “hardware acceleration” enabled (what PhaseOne calls the GPU). UPDATE April 21, 2014- according to Lionel Kuhlmann, R&D Manager at Phase One, a future (2014) version of Capture One will fully utilize all the installed GPUs in the system, whereas version 7.2.1 of Capture One Pro utilizes only 1 GPU, so the results on this page can only get better in the future version. However, it also uses CPU cores as well, and so there is an interplay between the two. PhaseOne CaptureOne Pro delivers on that promise. Support for a fast graphics processor (GPU) holds huge potential. 64GB memory kit for 2013 Mac Pro provided by OWC.
