I wish I had waited a little longer and bought the Retina iMac. Apple's 4K support for the new Mac Pro is awful. They have no monitors to offer themselves and the 3rd party ones all have some kind of issue, especially with sleep/wake. The forums are full of people having problems with 4K monitors.
It's not clear to me that Adobe is even using both GPU's in the 2013 Mac Pro as the OS doesn't even really support it. Nothing in LR tells you it sees two D700's. I like the quiet, compact hardware form but Apple has been woefully slow to optimize their OS for it.
I'm almost thinking that it makes a better Windows platform as at least then you would have drivers to fully take advantage of the hardware....Show more →
Did you see a performance boost when you switched to LR6? My current iMac is not the retina, but I saw a definite boost when I switched to LR6.
Like I said, my theory was the Mac Pro would be the best LR6 machine with those dual FirePro cards, but apparently the 295x GPU (cost an extra $250) in the Retina iMac is faster than the two GPU's in the Mac Pro...
I'm just a guy who spends 3-8 hours a day in LR. So I'll buy whatever is fastest. Thinking about taking a wedding into the Apple Store and trying the Mac Pro
