In this Episode of the ColorCast, the Coloristos benchmark the 2013 Mac Pro and discuss it's performance results compared to a 2010 12-Core model with Resolve 10 using a number of different GPUs in both OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

They cover the pros and cons of buying a 2013 Mac Pro versus upgrading a 2010 machine, and discuss the major points that colorists and online editors will want to consider before purchase including 4K Playback, RED debayer, and Sapphire OFX plugin performance.
