Ed_David Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Anyone notice anything worse about the Davinci Resolve PC version over the Mac version?Because I think I am jumping ship from apple to PC - the Thinkpad p50 seems like a mac pro but $2000 cheaper - and all I really need is resolve to edit my stuff and color.I'm pretty much done with final cut pro - and therefore done with the price gorging - all the cult-like Apple BS at their stores - and just all of it.Windows 10 I have been using for 3 weeks or so - super stable. I love it. Works very fast and well. So goodbye to you Apple, I hope. You have a really nice OS but it's not worth $2000. Also this way I can play the Witcher 3 and GTA V on the road! vaga, Don Kotlos and TheRenaissanceMan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaga Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I wonder how well you'll be able to play games on a quadro card. But you could use tb3 to set up an external GPU system! Ed_David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_David Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Have you read the EULA for facebook or twitter or your iphone or android phone? Or just every time you use google or amazon. It's crazy. And the NSA collecting everything - none of us have privacy. nahua, Don Kotlos, vaga and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted August 19, 2015 Super Members Share Posted August 19, 2015 I run Resolve 12 on a Beefy Lenovo Laptop. And it works ok, some crashes. But I'm doing it as a test and have comed to the conclusion that I will be moving back to Mac. But like I said, it's totally fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted August 19, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 19, 2015 Windows 10 is decent. Big improvement on 7 and 8Resolve 11, I tried in Windows 7. Wasn't impressed with performance vs Mac version!Maybe 12 in 10 is better? Might give it a go. Ed_David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m~Daniel Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I do have Windows 10 and OSX Yosemite in a Dual Boot setup on my editing machine (4790K, 2 GTX970, 64GB RAM) ... never been a huge fan of Windos 8(.1) - Windows 10 is awesome though. I didn't register any major performance differences between OSX and Windows but I only use Resolve for 2-3 weeks now... I can do some benchmarks if you want - and if you tell me what exactly you would need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Kotlos Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I tried the resolve 12 in Windows 10 and had no problems yet. I can't say the same for premiere CC 2015 that has already crashed like 4 times. PS I am glad that A7rii does UHD vs 4K so I can use the free version of resolve!
