We also talked generally about how RAM, CPU, GPU, and BIOS all interact to determine system performance with digital media software apps. He helped us understand the history of Mac and PC workstation development and the how / why PC hardware has taken big strides forward (and why Apple has let the Mac Pro fall behind). Eric is a design consultant for ADK Video and works as an IT expert for Northern Kentucky University in their Fine Arts department. In this interview Eric Bowen about the overall Mac and PC workstation landscape.

This is causing many pros to buy a Windows PC optimized for DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro. Plus, their ‘workstation’ class hardware has become rigid, with very little ability to upgrade components and limiting the useable lifespan of that gear. Apple, traditionally the platform for many creative professionals, is slowing down the development of its ‘workstation’ class hardware. The post-production industry is starting to migrate from Apple workstations to PC workstations. So, do yourself (and your computer) a favor and ensure your hardware specs meet all the recommended standards for two major kinds of users: one is a free version another is a studio version.īuilding a PC Optimized for DaVinci Resolve It needs a solid foundation to run on, and without it, many of its incredible features will end up falling flat in terms of performance. After all, DaVinci is like any other high-powered software. But you want to know the minimum recommended hardware specifications to enjoy a successful editing process.
