Re: Worth replacing 2008 Mac Pro for upgraded 2010 Mac Pro?
Quote:
I'm sure most people are capable of making their own decision regarding the cost and economics of it. The majority of these decade old machines shipped with ram configurations that aren't really fit for modern 2019 DAWs. I threw out all of the existing ram when I upgraded to 64 gig because the old 1 & 2gig sticks didn't fit in with the configuration I needed. I'm sure a lot of people upgrading ram in their machines is doing the same. You really want dual rank ram if you want to access large capacities at 1333mhz speeds. I have seen variations in performance of up to 40% in benchmarks just by changing configurations in my machine. It is really impossible not to justify the few extra bucks for faster ram, even if it was only a 2% improvement in performance, given how much I have already spent on my DAW. HDX card, SDDs, Pro Tools license, black magic card, plugins, midi peripherals, control surface... To skimp on ram to save a few measly bucks at this stage of the game would have been the very definition of frugal, but to each their own. I would have literally wasted more money tipping my half finished coffee down the drain this morning. Most people would have.

Good day everyone,
Okay here's what I got, not sure if the benchmarks represent (2) PROCESSORS on my 2008 machine ? Or is this the overall score ?, thank you. 1s.jpg

The benchmark measures each system as a whole, so it includes both processors in your 2008 machine. The results seem about right.

Up and running, and clearly see the performance gain. Now I have to take the plunge for 2018, do you recommend a decent priced video card, or will this stock ATI 5770 still work for 2018 ?, thanks all again.

On another note, (and this may just be me) but the (mac flashed )AMD Radeon R9 280X (which is the same family as the AMD Radeon HD 7000 family) that I have work seems to behave much better with a Full HD (1920x1080) screen via HDMI than my old Apple 27" LED Cinema. Much snappier performance and big sessions that droppped out before are now looping endlessly. Go figure.
