2019 MacPro GPU: Radeon Pro W5500X w/8gb VS. Radeon Pro W5700X W/16gb
I've asked this from Apple and Avid on a few occasions and couldn't get an answer and have researched countless forums as well to no avail. Was hoping someone here would have 1st hand experience?
About to buy a new 2019 Macpro 16 core and was only considering the stock Radeon W5500X, but one of the MAIN reasons I am upgrading is speed of rendering NR plugs, freezing tracks and making faster QuickTime ref for clients.
I heard that it's worth getting the +$400 W5700X 16G since it can help speed up making QuickTimes in Protools?
Is there much truth to this and if so, how tangible is the speed of offline QT bounce?
Would it add noticeable heat and noise since it's a much larger card taking up an extra Pcie slot?
Thanks
