I'm amazed that no one else has brought this up by now. Now that it's been out for a while, is the new Mac Pro worth it?

Hey Duders, So last week my Mac Pro 12 core finally died and now I'm on the lookout for a new box for mograph and VFX stuff. So I guess now is the inevitable stupid question ... What should I buy next? Should I buy the trashcan or an iMac? I was thinking PC and I'll probably end up doing it later but I don't wanna quite leave the ProRes workflow yet I figured you guys would have some input since you've probably been in the same pickle Thanks in advance -Florio

Hey Guys and Girls, I've been running my 1st gen 8 core Mac Pro for a little over 5 years and even though I love my machine I think it's finally hitting the end of it's life. So my questions are: generally how long can these machines last? I've been a mograph artist for the last 6 years so that machine has taken a beating from long renders and extensive travel to and from set. I can only imagine that it's hitting the end of it's mograph days. Also I'm not sure if this is normal or I never really noticed it but my machine runs really hot (like 120 degrees easy) ... any thoughts on that? I have noticed a drop in performance but thats to be expected for wear and tear I guess Thanks in advance guys ~Florio

I do not know if this will help or change anything, but I do think Apple should hear our voices at the very least… https://www.facebook.com/MacProsPlease

Hello, I have a 12 core Mac Pro and Cinema 4D 13. When I render I see and feel the machine is not giving full access to Cinema 4D to the processors (I can still do a lot of things while rendering and the render takes its time). I have checked with the Activity Monitor what is going on and I seen that the green is not up to the roof as it should. Screen grab Activity Monitor : www.philipstudios.com/signature/question_01.jpg I went into Cinema 4D and went into preferences to see what option do I have. Screen grab Preferences : www.philipstudios.com/signature/question_03.jpg By reading the help it seems I should disable the Adapt Thread Activity (which I did, but it did NOT help the speed in any way). Am I missing something ? How can I convince my Mac or Cinema 4D to used all the processors at true power ?
