Adobe CC Render Times - Mac or PC?

[GeekaWhat]

I have the latest late 2013 Mac Book Pro 15'' Retina with a Core i7 clocked @ 2.2GHz (Turbo upto 3.4GHz) with 1.5GB Iris Pro Graphics and 8GB RAM. I also have a custom build PC (budget oriented) with a GTX 750tTi (over clocked based on the LTT over clock spreadsheet) and a quad core athlon x4 760K overclocked to 4.3Ghz wth 8GB RAM. I was wondering which would be faster for rending (mostly in after effects and premiere) I know this might sound like an obvious conclusion (the mac with the core i7) but I'm unsure how much AE and Premiere will benefit from the GTX 750Ti's cuda acceleration.

 

Thanks,

As far as I know, CUDA does impact render times, but it isn't as important as the CPU. Just create a 30 second video, save it as the native format and render it on the Mac and the PC as a test.

It's just a lot of effort - I'll try it if I have to but I see if anyone knos first

OK. I'd say the i7 Mac would beat out the budget build.

CPU (4750HQ?) in the mac would outperform the Athlon

GPU's processing power may help the PC

 

All in all, the Mac should come out on top

Thanks, just as I expected - now time to buy the student license

You can install Adobe CC on two computers so no need to choose
