Can someone please share some Mac Studio Ultra M2 benchmarks?
Much appreciated!

This is with the CPU limited to a max VID of 1.4 volts. (Max V-Core ended up at 1.341v for the benchmark run) I also limited max boost to 5.5Ghz.
RAM: 7200 C36
I can live with the small performance hit while Intel sorts out the 13th and 14th gen issues.

Still uses CPU for some tests on 5.2.2 despite having GPU selected in the settings.

I would be very pleased if any âProâ user post its benchmarks, to verify the scaling statements made by Topaz.
Are there any âProâ users here ?
Thatâs what you get with an AMD Radeon RX-7800 for about half the price of the Nvidia RTX 40xx.

But you have high end (bugged CPU) and much of RAM (>6000 MTs ?)
This help also.
Have you compared on the same PC a RTX 4090 ?
May be half the price but the performance ?
The 14900K is being held back by the 7800 XT.
You could get the same reults with a less-expensive CPU or you could double the performance of your PC by upgrading your GPU to a 4080S -Maybe even a 4070-Ti-Super.
Not sure what âbuggedâ CPU means?
RAM over >6000 MTs â what does that mean?
RTX 4090, I guess thatâs the NVidia? thatâs about 3 times the price of the Radeon. I donât have those hardware laying around to try :-).
I understand that there are more powerful and (way) more expensive GPUs out there. I just posted to show whatâs possible with a more modest - and very quiet - AMD Radeon 7800.
My problem is not performance, my problem is the quality of the output, which I lower than I hoped for. But I wonât complain that my 1960s and 1970s Super-8 footage doesnât look like UHD Hollywood movie.
Quality has never been outputed through a GPU, because of its floating point approximations 
I donât flame AMD or Nvidia or even your setting, but I did test many GPU on my side, both Nvidia and AMD, Nvidia are fare ahead in terms of power/price.
Even a GTX 1080 Ti that is Tensorless kick the ass, but you need 10 of it 
Hope youâll get the best out your 7800XT And may be open an opporutnity for Topaz to port also OpenCL so Nvidia Tensors will be âlessâ ahead
âBuggedâ is probably referring to the voltage / degradation issue where Intel 13th and 14th gen CPUâs with TDPâs above 65w are degrading very quickly:
The chips are requesting too much voltage and end up with very short life spans depending on how the CPU is used. I have limited my max VID to 1.4V in the BIOS as a temporary fix, but Intel has released a micro code update that is supposed to stop the chips from degrading. (But will not fix one that is already degraded)

thank you, I wasnât aware of it.
Indeed I was thinking of that. To me getting such 13 or 14 gen CPu running a long time will lead to a crash and then drop out the encoded video to trash 
Just donât push those CPUâs to the limit and it might run quite stable. At least my 13900K does. Just set the power limits PL1/PL2 and the Amps according to Intels recommendations, turn off TVB and TVB voltage optimizations but turn on TVB Enhanced and turn off IA CEP.
I havenât owned an Intel for at least 15 years. Their hegemonic position and the will to kill AMD at all costs finally pushed them to do the opposite and that makes me happy for healthy competition.
I have recently owned a 7950X which will be pushed to its limits which are thermal. For that I unpacked my waterchiller which had been waiting for a real CPU for years
But since the weather is very hot and humid at the moment, my margin of progress is tight otherwise I have to isolate a lot of things. Fortunately there is 3D printing now which opens up so many possibilities.
Else, it seems that I learnt from Intel benchmarck is that memory is very important. I donât know if TVAI uses DirectStorage or not but it would change things if so.
My actual Micron DDR5 kit is pure crap, going for a true low latency 6000 MTs kit, and forgetting also multiple rendering to save it. I will do my multi rendering on the 2990WX that love tons of jobs simultaneously.
So if you owners of Intel CPU + godlike DDR5, I would be pleased you check your DDR5 bandwidth use. (HWinfo 64 / Memory bandwidth read + write) to compare with AMDâs
I got some various tests around the GPU to find out that RTX 3070 will pump 3.5 to 5 GBps on PCIE bus, it fits on Gen3 x4 (aiming 7x RTX 3070 on 2990WX)
Also analysing the behaviour of mGPU, because itâs unclear for me that TVAI scales as advertised. It is closed to, but only in some scenarios.
