Mac Pro 2013 for Archviz work?

[simonoudiette]

Hello everyone,

 

I've been searching the whole forum for opinions on the new mac pro 2013 but haven't found any.

 

I currently work on a vaio SVP laptop but it's starting to get too limited for the work I intend to do therefore I'm looking for a compact (sort of transportable) desktop solution. I mainly work on Sketchup, 3DS max + Vray, the adobe suite (PS,AI,ID,Premiere), and intend to do walkthrough and videos with the Unreal Engine 4.

 

I was wondering if the mac pro 2013 (with bootcamp windows 8 I guess) would be suitable for my use. I've heard of drivers issues with the AMD FirePro graphic card but couldn't get to the bottom of it (latest threads being at least a year old).

 

Any insights would be greatly appreciated (regarding the mac pro for archviz, or a potential other setup that would suit my needs)

 

Thank you

 

Simon
