J. Wallace Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hello everyone A quick question that I'm sure is an easy one for @Jim Wilson I'm looking to upgrade my older MacPro (I'll get over it...) and trying to get a good handle on my future needs. My work seems to be including more site models from 1-20 acres, with this in mind does VW use a single core of a CPU when in Open GL mode as well as when one updates a site model. I realize multi core machines shine in the rendering mode but I'm curious about how these modes are handled. Thanks very much... ps I'm looking at an Imac Pro vs a high-end Imac Quote Link to comment

Thanks very much for that Jim. We are adding another work station and I keep leaning towards the Imac Pro. I don't see it as a perfect solution but it seems to be the best bang for your buck currently in the Mac world. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment
