Reply To: Blender 2.8 and MacOS – Purchase Question
@dostovel & @smurfmier1985 haha, yeah I can’t really compare an old apple to a fresh orange (pun intended) and expect a fair fight. 2011 MacBook Pro versus 2019-ish Lenovo Legion Y545.
Since I don’t have a supported GPU I could only do a CPU comparison but at 3 min 40 sec this is how far it got:40/510 tiles completed.
The results speak for themselves with cycles. I know Eevee is hands down faster as well too. But Eevee was meant to be fast/real time so I am not surprised there. When Eevee works on my Mac it is decent enough that I am willing to wait for the first loading takes less than 20 sec usually on the Mac. Takes about 5 sec or less on the Lenovo.
