What CPU was being used alongside those nvidia chips? I feel that may explain some of the massive benchmark differences instead of just optimization, some tasks are more CPU heavy than GPU

It's not that surprising that the conclusion is that macs are good for mobile blender use, when it's been quite a while since the mac desktops have been refreshed. The studio and mini never got an m3. Hopefully, when the m4's come out for the studio's and mini's we'll see a re-evaluation. If it's anything like the m1 to m2 to m3 transitions we could see an open data (blender) benchmark jump of between 60 and 90%.

are these comparisons in blender benchmarks for nvidia is mobile gpus for laptops ? or the ones for desktop ?

The disrespect on Khalid is wild

use FreeCAD instead of SolidWorks & Co...

There's several Architecture and visualization tools for native Mac. ArchiCAD, Vectorworks etc. Then there's at least ArtLantis for standalone renderings and Twinmotion for real-time stuff.

Great video! Btw - an interesting thing about the Noise Threshold, is that I've noticed on several occasions, that when I use any value between 0.1 - 0.01; it seems that the Denoised image has a high probability of containing Denoising Artifacts, which is obvious especially when using Volume Scattering on my scenes - which is then fixed right away when set to 0.1 or 0.01 I have no idea why it happens, or is it just something that 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08 & 09 values would just be somehow _"incompleted"_ for an threshold value, so 0.1, 0.01 or 0.001 would then be the most optimal values for Noise Threshold regardless of the complexity of scene?

Right now I plan to buy an M4 iPad pro and zbrush but.... the alternative - getting a Macbook pro and doing 3D modeling in Blender and zbrush- is also considered...as long as the poly count is high enough in these machines.

Great comparison. Subscribed. Looking forward to an M4 video soon.

Ive spent all weekend looking at RTX LAPTOPS but i always end up buying a MacBook 😂

Bro real talk. How you mispronouncing like everything?

what about unreal engine? Did you test that with Mac?

messed up RTX 4070 result

I would look at the Asus g16 as the closest competitor

How do you make your graphs and the animations ?

horses for courses. Just swapped out my aging 2070ti with a 4070ti super. As is, my not-new CPU (AMD R9 5950x) with 128 GB of RAM with the aforementioned GPU is a hulking power hungry box, but performance/dollar ratio is quite higher. I agree the new M chips are great, and being able to tap into that much power in a well built and very portable notebook with is incredible.

Being a profesional 3d artis all I can say - No matter how good M chips are getting, nothing beats a desktop PC with a profesional setup! It is simply not possible beat a desktop PC, that has much better cooling or even water cooled parts and multiple GPU setup.

Good video… but u can never convince me to use Macbook for 3D modelling but I’ll keep my MacBook too, it is good for other things. I’ll always be grateful for MacBook’s reliability, 3 yrs old MacBook Pro survived the first 3 yrs of my mechanical engineering under-grad. In my fourth year of uni it became so slow to the point the company I was working as co-op purchased me a new one after I constantly complained about it lool if u need it and can afford it have them both: a good windows laptop aka gaming laptop and a cheap MacBook for traveling, web browsing and Netflix, the only things I use for my MacBook. Mr reliable is good as a second laptop for those of you who work from home.

3:35 u know that optix works better with nvidia gpus? When you used cuda for your benchmarks the numbers are probably worse.

You can't ignore value for price - to get m2 ultra you need to spend more then 4 thousand dollars, which is a lot more expensive then getting pc with rtx 4080. So from Value stand point NVidia is weeeey better

Apple m3 max is NOWHERE near the performance of a DESKTOP 4070. This video is very misleading.

Appreciate the video. That graph at 2:50 is very helpful.

poor flawed analysis

You did not mention Fusion 360. I've been running Fusion for 2 years on an M2 Mac and it outperforms my Intel i-9 based Mac considerably.

cr23 has gpu benchmark?

This was exactly the comparison I needed! I am curious for the M4 Max update this month, but for now I'm sure I will not have to go back to Windows for 3D. 🙏

GPU compute horsepower AND useable memory-bandwidth both need to be considered for applications. Benchmarks focus too much on GPU-horsepower. The M2 Ultra (800GB/s bandwidth) is still sometimes faster than the M3 Max (400GB/s) in practical terms, even though the M3 has nearly equivalent GPU horsepower. And the memory-bandwidth of the 4090 is only 30% faster than the M2 Ultra (and with only 24GB VRAM vs. max. ~180GB for the Ultra), even though the 4090's GPU-horsepower is several times larger. P.S.: I'm not into 3D, more into AI - and for AI response-generation, the Macs with their comparatively large/fast unified RAM perform really well.

The problem with using an AI voice for a video is the viewer can’t tell if the video was also written by ai with little to no human input meaning it is of no informational value. As a result I skip every video of this kind.

Please invest in a pop filter, great research otherwise

Mac's dont even have VR. What are you even talking about in this video?

Great analysis, subbed!

doesn't work in 4.2.1

So now that Eevee next uses raytracing, would metalRT work for both cycles and Eevee?

Incredible compilation! Extremely impressive man!!!

I only have m1 and try to render a cycle in blender a bottle turining with 150 frame and it took 3hr to render 20 frame so I stop what im doing and lost a client 😂😂

I need some more detailed information. You mentioned 'Cycles benchmark'. Which one? What were the numbers?

which lightweight windows laptop would you recommending for 3d artists?

what about keyshot and fusion 360? Please cover all of them, you did not mention one of the biggest standard render programs on the market

can do realtime rendering with unity or unreal...

I have been using my M2 Max for Blender work for over a year and it was been great for the portability reasons in the video. I have 2 PC systems with a 3090 and 3080ti on standby if I need the rendering horsepower, but I prefer my MBP as my daily driver.

Fusion 360 is compatible and should be on that list since it is for engineering and is a big solid works competitor. also its more popular than some of the other software on this list.

Working on a Macbook with Blender is really annoying, but not because of the performance (although in my experience Blender on Apple Silicon is much more unstable) but because of the missing numpad. Huge disadvantage. (also Magic Mouse is useless) And especially in an industry that doesn't pay well, it's economically a bad decision to choose a Macbook over Linux/Windows-Laptop. The only situations a Macbook would be a better choice are if you have to work in places without power outlets or if the product design is your highest priority and you happen to like Macs more than a Lenovo Legion for example.

"more detail in each pixel" ?

Canal Abandonado

It's weird that my m3max is so laggy when I m using eevee with 32 or 64 samples. my mouse and ui is laggy

The Mac is a bad computer for those who do 3D work, especially as a profession. The Mac is also bad at the popular UNREAL 5 engine. An expensive computer for no reason, even battery life Intel has already overtaken Apple Silicon.

A bit fast with the presentation. Hard to follow some parts of it. As for Macs and 3D, the only reason I'd get one are portability. Otherwise, I think PCs (currently) have a much better price / performance ratio. Otherwise, I prefer Macs.

Who damn that people who still use 3d max?????

it tooks so long to find your video, if your title was "convert 2d file to 3d file in blender", I would find it after a few click. Thank you for the tutorial though

I genuinely (audibly) gasped when the Nvidia 40 series gpu results were shown on the blender results XD
