dear Capture Team,

since a couple of weeks I'm running Capture on a MacBookPro 16" M3 MAX.

Unfortunately I don't see any! Performance Improvments over my MacBook Air M1 I used to last two years and even my Workstation PC with a GTX 2070 card beats the M3.

So my question:

Is Capture using the full potential of the M3 Max Chip with it's Graphics?

Could you look into that?

cheers!

Which version of Capture are you using and what are your visualisation settings?

hi Lars,

Version 2023.1.8.

usual Settings:

RenderQuality: AUTO

Smoke: Variant=0%

Capture seems to struggle especially with "Multi-Instant-Fixtures".

Even when not used in pixel-modes! for example a simple SGM P-6 in 6CH mode causes the performance to drop drastically!

I'm gonna send you a mail with more detailed examples and files.

But besides my cases.. the M3 MAX is a very powerful graphical maschine, but Capture seems to make not very much use of the Apple GPU. Can you see a reason for that?!

best regards,

daniel
