![]() ![]() It usually gets replaced half way the lifetime of the machine itself. The evolution of graphics cards goes much quicker than the rest of a machine. The dual professional AMD GPU is not a bad choice but it is not sure if it will be upgradable once the machine leaves the factory. "So what about the graphics card?" you might ask. It all depends how much you can fit in one of those slots of course. Compared to the current Mac Pro that seems kind of few. On the pictures, released on the Apple web site, you can see that there are only four memory slots. The fast memory and flash drive will run 3D software like Maya quickly. The new Xeon cores will definitely provide plenty of power for local render jobs. So, is it any good as a graphics workstation? Even the latest wireless technology is incorporated. It will have up to 12 new Intel Haswell Xeon cores, a dual AMD Fire Pro graphics card, 1866MHz DDR3 memory for a bandwidth of up to 60 GB/s, PCI express flash storage, Thunderbold 2, HDMI 1.4, USB3 and gigabit ethernet. All components are cooled by a central cooling element and one large fan which will keep the noise levels down. I agree that it is a strange design but I can see the benefits when keeping the machine cool. The new cylindrical design has already been mocked by the internet community to be a trash can, jet engine or a Darth Vader inspired machine. ![]() You can see two memory slots at either side for a total of four. ![]() In fact, the whole thing is redesigned from the bottom up. This new machine looks nothing like the previous model. On the 10th of June Phil Schiller, the senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Apple Inc., presented the new Mac Pro. The documentation wasn't updated though which lead to this long search. Again, the forums helped me figure out that this updated controller behaves a bit different. It was only after changing to D-Bus that it started to work. The remote control is supposed to be of the PPM type and this is also the default value in the standard calibration file. Although the Phantom itself indicated that there was a connection to the remote control, the software was unable to detect it. The last problem I had was the connection between remote control and the Phantom. The extra lever on the back is usable as a controller for tilting an optional gimbal. It was only after searching several online forums that I figured out I had the new controller type which they only starting shipping recently. I even opened up the controller to see what was wrong with it. This is impossible when a spring centers it. This was really confusing as one of the important steps for lift off is setting the throttle stick all the way down. It has an extra lever on the back and the throttle control is automatically centered. I had callled Nikon India Tech Support regarding this and they have clearly said that the Software "Can be installed,un installed and Re-Installed in the same computer and not in the new one."So for the new one i again have to buy the software which i guess will be a loss.Sofortbild App keeps on flcikering and toggling between Pc and Normal mode and i cannot risk losing images.My remote control is also different. But it's wicked fast on my new laptop with Ivy Bridge and native USB3. Why are you under the impression that you can't uninstall the software and re-install it on the new computer?ĬCP does the job but Nikon is way overdue for an upgrade, enlarging the preview is top of the list, additional windows for focus detail would help. When I got a new computer I moved the software over. ![]() The Nikon Camera control pro is too expensive and since iam planning to upgrade my Macbook Pro i dont want to invest in a single system license software now. ![]()
