Illustrator 18 now has "Windows GPU acceleration" with an Adobe-certified NVIDIA graphics card. Based on NVIDIA technology called NV Path Rendering that is implemented as an extension to OpenGL. So, before I go out and by myself a PC. I would like to know how this compares to the Mac Pro offering Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPU's.
Currently the impression I get is that upgrading from my Mac Book Pro to a Mac Pro, may not be worth the investment. In particular, I occasionally use Final cut Pro and Maya so was looking at the 6 core or 8 core, but with the slower clock speeds and the current lake of multicore / multithreading in illustrator got me questioning the upgrade.
Anyone pointer appreciated?
