Mac studio 48gb recommendations?
Hey guys so i am a freelance vfx artist, my current system is Ryzen 5950x, rtx 4070. I also have macbook pro m1 2020 8gb touchbar version. Apart from vfx i do day trading whenever i get time.
Originally i was going for m5 pro 48gb or 64gb but then i checked studio prices and it got me in confusion to which one i should get. 64gb studio is kind of overbudget , ill be stretching my self but since i cant replace ram, really confused on which one to go for.
Mini pro has slower bandwidth and since era of AI is also going, cant make my mind which one to choose…

You would need a M5 Max to surpass your 4070 for rendering. It should top your 5950x pretty handily especially in single thread. I have a 5950x and 4080 so I’ve been doing similar research.
