They are more purple on my monitor and they really are Jedi with their light sabers to the side, and they are hiding in a dark cave. So I leave them be, don't want to tick off a bunch of Jedi.

FCPX has faster render times and export times if using the right video card. Try an AMD card, they are much faster than nvidia by a long shot. A R9 280x will beat most nvidia cards in FCPX. They just now have the RX 480 8GB cards working with hackintosh's, look into that. But if FCPX isn't a...

It's your video card, I am having the same problem.

So I forgot to post back here after my build was done. Gigabyte z170x UD5 TH 6700K @ 4.8Ghz~ (just can't get higher then that unless I really pour on the voltage) Phanteks 14pe G.Skill Trident 3000MHz @ 3636Mhz AMD Sapphire r9 290x Bruce X----8.5 secs give or take a tenth of a second.

The R9 280x should blow the the GTX970 out of the water. That said some people have problems with XFX cards with OSX. I would try a different brand. That said what did you try when with the 280x? Like ati graphics inject etc....

CBCPUX=1060.276732 CBOPENGL=132.481762 That is with a 6700k OC to 4.794GHz with 32GB RAM at 3264MHz, with a AMD Sapphire R9 290x, on a Gigabyte Z170X UD5 TH motherboard.

Sure it does, where have you seen it doesn't?

Ok thanks again.

Cool thanks. I wonder does a 8GB sapphire 290x give more less or the same problems (or lack there of problems).... And would we see any improvements in benchmarks like Bruce X? If anyone knows please speak up, got to make my last purchase soon, the almighty fcpx best video card for $200-$300~.

Which 290x are you using? And if I may ask what RAM is in your system, speed and cas?

So, what is suggested now a days? Nvidia 970 or a 370/x? I have a new build going centered around this crap: 6700k Gigbyte ud5 TH 32GB 3000 ddr4 cas14 And I will be using it primarily for fcp x. Just need to know what is the best card for $200. Previous builds, like a 4770k put in a 280x, but...

CUDA only helps the likes of premiere, FCPX uses OpenCL, you didn't mention which editing program you use, but I am guessing FCPX? BTW, I use two monitors, with a R9 280x, and FCPX, does a great job BTW. But one thing, don't upgrade to 10.11 as I have a few bugs with 10.11 and FCPX at the...

JBL LSR-308's, love their off axis response so much its not even funny.

If you can afford it, get more system memory as well. 8GB just cuts it for FCPX, IMHO. I have 4-4GB so 16GB of 2133Mhz cas9 memory and wish/wonder what 32GBs of memory would do for FCPX, especially plugins like NeatVideo (noise reducing plugin). I also wish I had a 280x like your planning on...

Went with a x5650 which when overclocked, will hopefully give me the most bang for the buck. $73 from ebay, should be here next week.
