Mac mini mini - will it run Flame?

@Jonhollis - if the mini cooper doesn’t work, go and buy a nuclear aircraft carrier…

FWIW i now gave the mini to the 4th artist doing a bit of timeline work.

Cant export timelines due to it going out of memory had to switch him to a mac studio.

kinda baffles me that 64G of ram isnt enough for this basic stuff…

Anyhow we will sell the M4 mini and probably just order a m3Ultra , it was a nice try.

Crazy…

Is this possibly a side-effect of unified storage? It’s not that the main memory is too small for the app, but that the GPU (and even more so a memory leak) just takes up all the air in the room.

When it’s on its knees, what does the resource manager page show?

keep it - use it for emails.

maybe there is something wrong with it - as ive got the same machine and haven’t had any problems at all, never crashed. never got too slow. not long timelines though. its blasts through blender renders too

could be , it just runs our of ram… idk whats going on with it.

we all have enough email machines LOL
