The Afterburner card for Mac Pro costs 2.500 euros (in the US store it costs 2.000 dollars, so between direct savings and currency exchange, it may be worth traveling to buy it there).
Until now, the card was available at the time of purchasing the Mac Pro, but it can now be purchased as a separate purchase.
The card can be booked through the Apple online store, with a delivery date between April 6 and April 8, if you buy it in the Spanish store, or between five and seven working days if you buy it in the American store.
Afterburner is a card designed by Apple exclusively for Mac Pro and is intended for use in video production. Instead of using the processor or graphics card, Afterburner performs some tasks, particularly those dedicated to video encoding and decoding, freeing the rest of the system components to perform other tasks.
The Afterburner card was created to speed up the encoding and decoding of the labor-intensive ProRes and ProRes RAW codecs.
Apple ensures that the card can handle up to six channels of ProRes Raw 8K video simultaneously at 30 frames per second, making it a very useful tool for video editors working at the highest quality available on the market.
