Hi Iohannes,
I just wanted to ask if according to you this approach is feasible with such a gemwin dimension [dimen 7680x3240(. And if a Mac Pro could handle it with 4-8 or 12 core processor.
I'm not very learned when it comes to apple, so I cannot give an authorative answer your question.
anyhow: the number of cores are probably not very relevant here, as most of the work is done by the GPU. a resolution of 7680x3240 does not seem very high for nowadays standards.
the maximum texture size (which is the relevant spec here) for modern cards should be at least 8192x8192 pixels (e.g. my intel gfx-card on my lenovo x230 supports 8192x8192; my quite old (~10 years) nvidia GeForce 7800GTX would support only 4096x4096; what i here from the new nvidia GTX980 it should have a maximum texture size of 65536x65536 pixels).
