I'm using an iMac 2012 model with DaVinci Resolve. It displayed an alert that stated "GPU full" as soon as I started the program.

Tried to import one video and all I saw was static and glitches, even when rendered.

Now, it's displaying four streams of 2.5K footage simultaneously with the BizonBox. I'm truly impressed and thankful for this missing piece of the puzzle.

So Bizon Box is very, very close to a five for me. I've been running it for several weeks on my MacBook Pro and it's been pretty flawless.

I can run WoW at ultra settings with almost no issue. Every now and then I get a slight tearing but it's maybe once every couple plays. The only reason I couldn't mark it a five is that it's a bit picky on startup - to get it to work every time I have to disconnect the monitor first, restart, then reconnect. Not critical by any means but a little bit annoying over time. Graphically though it's pretty much flawless.

Really pleased with the performance boost I'm getting with the BisonBox 3 to my 2016 MacBook Pro 15" 2.9Ghz i7 with Radio Pro 460.

I'm using it with a Titan X card and I'm finally able to edit, color correct (etc, etc) full 4.6k 12-bit RAW, and 4.6k ProRes 444XQ, at full resolution and frame rate in Davinci Resolve and Premiere Pro.

I haven't run any benchmarks yet, but it's doing exactly what I hoped it would do - it's turned my MacBook Pro into a full on post-production machine for regular use on studio movies, commercials, network TV, etc. Very pleased!

The reason I've only given it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's not as user friendly as I would have liked. This is mostly because the instruction manual is a bit hokey. For example, the manual detailed how for a 6+8-pin card, you must use the 6+8-pin cable in the box. However, there is not a 8-pin cable in the box, just 2x 6-pin cables, plus 2x 2-cables. This meant I had to email Bizon and ask them what to do. However, their reply still wasn't specific enough, so I had to email them again - I just didn't want to risk damaging my $1400 graphics card. Another example is that the manual doesn't tell you what to do when you want to stop using the BizonBox 3 and take the laptop away with you - I took a guess, shut it down and unplugged it. It worked, but would have been nice to know this for sure. I also find it odd that there is a second port on the back of the box, but with specific warnings in the manual that this should not be used. So, why is the port there?

Aside from those few minor issues, I'm very pleased and would highly recommend it for professional filmmakers in need of more power.

I own a Macbook Pro 2016 without Touch Bar. BizonBox 3 lets me use the Nvidia GTX 970 that I need to render games and video work at the speeds that I need. The installation process is very easy on macOS, provided you use the software installation instructions included in the BizonBox 3 manual. However, getting the BizonBox 3 to work with Windows can be a huge pain at this point. Eventually I got it to work but had to disable some built-in input devices in the Windows Device Manager. Lack of support for HDMI and Displayport audio with macOS. Hopefully new driver software will make things easier in the future.

Bizon PC

Daniel,

Thank you for your feedback!
Our goal is to make the BizonBOX installation as easy as possible and we always strive to improve our software and installation instructions.

BizonBox 2s

I installed a TITAN Xp into the BizonBox 2s. I am using the Box with a Macbook Pro Retina 2013 and an iMac 2011.

I had some problems to get it running under Win 10 and OSX, but support was great and i finally got it working. So far i can say...

it´s unbelieveable... Holy Crap... after testing some of the newest games in 1080p (almost everytime in ULTRA Settings)
I hooked up a 4K Samsung TV and i couldnt believe what i saw... Most of the Titles still worked in 4K and Ultra OR very High Graphics Settings and ran somewhere between 30-60 fps...

With titles like Ghost Recon Wildlands i had to decrease some of the Engine´s Details but even a game like this is running stable in 4K with solid 30 fps. I was asking myself if Tb generation would be really and issue... With Gaming I experienced that there
is absolutely NO visible Difference if the Box runs on TB1 or TB2.
For Comparison... On my iMac 2011 with TB1 Games are even running faster because
it has a slightly faster CPU than my Macbook Pro Retina 2013 with TB2.

I ordered the BizonBox to speed up my workflows for Colorgrading, 3D Rendering and Videoediting in the first place... But after testing it with some games I am really into gaming again :D.

Thanks to Bizon-Tech for greating a Solution like this. I know its not cheap BUT its a good product that fits nicely to your Mac Devices and support is very good!

Running 2015 MBP and got the GTX 980. I'm primarily doing some video editing using Premiere and After Effects.

Playback is smooth as butter now. I had some technical issues at first, but Richard was on point in response time and identifying the problem. Great product, great service!
