M5 Ultra 96GB vs RTX 5090-6000 Pro: which rig for local video generation at $6.5K-$27K
MaxwellHusk · reddit · 2026-09-23
A r/StableDiffusion user is deciding on a local rig for video generation. Realistic options: Mac Studio M5 Ultra 96GB unified memory ($6.5K), RTX 5090 32GB ($7K), RTX 4500 Pro 32GB ($9K), RTX 5000 Pro 48GB ($15K), RTX 6000 Pro 96GB ($27K), with workstation builds costing more. Promising M5 Max benchmarks made him reconsider Apple Silicon, though previous generations weren't fast enough for video. The rig would also handle TTS, LLMs and image models, but video workflows are the deciding factor—he's hunting for real-world M5 Ultra video benchmarks.
