My Mac Pro 4,1 (flashed to a 5,1) that I just purchased yesterday has a Radeon HD 4870 was glitching so I grabbed my old gtx 660ti and plopped it into the bottom slot and booted it and no post so then I put both cards in and the Radeon had 4870 had a display but not the 660ti when I plugged in a...

Hello, im a new owner of a mac pro 2010 5.1 and for a two weeks, or a little more, i have been researching for the upgrades and all. In a future post i'll tell you all about my little horror and fascinating history. im in proces of succed and won't surrender. This blog is the best source of...

I am in the market for a new Mac and I'm dealing with the M2 Pro Mac Mini vs. M1 Pro Max Mac Studio for a new job I have begun. I've ran the configurator for both machines and there is about $200 difference between the two computers so the price is basically a wash. So that leaves me with...

I just woke this mornig with an idea, like to poll the interest for an opensource project for solving NVRAM / BootROM headaches and accelerate BootROM / UEFI / GPU Rom / GOP developments. There are so many users around doing critical NVRAM / GPU card flashing which costs a lot of time while...

I do a lot of video editing - music videos mostly. All in 1080p, I might make the transition to 4k but that's not quite in demand by my clients just yet. Just to be clear, I'm getting the 1TB HD so that's not what is in question here. I'm curious if the base 19-core GPU/16GB RAM will suffice...

Hi everyone, my device is M2 Max MBP 16 (12c 38c). Yesterday while using UTM (running Ubuntu 22.04) and playing back a video in PiP I encountered some GPU artifacting. I clicked on the menu bar then clicked on the VM and the system froze for about 10 seconds, I pressed the power key, when I...

Since I repasted the Gpu and Cpu, if I do something graphic heavy thing the machine freezes but I can move my cursor and the audio continues to play. After some waiting the screen turns off. In bootcamp everything is distorted on the screen and the OS can't recognize the Gpu but in Mac OS there...

I'm a long time Mac user and "upgraded" from a iMac Pro with an eGpu to a Mac Studio Ultra. What a disappointment. I have never been disappointed with a Mac product like this. I am happy with CPU performance but a lot of my work is GPU based. I can't upgrade, I can't connect an eGpu. I'm stuck...

For about a year I've been trying to figure out the interactive viewport lag I get when using Redshift and Cinema 4D. By lag I mean usability lag, beach balling, etc etc. After some messing about I discovered that: 1. A single 5700MPX has no lag issues, just slow at rendering. 2. A single...

Hi all, Can I ask you a question about GPU requirements? 24 vs 32 cores for Macbook Pro M1 Max 64GB 2TB model. Short: am I missing anything with 24 GPU cores vs 32 for this type of work? - Lightroom classic - Photoshop using many (200+) layers, hence the 64GB RAM, also for future proofing -...

Yeah... Just being curious...Is it still Intel? Or Apple itself.

If (today) you were going to upgrade your 2010 - 2012 Mac Pro 5,1 with new CPUs, new GPU, new NVME, etc. etc., what would you do different? I’m at the very beginning of organizing how I’m going to upgrade my machine, and I would love to hear from you… What would you do different? Many thanks...

I’m writing this post on a decade-old 13-inch MacBook Pro with absolutely miserable graphics hardware that was miserable the day this computer was manufactured. It used to be that the 13-inch MacBook Pro, a very popular computer in the heyday of this particular model, was abysmal as a gaming...

So I'm using patched macOS Monterey on my Mac mini 2012 and I've noticed a wierd glitch where apps I've opened from Launchpad, leave a permanent imprint on the screen until the next restart. Re-launching Finder doesn't resolve this. Anyone seen anything similar? Just wondering whether its my...

So I've bought MBP M1 Max 32 cores less last month. Since then I've been monitoring CPU & GPU usage and temperatures by iStat Menus. Until yesterday CPU usage rarely exceeded 8-10% (GPU even less, I'd say 3-5%) and temperatures showed 48-55 °C. To be honest, that is because I didn't run more...

What's up community! :) As ya'll who know me know, I run a small indie production company and the heart of it is my 2019 Mac Pro 7.1 It's a 28-Core with 2 W6800X Duos and in GPU Rendering Tests it is equivalent to roughly about 33% under 3 RTX 3090's. Recently it's been revealed that the RTX...

I've been running a late 2015 MBA and looking to finally replace it! I'm fairly incompetent when it comes to comparing tech specs, so looking for some buying advice. I use my laptop religiously for uni, so lots of chrome, word/powerpoint/excel, notion usage, which ive had minimal problems with...

Hi, I just received my Studio Ultra with 64c GPU, 2TB SSD and 128GB RAM. But I also ordered a standard one: 48c GPU, 1TB SSD, 64GB RAM that should arrive soon. Now I have ten days to choose which one I keep. I use it for postproduction with Davinci Resolve. The maxed out clearly rivals the...

For context, I have a rx580 that came with the Mac Pro and a 6900XT I bought later. I could just use 6900XT but the problem is that it's producing so much heat. I live in a place where I don't have AC in my room so it gets too hot in the summer. I would like to use 6900XT only in certain...

2019 16 inch MacBook Pro with "Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB" integrated graphics and "AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB" discreet graphics. I usually only use discreet graphics (I turn off auto graphics switching) so I didn't notice this until now, but when I use integrated graphics, YouTube videos...
