Hey guys, I have a i9 octa-core 2.4ghz with 64GB ram, 5500M 8GB DDR6, 4TB config that is ~6 months old. Recently, I've been noticing a really weird behaviour after investigating why my 16" MBP is displaying graphical glitches after playing Civ6 via Steam for under 5 mins. Resolution in-game is...

I have a Mac Pro 5.1 2010 currently running macOS El Capitan 10.11.6 and I wanted to update the GPU and after I checked Apple’s recommendations for GPU upgrades I just bought a Sapphire Radeon RX 580. So I removed the two old GPUs (ATI and Nvidia) and plugged in the two 6pin into an 8pin adaptor...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Radeon 9600 XT 128MB graphics card from eBay. It was listed as being Powermac G4 and G5 compatible. Basically, I wanted to get the best graphics card option that will allow me to use the ADC connection. I planned to use it in my MDD FW800. I was excited once...

Hello all, I recently acquired (for free) a 2010 iMac that wasn't operational. I got the OS running again, but it was all but unusable. So I upgraded the ram from 4 to 8 GB, added in an SSD in addition to the original HDD and ODD, replaced the thermal paste on the GPU and CPU, and upgraded...

Hi, I am a new member to the forum. I have a Mac Pro 3.1 and I would like to upgrade to Catalina. Is the Gpu MSI Geforce GT 710 LP (2Gb) a good option ? I don't need an expensive gpu because I don't play any games.

I live in India and am in a bit of a conundrum. I'm looking to buy the MBP 16 i9 but would like to upgrade the GPU from 4 to 8gb but the issue here is that BTO takes forever. The store said it could take a minimum for 45 days and given the COVID situation I'm not sure how long I'd be waiting...

Hi, I tried to understand the state of things as far as FileVault (aka APFS-Encrypted) on cMP units is concerned. Read some threads here and on MacVidCards' blog, and still confused. I have a MP4,1 updated to 5,1 with a vanilla RX580 and 10.13.6. Considering whether to update to Mojave or...

Hello, Wondering if anyone can help me out with an apparent Graphics Card Crash on my new MacBook Pro. I purchased a 16" MacBook Pro / 64GB RAM / 8GB AMD 5500 Graphics Card / 2.3GHz 8-core i9 and installed BootCamp / Steam to play one of my favorite games (Planet Coaster). Super graphics...

I've read several posts for the method for upgrading the card - I have the stock ATI Radeon 5870. It looks like the Sapphire Radeon RX 580 is the most straightforward upgrade. I already have an OWC Mercury Accelsior E2 PCIe SSD 1tb card, which is my start up disk (APFS) and I'm running 10.13.6...

Hello, I have two graphics cards in my cMP 5,1. RX580 (PCIe 3) and Vega 64 (PCIe 1). Each one hooked up to one monitor. 1.) Is there any way how to force some apps to run on certain graphics card? 2.) Is there any program to see which GPU is certain app using? I bought second GPU, because I...

How can i know if my mid2010, core i7, iMac has a graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB) that uses a GPU. If so, how can i enable it for Premiere cc2017?

So far we've seen spectacular performances by the GPUs on iPads and iPhones. Those few graphic cores integrated on Apple APUs work great and reach easily 120 fps in games with Metal on pretty decent resolutions (the iPad), albeit dealing with a "stripped down" version of a PC game. However...

Guys, I've been searching everywhere for answers about how many standard full-size GPU's can fit in the current Mac Pro. I was looking to buy 4 Radeon Pro WX9100 as seen in this picture below but I'm not sure if the Mac can fit 4 with the current PCI setup. If I can't get 4 Radeon Pro WX...

Hey there folks. Just wanted to post about my success with upgrading the GPU in my Xserve 2,1(2008). Just picked up the machine for $80 with all three drive carriers being the SAS raid ones and the integrated raid controller. Has the two 3.0GHz 4 core xeons for 8 cores. even has 26GB of ddr2 FB...

A friend gave me his unused GTX 1080. I'd like to get it working in my cMP. It seems that Nvidia drivers work up only to 10.13 (I'm on 10.14 at the moment). I'm using this to run Folding@Home applications for COVID19 research. AMD cards (like the RX580 I have) aren't optimized to run...

I have a late 2013 Mac Pro. When I bough it I thought was great for video editing and streaming but after a while I discover that H264 and hardware acceleration is not working on this machine (!). I was following the thread about OpenCore but seems for Mac 5,1 and I'm a little worried it could...

Hi Recently I bought a Mac Pro 2.1, I was thinking of upgrading my GPU to a AMD Radeon R9 280X. According to this post (Part 6.1) https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/gpu-compatibility-list-for-cmp.2174600/?fbclid=IwAR0nX-9bjZ2ydvPBVUIttmrzJ1_3d703TcAWSUycj9xdJ76tcUR0-k7B8_k My current specs...

Can anyone confirm if 10.15.4 updated the GPU drivers for the current AMD card lineup? Been waiting to pull the trigger on a 16" MBP but keep hearing horror stories about glitches and Metal acceleration on the new Macs, especially in Adobe Premiere Pro. Been hoping that it gets fixed before...

Mac specs are in my signature. So when trying to play an old game from 2003 on Origin in windows my osx gpu history is showing the graph as maxed out ! I don't even get near max doing daily regular things in osx. The settings for vmware are 1gb out of 3gb shared graphics memory with 3d on, 4...

Hey, so I got my system with the stock 580. wondering what real world improvements from the adobe CC market there is between the two. Also considering waiting for the Radeon Pro W5700X. Thoughts?
