mac pro (2019)

Hello everyone, So I'm planning on buying a base-model Mac Pro 7,1 with the 8-core Xeon, 96GB of Ram and a Radeon Pro 580X MP. I mostly want to use it for webdesign, editing 8K video in Final Cut and coding in macOS. Also I want to dual boot Windows 11 to play some 4K games. My plans are to...

Hi, I am in need of serious help. My Mac Pro 2019 has been acting up - Mac OS has been sluggish and in attempt to fix this, I tried resetting NVRAM via Safe Mode. When I first ran "sudo nvram -c" I got some errors and I did a search and on stackoverflow or some other side, someone had a similar...

Im running out of storage on my Corsair One pc (PC version of trashcan Mac in design). Im tempted to get a Mac Pro 2019 but its really tough finding decent information on YouTube on the differences between graphics cards etc or benchmarks comparing it to the Mac Studio etc. The YT algorithm...

The Mac Pro 7,1 has a 10 pin socket that is used to power 2x sata drives. Does anyone know the power limit for this? I’d like to use it to power 4x drives with a custom cable of course. Hopefully it can handle ~90W?

I recently bought an AMD RX 6800 video card. I managed to install it in the fourth PCI slot of my Mac Pro. I did not remove the MPX video card, it is still connected to the Apple XDR display via Thunderbolt cable. In Windows bootcamp I get a black screen. How can I use the RX6800 for windows and...

How do you guys run Starfield on your Mac Pro? After starting the game, I get a system message that my GPU driver is out of date. In fact, the latest one is installed. After the first mission, the game crashes on wakeup. I don't know why this is possible. Is it the GPU driver? What are you guys...

Hello all! I'm having a serious issue. I recently brought a 6900 XT to render in Redshift. Everything works fine in the OS, GPU is supported and I can browse and file etc... However as soon as I render in Cinema 4D/Redshift my screen goes green/black and my system shuts down and restarts. (I...

Ever since I moved my user folder to a separate internal drive (using a PCIe m.2 adapter), whenever I set any app to be the default for certain file types or in settings, it resets them to the defaults every time I reboot. For example, after I boot up, Outlook is no longer the default email...

I discovered a paged memory pool leak happening when any audio output of Apple Audio Device is active (this excludes Bluetooth devices because they use different driver) in Windows (in Boot Camp) and I request community help in collecting data regarding the issue. The problem was proved to be...

Hi Guys, I currently have a 7,1 that came with a 5500x mpx module, however instead of forking over £1000 for a 5700x module to Apple, I saw a few GPU's and by looking at the definite mac upgrade guide i see the Radeon VII being compatible as well. I purchased a Gigabyte Radeon VII which is...

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...

Hello, I have a severe problem with booting any 3rd party OS on my MP7,1 maybe due to T2 problems. So I have a usual Bootcamp installation with win10. Yesterday, a windows update and my subsequent repair attempts seem to have shredded my WIN10 installation, resulting in an endless boot loop...

Hi all, recently dived into a new world with boot camp on my MP 7,1. I’m really interested in installing a RTX 4090 FE. Was wondering if anyone had any experience with this card in the 7,1. I understand the card is quite new! I believe the FE is 304mm in length and my current 6900XT which I cut...

Hello Group!! I have two AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo MPX module and both MPX running pretty hot even at idle. I looked up and it said each MPX uses about 445watts of power. So does this mean every time the Mac Pro 7.1 runs, since I have two of this graphic cards, it consumes at least 890...

My 7.1 has an issue, my apple Magic Mouse is lagging BAD. I can't reboot for 10 more days. I have unpaired and repaired the mouse and powered it on and off and plugged it in with the Lightning cable. I also tried another known good magic mouse, deleted mine from my 7.1 and tried that and It had...

Ordered March 17 and it was shipped May 30 from Shenzhen, but held for 3 days in Hong Kong. 78 days wait. First tests were SSD speeds, and they were twice those from 2019 Mac Pro. (both had the 8TB option) Not too long ago, 3-4 years when 8TB SSD by themselves were over 20K USD. now under 4K...

Hi All, I recently acquired a 7,1 for a steal (thank you Apple Silicon!) and upgraded its existing 12 core Xeon to the 28 core w-3275, and everything seems to be running splendidly in Monterey, however in Windows 10 I am getting poor single core scores on the Xeon in Geekbench 5. Prior to the...

Hello all, Apple notified this AM my Mac Studio is somewhere near Hong Kong Airport in Chek Lap Kok. Was expecting it to ship before June 20. OK, I ordered a power backup with line protection and looking for a KVM switch to share a Pro Display XDR with the new Mac Studio with other Macs. Is...

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...
