    MP 7,1 Is there an easy way to switch between GPUs?

    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...

    MP 7,1 GPU and XDR Compatibility Question

    I currently have the Apple Radeon Pro W5700X in my 7,1. I use it with a Pro Display XDR. I want to upgrade to a Radeon 6900X. Since I am using the Pro Display XDR (6k @ 60Hz) over ThunderBolt, am I basically locked in to using the Radeon Pro W6900X MPX Module and paying $6,000 for the same GPU...

    Studio Display and Mac Pro without a MPX Module and a 3rd party 6900 XT

    May be a stupid question, I know. Please pardon me if so. I removed the 580X MPX Module from my Mac Pro and am only driving a Sonnet 6900 XT, with has a HDMI port, 2 Display Ports and a USB-C port. Will the Studio Display work if attached to the USB-C port? Or do I will need a dongle? If...

    Anyone else "downgrading" from a 2019 Mac Pro?

    I waited years to upgrade my 2011 MBP to a dedicated Mac tower. I loved the 5,1s but wanted too wait for the new iteration. Then when the 7,1 was launched in 2019 the price was insane, but for better or worse I decided I'd waited long enough and I had the money even if it was overkill. I've had...

    MP 7,1 Bluetooth not working - 2019 Mac Pro, Catalina 10.15.7

    My Magic Keyboard was connecting fine, and then I came back from winter vacation and none of my bluetooth devices are connecting. I have 2 Magic Keyboards I've tested. Sometimes they say connected , but typing results in nothing. They work fine plugged in via cable and have 100% charge. I've...

    MP 7,1 Sonnet Fusion U.2 and Kingston NVMe Panic/Crash

    I just installed the Sonnet Fusion U.2 and a Kingston DC1500M in my Mac Pro 7,1. The drive was recognized, formatted, and I’ve successfully installed and booted Monterey on it. However, shutdown and manual reboot both result in a kernel panic and subsequent restart. Sleep apparently causes the...

    MP 7,1 Weird graphics rendering/glitch in Photos

    Hello all, New 2019 Mac Pro owner, having a very bizarre graphics issue with my otherwise-wonderful machine. In Photos, occasionally zooming a picture (i.e., select it and press space bar) out to its full size results in this: Sometimes, it shows most of the picture but the blue "glitch"...

    MP 7,1 Mac Pro 2019 16 core... feels sluggish... anyone?

    Bought my 16 core MP 18 months ago... And while its definitely a multi-core beast, able to do huge Logic Pro sessions (my full time job)... it's just kinda sluggish feeling. Openings files, opening plugin windows, zipping files... I get the feeling that the chips are constantly "hanging up" or...

    Hi, I have a Mac Pro with an 4TB OWC Accelsior 4M2 PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD Adapter Card. The card is setup as a Raid and formatted to APFS. The card seems to be working well. However I've just noticed that although the files on the drive only total around 400GB, it shows that I only have 1.3TB of...

    MP 7,1 Mac Pro 2019 in Sleep Mode - (Fan Always On Behaviour)

    Hi guys, I'm used to put all of my Macs in sleep mode in the night. I put the Mac Pro 7.1-2019 in Sleep mode but I've noticed that the fans are still working in this mode, minimum range. Doesn't look like a real sleep mode. I mean...until now sleep mode to me was a virtual "turn-off", but with...

    MP 7,1 MPX Pro Vega II Duo Wattman control?

    Hi all! I've been messing around with the MPX Pro Vega II Duo recently and having a blast. Wondering if there's a way to control the clock speed via Bootcamp? Seems Apple locked the card down as well as the W5700. Thanks!

    MP 7,1 OpenCore on Mac Pro 7,1

    Hi all, I currently have a Mac Pro 7,1 running Big Sur and Windows 10 on separate drives. I use an RTX 2060 GPU on the Windows side for the NVENC video encoder when live streaming. Unfortunately, while this is okay in macOS, it is breaking my Sleep/Wake functionality. I would like to hide it...

    MP 7,1 GPUs in both slots 1 AND 2?

    I couldn't find the answer on google, so I'll ask here. I get a PCIe device error on startup when I put the RP580X MPX in slot 1 and a RTX 3090 in slot 2. Setting aside the folly of putting a 3090 into a 8x slot for the moment, why would this cause an error? Anyone else experience this? Does...

    MP 7,1 Zotac Trinity RTX 3090 Mod

    TL;DR: Remove the main outer plastic shell of the Zotac Trinity RTX 3090 and it will fit in the 2019 Mac Pro 7,1 My Mac Pro recently came in and sure enough, it seems like almost every RTX 3090 out there is too big. I'm really more of a data science type, so I got 2x Zotac Trinity RTX 3090's...
