mac pro (early 2009) upgrade

Hi everyone ... I'd like some advice on upgrading my 2009 classic 4,1 Mac Pro please (firmware updated to v5,1). As you can see from system profile report, I have already upgraded processors, ram and hard drive to Samsung 840 EVO 1TB 2.5-inch Basic SATA Solid State Drive connected via PCIe. I...

TL;DR: Now that I’ve upgraded my Sierra cMP from GT120 to RX 580, I was so eager to “enable GPU Performance” in 2019 CC InDesign. Y'know, the same way I can "enable GPU Performance" in 2019 CC PhotoShop and Illustrator. Alas... no. Adobe requires an “HiDPI" monitor to be tethered to my cMP/RX...

So, I recently purchased a second 980Ti hybrid to put in my mac pro 5,1. I have been running a single 980Ti for about a year now and I found a good deal on a second one so I picked it up to put in my system. I chose to go this route over purchasing a single 1080TI primarily for the cost. This...

Hello all, I am running a mac pro 5,1 2009 It has 2x 3.46 ghz processors and 32 gb ddr3 RAM and a Evaga GTX 1060 6gb. I am getting fantastic frames and performance when i boot into windows 7 via Bootcamp but when I am in mac os and using programmes like final cut pro x I get very bad sluggish...

Hey all. Probably a bit of a dumb question. But I am having to upgrade the RAM in my 2009 8-Core Mac Pro. It came with 4 2GB memory sticks. I have a total of 8 slots. I recently purchased two 8GB sticks. So I was wondering if I could install the 2x8GB and 4×2GB to equal 24GB. Or do they all...

I am short on pcie slots in my mac pro 4,1 and I would like to add a second predator hyperX m.2 pcie SSD card ... but I *ALSO* would like to add some USB3 ports ... Does there exist a card that can do both ? I saw this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWXJT4C/ (SIIG Legacy and Beyond...

Hey all On a whim I sourced a tray upgrade to 12-core duallie from my extant vanilla singleton, prompted in part due to downtime incurred rebuilding a Win7 volume after an HD failure. Only now, in the home stretch and after migration of user data and syncing applications, did it occur to me...

Just installed: 10.13.2 But I still have a new update available: 10.13.2 This is nuts! Anyone else seeing this?

I have a flashed MacPro 2009 (4,1 to 5,1) that is an awesome machine, 12 cores etc etc. I use OSX and Windows regularly. But with no boot screen, I can't reliably choose a boot disk on startup. I basically have to guess (2 right keys then enter for OSX) but it doesn't always work. Obviously...

I have an '09 Mac Pro, flashed from 4,1 to 5,1. Does anyone know if software update no longer supports this model and, if not, is there a hack that will allow the Mac Pro to be recognized by software update? Theoretically, the 5,1 flash should have eliminated differences between it and the...

Hi there, Starting my own thread since I figured out I would have lots of questions and it would be easier to post them in my own topic instead of bumping up everybody's old threads. I've been wanting to buy a Mac Pro for a very long time, my wish was a 2012 2x6 3.43ghz, but I didn't have the...

I got an XFX RX 480 Graphics card (https://www.amazon.com/XFX-RX-480P836BM-Radeon-3Displayport-PCI-Express/dp/B01KCWZ0DM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496245661&sr=8-1&keywords=xfx+rx+480+8gb), and I can't seem to get it to fully work properly. I followed this guide...

I have recently started preparing my older Mac Pro 4,1 (Early 2009) 8-Core Dual 2.26MHz for switching OS X from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to El Capitan 10.11.6. I mainly use this machine for working in Adobe CS4 application suite, and now plan to use the machine for additional video editing in Final...
