gpu

Hi all. I have two Mac Pros. The first one is a 2009 Mac Pro 4,1. I applied the 4,1 to 5,1 firmware patch and replaced the 2.26 GHz Quad-core Nehalem processor with a 2.66 GHz Hex-core Westmere CPU. It is running a PC 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5770 which I have flashed with the Apple EFI ROM as per the...

So I've been reading rumors about Apple putting AMD w9100 32gb gpu in the next gen Mac Pro. I believe this is a really bad mistake if Apple decides to do that. With the price of $5000 per gpu it's slower then the the Nvidia counter part, the p6000 with 24gb. Apple always uses Amd GPUs but...

Hey, So I have a predicament. I decided to update my 5,1 from El Cap .6 to Sierra. Went through the usual process of popping my EFI card (an NVIDIA GT120) so I can see the load screen etc. Installing went fine. Installed the current web driver and then switched back over to my two screens out...

I'd like to ask if I should wait until the rumored October iMac or buy a refurb m395 model now. Will I see big gains from the Polaris gpu or the m395 is good enough for professional work. My main work is graphic design (illustrator, Photoshop, indesign), multi tab web browsing and causal video...

I've been looking at several tear downs and reviews and have not seen anything on the model GPU in the A10 Fusion chip. They usually have the PowerVR technology but on their website they don't show any chips that match the specs of the GPU in the A10. Anyone seen anything on the model GPU?

With the debate of which setup is the best for Adobe, i would like to seek an answer to go for an ATI card or an Nvidia card. Its not for an fight between the cards. Its about "what is the best gpu choice at this moment if you work in Adobe all day long". I think i am leaning towards an Nvidia...

Everything went well putting back together. Start it up and hear the chime... then black screen with 2 LED's showing on the...

Hi all :) Is there a way to set which GPU should handle the Boot screen of OS X ? I want my ATI Radeon 5870 not to be the GPU which handles the Boot screen of OS X. Rather I'd like to have my ATI Radeon 2600 XT handle the Boot screen ;) Regards !

I'd like to see if I have bought the best card for my budget (≤ £200) for my 2008 Mac Pro 3,1. I've installed and am successfully running the 4GB version of the Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 which is an unflashed PC card so no boot screen. I will admit that I bought the card on the...

Finally upgraded my ageing MacBook Air mid-2011 to a brand new rMBP 2015 15", the higher-end 2.5ghz model with AMD discrete graphics (gave up on waiting for the 2016 rMBP refresh/redesign and have always been a bit circumspect about buying first-generation new models anyway). Totally satisfied...

Hello guys, Currently I have a late 2011 machine with a 6770M card. The machine rocks with the i7 and 16gb ram. However, I do a little gaming too and I would like to run games on higher or ultra settings, but remain in full hd resolution or maybe try 2560x1440. Currently I'm running OS X on...
