macpro

since January I have a MacPro 2019 with the following config: 12 core 64 GB RAM 2 TB SSD Single VegaII in contrast to the numerous YouTube videos where there is raving about how quiet the MacPro is, I have to say that I perceive it quite loud. Definitely louder than my old MacMini setup with...

Hi ! :) I have a 2009 5,1 Mac Pro. It's been pimped up with faster CPU, Ram etc ... but my Sapphire Pulse 8GB Radeon RX 580 card isn't fast enough for playing 8k 3D 360 video. I've done Activity Monitor tests and the GPU is hitting the ceiling so i need faster. Any suggestions or is there not...

Hi! I want to run Logic Pro x and Final Cut Pro, but can’t really afford the hefty price tag on the new Mac Pro. I’m hopeless with specs, so was wondering if someone could help? Would this refurb Mac pro fit the bill? (spec below) And if not, how would I soup it up to do the job well? Many...

I'm looking for cards that have actually been tried that are not blocking the second PCIE slot in your cheese grater. I have the Sapphire Pulse Nitro RX580 at the moment and while it has been rock solid in both Mojave and Catalina it blocks the second slot which I would like to use. So I'm...

In an attempt to add a few more years onto my 5,1's lifespan, thought of this: Install a single slot RX 550 4 GB for macOS; upgrade to Mojave, possibly Catalina later on Continue using my current MVC-flashed GTX Titan X for Windows/Gaming purposes Use a KVM to swap between the video cards'...

Hello. Does anyone know about Dell UP3218K 8K Monitor compatibility with the Mac Pro 2019? I own this monitor but I’m only able to drive it using custom resolution on macOS Catalina at 7680x4320 @ 30Hz using two DisplayPort to Thunderbolt converter on an iMac Pro. I’m speculating this could...

An aggregate list of compatible components for the Mac Pro (2019) to be of reference when upgrading the machine. Will update the post from your suggestions bellow. CPUs (added by mikeboss) Intel Xeon W-32223 @ 3.5 GHz (8 cores) Intel Xeon W-3235 @ 3.3 GHz (12 cores) Intel Xeon W-3245 @ 3.2 GHz...

I wonder if this will ever be able to work in a MacPro 5.1 and what sort of benefits its may offer over a Radeon VII or Vega? https://www.amd.com/en/products/professional-graphics/radeon-pro-w5700

Hi. I'm thinking about using my good old MacPro 5,1 as a Time Machine backup server in my network. Can you recommend this? Will it be woke-up when one of the other Macs try you start a backup? Thanks for any help and advice in advance.

Dear all after a clean installof Catalina at the moment the only problem I have is about my mac that wake up randomly. I have handoff turned off, wake on network access off, wake by Bluetooth devices off. How do I check the log about wake up? I can’t find any entry using the command I find on...

Just looking for advice on the spreading method for the processor and the GPUs. I checked intels recommendations but the E5 is not listed. Also what brand do you recommend? I am looking at Gelid GC-Exteme. Thanks!

My current setup is a MacPro5,1 with a GTX Titan X (6+8 pin). Currently using a 6-to-8 pin adapter for the 8 pin input on the card. Would I need to pick up another 6-to-8 pin adapter since the EVGA PowerLink has dual 8 pin inputs?

Dear all can someone with nMP 2013, Lightroom Classic and Mojave installed can tell if 'Use GPU for image processing" is enabled in late Lightroom Classic August update? If so how do you judge the performance improvement via GPU? Thanks a lot.

does anyone know what happens? high Sierra Mojave and reference w10

Hey Folks, Just want to know if anyone can recommend a good 10Gb ethernet adapter for the MacPro (5,1). I've been debating on upgrading our network here including our data servers and internet speeds (to something over 1Gbs). Something that's plug in play would be awesome. I'm currently...

Hello Everyone, Ever so often when starting up my MacPro, it doesn't recognize the keyboard (OEM Keyboard). So I have to unplug it and plug it back in and then everything is fine. Another issue, which might be related, is I have a SDCard reader for my Camera. Sometimes when transferring files...

Hi All, I have a problem with a Mac Pro 3,1 Early 2008. Every single time that I install El Capitan when the computer restarts after completing the installation process, the Mac Pro gets hung and the Apple logo bot screen cannot pass thru half way of the load. I have installed Lion all the...

Hello, I recently bought a MacPro 5,1. Right away I upgraded the drive to a Samsung NVMe and the Graphics Card to a GTX 680 (Flashed). After loading up Mojave, I noticed some UI Lag (See video), which I don't even get on my MacBook Pro. I also notice when I'm on the iPhone Simulator (iOS dev)...

The ATI Radeon HD 5870 in my 2012 MacPro (5,1 running High Sierra 10.13.6) died earlier today. A moment of silence, please. It was driving my primary monitor which went black (while the menu monitor, driven by an ancient ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB, stayed on). After 20 seconds or so the...

I've read several reports of people having their PSUs dying, so I was wondering, since those Mac Pros are at least 10 years old, if it's finally time to get our hands dirty by opening the PSU, warming our soldering irons and give the thing some love with new shiny capacitors. Recapping is a...
