Hey Guys & Possibly Girls
As title states, wondering if anyone has the Nvidia RTX and a Mac Pro 5.1 and happen to game?
Stating the obvious with Windows, wondering what your results are like if you'd be willing to share.

I made a thread like a month ago asking if people were still happy with their 5.1 in 2019 as I started to build a gaming PC and I'm just not happy with the quality behind it all and looking around eBay I can pretty much pick up a battered but working 5.1 for another 50% the cost of a current generation CPU.

Really been back and fourth with idea's, even considered going AMD for my CPU since there's a crazy deal on the Ryzen 5 2400G with The Division 2 for Free (which is the main reason I'm building a gaming rig) but at the same time it would be awesome to be able to have MacOS as a backup because I HATE windows with a passion.

Anyway, any shared experience would be amazing if you currently game with the 5.1 and the RTX 2060.

Much Love
 
I'm gaming with a 5.1 and a RTX2070 in Windows 10. I've got a single X5690, 24GB RAM (3 sticks) and it works really well.

Naturally a newer platform, such as a i7 9900K, would perform considerably better in games. If you're running in higher resolutions, such as 1440p or 4K, the performance loss would be reduced. But it’s still better to have a newer platform.
