MP 7,1 NVIDIA 5090 in Mac Pro 7,1

[SDAVE]

I'd like to add the 5090FE whenever it becomes available.

I dual boot into Windows for gaming once in a while on my fully specced out Mac Pro 7,1 and my Studio Displays. Right now I have a 6900XT and it works great and the computer is more than fast enough for me for what I do on the Windows side (just gaming).

It seems that 5090FE requires 600 watts for power, would I be able to leave the 6900XT in there and still have the 5090 without an external PSU?

I tried the Titan RTX and it work fine under bootcamp, My question is I know that the 5090 will work on the Mac Pro under bootcamp but my problem lies on I have two Pro Display XDR and on the 5090 it does not have thunderbolt 3 on the 5090, Did some research can a thunderbolt 3 to DisplayPort cable work on the XDR to the 5090 or do I have to buy other monitor, I spent $14k on my XDR"s and it takes majority of the space on my desk

I dont know about the Pro Display, but I have the 5k Studio Displays (2 of them) and a OEM 6900XT in my Mac Pro and this cable works (I bought 2):

(There should be cheaper ones if you look around)

Since Pro Display is 6k i havent personally tried it.


I was thinking of keeping the 6900XT in my Mac Pro and then adding the 5090 and then using a DisplayPort switch to switch one of my monitors back and forth between the 6900XT (macOS) and 5090 (Windows)

FWIW I used my Studio Display with a 4070 Ti Super on my PC just fine - it was picky about which TB3 to DP cable though. Can't see why this wouldn't work under bootcamp.

I looked into a switch to switch Mac and PC with the Studio Display. Weren't many options and those that I did see it seemed the switching was a bit flakey. So gave up and just moved cables around. Then gave up on that and just hooked a spare monitor to the PC and installed Parallels on the Mac lol.

I know this doesn't help you much.
