    Worth it to upgrade GPU on 2010 Mac Pro while waiting for the new one?

    Not trying to get too far ahead of myself here, but it does seem quite likely that I will get either the next Mac Pro or possibly an iMac Pro to replace my current mid 2010 Mac Pro. I really don't know much about GPUs, but I heard that NVIDIA now supports Macs and I wonder if it would be worth...

    Can we put AMD/Ryzen Mac rumours to end

    I have no idea why people would even want Ryzen Macs. Core for core, thread for thread, AMD is behind Intel. The only reason r/AMD circle jerks these processors is because how cheap they are, mindlessly comparing them against the 7700K which is a 4c/8t processor. If you're an Apple customer...

    Mac Pro 4.1 5770 mini display port issue

    Hi all, long time lurker first time poster. I've got a Mac pro 4.1 2.26Ghz that has been flashed with 5.1 firmware. The issue is that I've just installed a flashed XFX HD 5770 like this one to use as a back up card and it all works fine apart from the mini display port. I get the apple logo and...

    Is it possible??...a long-term "solution" for 2011 dGPU failure that defaults the system to the iGPU

    The 15-inch 2011 MacBook Pro is something that Apple and AMD both probably wish to put behind them. However, for those that own the computers, doing so isn't quite as easy, because they are aware that they have a fully functional computer, minus one part, and that the system itself ironically...

    Poll: Nvidia vs AMD

    A few years ago, Apple switched all of its Mac from Nvidia to AMD. While this move is fine or even appreciated for some users, there are some of us who prefer Nvidia. While I'm not a big fan of the iMac and the Mac Mini due to the lack and/or difficulty of repairs and upgrades, I may be willing...

    Gradient banding when using discrete graphics in Sierra

    Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well. Just a quick question, does anyone by any chance have any idea why my screen looks like this? Like the rendering of the transparency/soft blur effect seems messed up, showing weird gradients of unmixed colouring or something. I don't exactly remember...

    2011 MBP-15in GPU failing -- want Lead GPU Reballing References

    I have a 2011 MBP-15 with the defective GPU design that now is failing (and the program has ended.) I want to have the GPU reballed, as it seems the only option that might work for a reasonable price with a semi-reasonable outcome. I considered: Purchasing a used 2011 logic board for $350-450...

    D700 FreeSync compatible?

    What is the most stable AMD 480 8GB version?

    Hey guys I am in the process of upgrading the graphics card of my flashed Mac Pro 4,1. I use Final Cut Pro X daily (work). I’ve heard good things about the XFX version of the card as it appears to be stable enough for higher work loads. Is this true? What do you guys recommend?

    Question about AMD's Pro 460

    I currently have a Dell XPS 15 with a 960m on it. Will Radeon's Pro 460 be an upgrade or downgrade? I only do light video editing and some gaming that my current 960m handles just fine. I couldn't find much info about the Pro 460. Thanks in advance!

    "hello again" Connecting the dots

    “hello again.” Apple has thrown down the gauntlet, invoking the slogan of Macintosh (and iMac) past to (hopefully) imply that they’ve got something mighty impressive for us next Thursday. And I’d like to think I may just have an idea as to what it could be. Now, maybe I've just been...

    Upcoming iMac Graphics

    The desktop Kaby Lake processors will be released later this year but AMD hasn't given any information regarding Polaris GPUs. Apple could: Keep the same GPU options. Use the re-branded 300 series GPUs (however there are only 3). Use Nvidia. Announce it and release it later this year/next...

    If I get the eGPU AMD RX 480 will it work automatically?

    Just curious as I know that Macs don't necessarily need drivers directly from AMD as Macs typically come with AMD drivers pre-installed. Right now I'm thinking about buying a GTX970, but the upcoming AMD RX480 is cheaper and seems like it's going to be quite affordable ($200). Will it work on Macs?

Totally satisfied...
