    MP5,1: ASUS R560-OC-4G no video

    I just installed a ASUS radeon RX 560 installed in my MP5,1. I get no video, but 10.13.6 recognises the card in PCI devices when GT 120 is installed as well. My screen also registers a connected device when HDMI or DVI is connected, but no signal. Initially I thought it needed external power but...

    ATI Radeon 5870 for Photoshop on High Sierra

    Hi. I have just installed High Sierra on my 2008 Mac Pro 3,1. Everything works fine, except Photoshop CC gives me a message saying I need at least 512mb of VRAM to render Flame, Picture Frame, Tree and 3D. I am using an ATI Radeon 5870 GPU. This card has 1GB of RAM, so I don't understand why...

    Adobe Premiere hardware acceleration not working on Mojave after patcher update from High Sierra...

    I'm pretty sure before I updated to Mojave from High Sierra on my 2011 Macbook Pro (8,1) I had hardware GPU acceleration working in Adobe Premiere. I'm assuming this is an effect of having to patch the video card drivers in the Mojave patcher, though I could just be misremembering it from also...

    Mo’ cMP Radeon, Mo’ Problems: InDesign “HiDPI” Reqs, specifically…

    TL;DR: Now that I’ve upgraded my Sierra cMP from GT120 to RX 580, I was so eager to “enable GPU Performance” in 2019 CC InDesign. Y'know, the same way I can "enable GPU Performance" in 2019 CC PhotoShop and Illustrator. Alas... no. Adobe requires an “HiDPI" monitor to be tethered to my cMP/RX...

    Dual 980Ti Hybrids in Mac Pro

    So, I recently purchased a second 980Ti hybrid to put in my mac pro 5,1. I have been running a single 980Ti for about a year now and I found a good deal on a second one so I picked it up to put in my system.
