iMac in the oven at 390°, now it won't turn on.
I have a iMac 2011 27", EMC 2429, 2.7GHz, MC813LL/A, and I'm having problems. First one was the display shutting down randomly, likely due to the common problem with this iMac that Apple did recall here.

MBP 1,1-10,2 Disable MacBook Pro 2011 15"/17" Dedicated GPU - SPI-ROM Modification
I just thought I'd start this thread to announce a recent accidental discovery I made today -- a (possibly) PERMANENT solution to disable the dedicated video card in a 2011 15" or 17" MacBook Pro! Essentially, what needs to be done is the ME (Management Engine) region of your system's SPI ROM...- dosdude1

Security Bulletin: NVIDIA GPU Display Driver Security Updates for Speculative Side Channels
I know the macOS supplemental update 10.13.2 (17C205) addressed this at the OS level, but NVIDIA GPUs are impacted by Meltdown and Spectre... anyone have a clear indication if the NVIDIA Web Drivers for Mac "fix" this issue, or if additional firmware updates are needed? Since these NVIDIA GPUs... -

Hello, world! This is my first post on the forum here. I've recently gotten my new (to me) Mac Pro up and running. Next up on the list is to choose a GPU.

Life of my 2012 rMBP 15

Mac Pro 1,1 GPU upgrade
So I just got a Mac Pro 1,1 in a trade for some stuff I don't need or want. I'm going to be upgrading my CPUs with a pair of x5355's (or maybe 5365's if I'm convinced its worth it) and I noticed the GPU is lackluster. Can anyone recommend a GPU upgrade for it?

Previous generation MacBook Pro models without GPU issues?
I've been thinking about getting a used MacBook Pro. I'd like a model made between mid 2010 and 2015, but it seems a number of them have GPUs that will give out over time. From what I already know, it seems like 2012 pre-retina models are good, and pretty much anything after mid 2013 is okay...- Nabru50
