    Looking for a self-flash friendly "It just works" GPU for cMP 5,1

    Hi guys, I have recently joined the camp of the used cMP 5,1. It was my replacement for my beloved Mac Mini early 2009 that recently failed on me. As you can tell I can still live with a Mac Mini 2009, I am not a very demanding user. I use my computer mainly for daily web surfing, some office...

    Macbook GPU kernel panics resolved after Sierra update?

    Hey Folks! I was hoping someone with more knowledge than me knows what they did in the Sierra update that got rid of some GPU issues? I have a mid-2010 MBP 15' i7 and a couple years ago it would go into kernel panic every 20 minutes or so on yosemite. I had to give up on it because it was out...

    PCIe card -> 6pin 75W

    Good morning all, Like a few others here I didn't check the power requirements before buying the 1080Ti for my Mac Pro 5,1, and have been scrambling to find a solution for powering it which doesn't involve a secondary PSU or overtaxing the 2x6pins. I still have 1 PCIe slot available, and it...

    Anybody having problems with Fotos on MP 6.1?

    My previous post received no answer so I reformulated it hoping for more luck. Accessing the Foto-Mediatek directly from my user account through Pictures causes an intermitent dancing (blinking) desktop forcing me to shut down the MP 6.1 as the only solution. Any other application dances as...

    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...

Mine has failed 4 or 5 times in the past 6 years and when it went again last week I decided I have got my moneys worth and can’t justify another $600 to $700 to get it repaired in the knowledge that...
