    GPU recommendation needed

    Hi Everybody! Seems like the built in standard Radeon 5770 of my 5,1 Mac Pro is getting long in the tooth- every time I resize windows or open/close a plugin window in Logic Pro X I'm getting clicks and pops and CPU loads temporarily shoot to max. The Mac has plenty of headroom for audio as...

    Radeon Pro 450 vs. 455 vs. 460

    I ordered the higher spec MacBook Pro with the Radeon Pro 455 but am wondering if I should consider exchanging and upgrading to the 460. Are there any benchmarks out there yet comparing the three GPU options?

    What GPU for a 4,1 for Photoshop & Lightroom?

    Like many others, I've pretty much given up on a Mac Pro update from Apple in the near future and am looking to upgrade a mostly stock (has a 2.5" SSD) 4,1 single CPU 2.66 Mac Pro with the nVidia GeForce GT 120. I've been reading threads related to GPUs and CPUs and my head is spinning. My...

    Poll: What GPU are you running?

    It's been a while since we had a poll. Multiple selections allowed in case you have multiple differing GPUs in a Mac Pro or multiple Mac Pros. Me: GTX980 flashed

    Dream: Apple Makes Amends with 17in Pro

    In an alternate reality, Apple listens to creative pros and introduces a 17in MacBook Pro. What would the machine (realistically) be? My wishlist. Five hour battery is fine. Power cord is normal. Real, killer PRO GPU. User memory slots to 64GB. Return of ports (for now). Real, PowerBook...

    LG 5K display w/eGPU? TB3 output?

    I have a new 2.9 Ghz 15" MBP on order, to be delivered some time between the 17th and 25th. Taking advantage of the recent discount, I also plan to order one - possibly two - of the 27" LG 5K displays before the end of the year. Ugly bezel aside, I look forward to the screen real estate. While...

    2016 Macpro rumors-gpu

    So I've been reading rumors about Apple putting AMD w9100 32gb gpu in the next gen Mac Pro. I believe this is a really bad mistake if Apple decides to do that. With the price of $5000 per gpu it's slower then the the Nvidia counter part, the p6000 with 24gb. Apple always uses Amd GPUs but...

    A10 Fusion GPU

    I've been looking at several tear downs and reviews and have not seen anything on the model GPU in the A10 Fusion chip. They usually have the PowerVR technology but on their website they don't show any chips that match the specs of the GPU in the A10. Anyone seen anything on the model GPU?
