    MP 1,1-5,1 GPU options for Mac Pro 1,1 running Windows 10

    I have a Mac Pro 1,1 and will only be running Windows 10 Pro on it (no Mac OS). It's currently running Windows really well and I want to make it more of a gaming machine. However, there seems to be a lot of info online regarding what can/can't be used. Since GPU's are so expensive now, I'm...

    VMware Fusion: graphics keep crashing

    I've been using VMware Fusion to virtualize Windows 10 on a late-2013 MacBook Pro for years. Around August, I started playing around with Windows 11. This mostly worked, but I frequently ran into a bug where WPF apps would crash. Event Viewer would show something like: Application: devenv.exe...

    MBP 1,1-10,2 MacBookPro4,1 neofetch GPU reporting, uh, confusion?

    I’m sure there’s probably a simple technical explanation behind this which I haven’t yet found on MR or elsewhere. Maybe the resident GPU experts on here — ahem, @Amethyst1 — might have some insight. Why would neofetch report a MacBookPro4,1’s GPU not as a GeForce 8600M GT, but as… an Intel HD...

    Performance Difference of iMac G3s GPU in OS X?

    I'm now working on iMac G3s to make a small collection of the colours I like best. I have a Blue Dalmatian 600MHz and I am looking at others. It will be slow since not so many people post them now. I only really like to run OS X on these, like I do on my other Macs, and I am interested in the...

    GPU Scheduling?

    After seeing the recent PyTorch article on reddit, ref I am curious if anyone has seen apple documentation or other trusted forum/news source/blog regarding GPU scheduling? What happens to the OS's GPU needs (and other windowed applications) when you fire up long running GPU based task? Is it...

    HELP, MBP 2015 13", I might have tried every possible solution in existence

    The ultimate update for fixing the MBP 16" Intel-based.

    Opinion based on owning a MacBook Pro 16" 2019 model bought on July 2020; i9, 16GB memory, 1TB storage. My MacBook has been a mess pretty much since I got it. I couldn't return it because I got it abroad, and even though on my local Apple service they did change the screen and consequently the...

    Adding 16GB to core GPU or to RAM

    I'm thinking of just the BASIC 16" MBP, 16 core GPU, 16GB RAM and 512 GB or 1TB SSD but am also considering soon buying X-Plane 11/12. I don't intend to run anything else that is 'heavy' (at the same time) but, other than gaming, need some RAM to work with spreadsheets. I kind of understand...

    Is GPU acceleration possible on the original Apple TV?

    I know that the first generation Apple TV runs a modified version of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and it’s possible to get regular Tiger and even Leopard running as well. However, those versions run like crap due to a lack of graphics acceleration via the built-in Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 GPU. I think...

    Windows 10 - Nvidia Tesla K10 problem

    Hello, I've got some NVIDIA Tesla K10 GPUs laying around and I was wondering if I could throw them into my good ol' MacPro 5.1. I made a Pixlas mod around a year ago and the PSU is powerful enough to handle two cards. However, only one card works. If I put two into it, the device manager says...

    Resolved 2010 iMac 21.5" GPU Upgrade diagnostic LED's?

    I am upgrading the GPU in my 2011 iMac 21.5". The card I have is an Nvidia Quadro K2000M from a Dell precision M4700. Trying to figure out if the card is faulty. I only get 2 diagnostic LED's. Should this card work out of the box? or does it require flashing first?

    MacBook Pro 16" lagging when clicking/typing with integrated GPU but not with discreet GPU

    I've had my 16" MBP for more than a year now and I've constantly had this problem: when typing, every few words, the computer will freeze for a split second. This leads to inadvertent typos as I think I made a mistake when I didn't. The same happens in Safari when clicking on Favorites: I will...

    Thoughts on dedicated GPU being present in refreshed 16" MacBook Pro?

    Hello all. I've been having some thoughts that I've been wanting to voice but I haven't been sure on how to put it and, more importantly, where. I haven't seen much discussion on this recently, so I figured I'd start a forum thread on it. I've been thinking quite a bit about the future of the...
