    MP 1,1-5,1 Resolution oddness with flashed 7950

    I recently dropped a flashed PC Sapphire HD 7950 3GB into my cMP5,1. Oddly, it will only drive my Samsung 4K display at 1080p when running Mojave. However, if I reboot into Windows 10, it has no problem operating at 2560x1440. I found that if I used ResXtreme, I could force the monitor to work...

    GPU Tinkering for 2010 iMac

    Hello all, I recently acquired (for free) a 2010 iMac that wasn't operational. I got the OS running again, but it was all but unusable. So I upgraded the ram from 4 to 8 GB, added in an SSD in addition to the original HDD and ODD, replaced the thermal paste on the GPU and CPU, and upgraded...

    I live in India and am in a bit of a conundrum. I'm looking to buy the MBP 16 i9 but would like to upgrade the GPU from 4 to 8gb but the issue here is that BTO takes forever. The store said it could take a minimum for 45 days and given the COVID situation I'm not sure how long I'd be waiting...

I already have an OWC Mercury Accelsior E2 PCIe SSD 1tb card, which is my start up disk (APFS) and I'm running 10.13.6...

    What GPU will work for the new ARM CPUs?

    So far we've seen spectacular performances by the GPUs on iPads and iPhones. Those few graphic cores integrated on Apple APUs work great and reach easily 120 fps in games with Metal on pretty decent resolutions (the iPad), albeit dealing with a "stripped down" version of a PC game. However...
