    MP 1,1-5,1 MacPro 4,1 / 5,1 Adequate Wattage / Wiring: 980 Ti or 1080 Ti GPU

    SOLVED via 'Pisla's Mod" It doesn't appear as difficult as it looked at first glance: It consists of using simple taps on 8 long wires, which are routed from the DVD area through the HDD shelf, to the GPU. I'll post any extra details or pictures after I do it ... as I'm sure I"ll find areas...

    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...
