    MacBook Pro 16 4gb vs 8gb VRAM?

    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...

    A friend gave me his unused GTX 1080. I'd like to get it working in my cMP. It seems that Nvidia drivers work up only to 10.13 (I'm on 10.14 at the moment). I'm using this to run Folding@Home applications for COVID19 research. AMD cards (like the RX580 I have) aren't optimized to run...
