    iMac with eGPU without external display for fcpx and Davinci Resolve?

    Hello everyone i’m wondering if anyone’s tried this combo, there’s a script called set egpu that allows you to harness most of the egpu power without using an external display.

    iMac 21 (Late2013) slow boot on Mojave

    Hey, guys. I have a Late2013 iMac (2,9Ghz i5 / 8GB / 1GB video) running the SO in a external 1TB SSD and I never had speed problems. I use the internal HDD for storage only, there is no SO installed in... That internal 5400rpm is really a joke. I was at Sierra (not the High) and decided to...

    Shader Model 3.0

    When I try and open a game I have just installed, I get the following message and log. I am guessing this means it isn't compatible with my graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB)? Is there a work around to try and make it work on this iMac? As much as I would love to upgrade this 2011...

    Will the Mac Mini be fast enough?

    Hi, I managed to convert my Dad from Windows to Mac last year. I purchased him a refurbished 2014 Mac Mini, 1.4GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD which turned out to be horrendously slow. He only used it for Mail, Safari, Word & Excel and even though I consider that to be pretty light, it was so slow it...

    2012 iMac (upgraded) vs 2018 (entry) iMac Pro?

    I have a late 2012 iMac, (upgraded to 32 GB Memory) and Geforce GTX 680MX I do a fair bit of After Effects and 4K video editing work. If I upgrade to an entry-level iMac Pro (3.2GHz 8-core, 32GB Ram, Pro Vega 56) would I notice a substantial performance increase? Thanks.
