    Mac Studio with 20 Cores 128GB and 8TB SSD arrived!

    Ordered March 17 and it was shipped May 30 from Shenzhen, but held for 3 days in Hong Kong. 78 days wait. First tests were SSD speeds, and they were twice those from 2019 Mac Pro. (both had the 8TB option) Not too long ago, 3-4 years when 8TB SSD by themselves were over 20K USD. now under 4K...

    Poor Single Core Performance in Bootcamp Mac Pro 7,1 28 Core 64GB Ram

    Hi All, I recently acquired a 7,1 for a steal (thank you Apple Silicon!) and upgraded its existing 12 core Xeon to the 28 core w-3275, and everything seems to be running splendidly in Monterey, however in Windows 10 I am getting poor single core scores on the Xeon in Geekbench 5.

    MP 7,1 Is there an easy way to switch between GPUs?

    For context, I have a rx580 that came with the Mac Pro and a 6900XT I bought later. I could just use 6900XT but the problem is that it's producing so much heat. I live in a place where I don't have AC in my room so it gets too hot in the summer. I would like to use 6900XT only in certain...

    MP 7,1 GPU and XDR Compatibility Question

    I currently have the Apple Radeon Pro W5700X in my 7,1. I use it with a Pro Display XDR. I want to upgrade to a Radeon 6900X. Since I am using the Pro Display XDR (6k @ 60Hz) over ThunderBolt, am I basically locked in to using the Radeon Pro W6900X MPX Module and paying $6,000 for the same GPU...

    Studio Display and Mac Pro without a MPX Module and a 3rd party 6900 XT

    May be a stupid question, I know. Please pardon me if so. I removed the 580X MPX Module from my Mac Pro and am only driving a Sonnet 6900 XT, with has a HDMI port, 2 Display Ports and a USB-C port. Will the Studio Display work if attached to the USB-C port? Or do I will need a dongle? If...

    Anyone else "downgrading" from a 2019 Mac Pro?

    I waited years to upgrade my 2011 MBP to a dedicated Mac tower. I loved the 5,1s but wanted too wait for the new iteration. Then when the 7,1 was launched in 2019 the price was insane, but for better or worse I decided I'd waited long enough and I had the money even if it was overkill. I've had...

    My Magic Keyboard was connecting fine, and then I came back from winter vacation and none of my bluetooth devices are connecting. I have 2 Magic Keyboards I've tested. Sometimes they say connected , but typing results in nothing. They work fine plugged in via cable and have 100% charge. I've...

    I just installed the Sonnet Fusion U.2 and a Kingston DC1500M in my Mac Pro 7,1. The drive was recognized, formatted, and I’ve successfully installed and booted Monterey on it.

    Hello all, New 2019 Mac Pro owner, having a very bizarre graphics issue with my otherwise-wonderful machine. In Photos, occasionally zooming a picture (i.e., select it and press space bar) out to its full size results in this: Sometimes, it shows most of the picture but the blue "glitch"...

    MP 7,1 Mac Pro 2019 16 core... feels sluggish... anyone?

    Bought my 16 core MP 18 months ago... And while its definitely a multi-core beast, able to do huge Logic Pro sessions (my full time job)... it's just kinda sluggish feeling. Openings files, opening plugin windows, zipping files... I get the feeling that the chips are constantly "hanging up" or...

    MP 7,1 Mac Pro 2019 in Sleep Mode - (Fan Always On Behaviour)

    Hi guys, I'm used to put all of my Macs in sleep mode in the night. I put the Mac Pro 7.1-2019 in Sleep mode but I've noticed that the fans are still working in this mode, minimum range.

    Hi all! I've been messing around with the MPX Pro Vega II Duo recently and having a blast. Wondering if there's a way to control the clock speed via Bootcamp? Seems Apple locked the card down as well as the W5700. Thanks!
