OK, so this is a crazy, off the wall idea... but what if it was possible to design and implement a replacement PCB that would fit the standard CPU tray and heat sink of a classic Mac Pro 5,1? If you don't mind me summarizing 557 pages and over a million page views from the "Waiting for Mac Pro...

I only use audio software, but my graphics slow down more than usual during large sessions. I only see a blank box under Activity Monitor GPU History. Does...
Hello everybody,
as my current system is already 7 years old now, I am in the market for a new desktop. When the rumors about the new Mac Pro started, I thought "Well, I'll just wait to see what they announce and how much it costs." - That was before they announced the pricing of the new Mac...
Hi there,
I was wondering, with the multitude of applications that are going to be meant for use on the new Mac Pro, what are their GPU requirements?
With all these high-power GPU MPX Modules available, will the applications that are meant to be used by them actually need all that GPU power...
I am really trying to understand how these "pro-app" developers are going to utilize the Mac Pro 2019... more specifically, the work flow of (Mac Pro 2019 + MPX Modules + Afterburner + Metal + Pro-App Developers).
With a fully configured Mac Pro (w/ MPX Modules and Afterburner), how will a...

Hey guys!
So, recently i've been buying and selling a ton of macs because I just can't decide what's best for me. Here is the situation.
My daily driver has been a 2013 Maxed out 15' Mbp with a 750m. Until recently, i've just been "docking" it at home with my main monitor. I didn't like the...

Hi there,
Could anyone provide some insight on whether the new Mac Pro 2019 is going to be compatible with third party PCIe expansion cards? I was looking to buy the low-end model which only has a 256GB SSD, and expand my storage performance via PCIe 3.0 x 16 RAID Controller cards... is this a...
Let's say you've fixed up a classic Mac Pro, and it's going to a new home. You've installed a new GPU and upgraded the OS to Mojave, maybe preloaded some useful apps like Macs Fan Control, or given the NVMe boot drive a better looking Finder icon. You don't want to completely reinstall macOS...

so every time I load the plugin it crashes.
