Mac Pro (Octa-Core 2007) Video Card Compatibility
Hey, I'm considering investing in a 2007 Octa Core Mac Pro, but it doesn't include a Video Card. I've been thinking about the 6770, as it has 1GB of VRAM, and is still somewhat capable in 2019. The one I have my eye on is an Apple one, and comes with the cables, but I'm not sure if it would run... -

Recurring Kernel Panics: Mac Pro 2009

How to clean up a Mac Pro cpu after delidding
Hi, I'm experimenting with de-lidding a pair of (5677) processors for a Mac Pro I have. I decided to experiment with the "vice method" on an old processor I had left over from another upgrade. The de lidding with the vice went really smoothly....the top seemed to slide over a bit at first and... -

Hello Mac Rumors, I've been lurking these forums for a while ever since I have started building my Mac Pro almost a year ago. I have never needed to post a question that hasn't been asked before but I think it is time. I use a 4k monitor when I play video games on my Windows 10 partition and my...- NickthePirate

How long do you think the 2013 Mac Pro will be supported by macOS updates?
The 2013 Mac Pro is still on the market, being sold by Apple. I know Apple has pretty much never dropped software updates for devices less than 3 from the time taken off the market (with the exception of Xserve G5) so it should get macOS updates until 2022. Does this mean, in your opinion...- macrumor2018

Major Problems; is it MP 5,1 or High Sierra?
I've had nothing but problems with High Sierra, and I'm not sure if it's a hardware or a OS problem. I've not used the OS för nearly a year because of all of the issues I've had with it, but I thought I'd give it a go because of seeing the link speed for Sapphire Mac ATI HD7970 being upgraded to... -

I extensively benchmarked my 2018 Mac Mini+eGPU against my 2009 Mac Pro

Intersted in Classic Mac Pro
This is probably sort of a weird one... I have always loved the design of the classic Mac Pro and have wanted one for a while because of that. I'm an industrial design geek and just love how the Mac Pro looks and is constructed. So, I'm considering buying one. I don't have a specific use case...
