    Dear all can someone with nMP 2013, Lightroom Classic and Mojave installed can tell if 'Use GPU for image processing" is enabled in late Lightroom Classic August update? If so how do you judge the performance improvement via GPU? Thanks a lot.

    MP 6,1 2013 Mac Pro not going to Sleep

    Walked into my office this morning to the sounds of a gentle fan. Felt the trashcan, very warm. What is going on? I'm on the latest version of Mojave. It's weird because when I am in windows 10 via bootcamp, it actually goes to "cold" sleep no probs. Anyone have similar problem? Thanks!

    MacPro Late 2013 + eGPU Blackmagic + LG 5K

    Hi, Could I branch an eGPU Blackmagic via the Apple Thunderbolt 3-Thunderbolt 2 adapter to a nMP (Quad Core/D300) in order to make use of the 5K Retina mode on the LG Ultrafine? If I well understood there should be a working terminal command for those external GPU (which are not supported via...

    2018 MBP + Black magic eGPU vs 2013 Mac Pro

    How does this set up compare to the 2013 Mac Pro's (ie 13" or 15" base models w/ the blackmagic eGPU vs the D300, 500, 700) I have a 2013 nMP and 2012 rMBP, looking into getting a base model 13" 2018 MBP for more portability.

    Looking for pros and cons; all things equal If one has nothing on a thunderbolt bus, bus 1 for example, is there any benefit to directly connecting two separate thunderbolt displays directly to the two thunderbolt ports for bus 1, verses connecting one TB display to the nMP and daisy chaining...

    [MacPro6,1] Is it possible to mix up two different GPUs?

    Hi, Is it possible to replace just one of the GPUs in the Mac Pro Late 2013? As for instance, having the original D300 in slot A (primary GPU) and the D700 in slot B (secondary GPU), or vice versa. If so, how does macOS deals with such a mixed solution? Thanks. Best, Giampiero

    MBP M.2 to Apple PCIe adapter in nMP

    I've seen a few of these from Sintec among others. These are passive adapters as far as I can work out som the compatibility mentioned have to do with Apple compatibility rather than the adapter itself (unless I'm completely out left field). Now, I need to upgrade my internal storage as well as...

    SteamVR beta coming to macOS, Linux soon

    SteamVR to Get Linux and Mac OSX Support Within “a Few Months” Guess we'll have to see what Vulcan / MoltenVK can deliver on dual d700s for the time being. And once again the cMP shows its advantages. Hopefully there will be some advances on the eGPU front.
