    MP 1,1-5,1 Will a flashed GPU work in a PC?

    MP All Models Mac Pro 10X Overpriced. Seriously.

    A custom-built Ryzen 5900X/RTX 3070 machine from a reputable vendor now costs 1/10th of the nearest Mac Pro configuration. There's no hyperbole, that's the price disparity when you're seeking equal performance between a Mac and a PC at a high performance level. I've been, and still am an iMac...
