    Will the GV-NTITANXD5-12GD-B card work on a Mac Pro 5.1 Mid 2010

    Hi!. I want to buy the GIGABYTE GV-NTITANXD5-12GD-B video card to use it in my Mac Pro Mid 2010. I wanto know if it will work do to the fact that the card is PCIe-3. If it works I know that I may have to flash it to make it work on the Mac. Thanks for your help.

    Dual Nvidia GPU Mac Pro Mod

    With no other viable options at the time, I made the following upgrades to a 2010 Mac Pro (5,1) about two years ago - primarily for rendering with VRay. VRay uses CUDA, so the AMD GPUs of the trashcan Mac were of little use and adding Thunderbolt chassis for external GPUs would have just added...

    Major problem with nvidia drivers in High Sierra.

    This is reposted from another thread, hopefully more eyes will see it and maybe make sense of it. In my 2009 MP, flashed to 5,1, I have tested dual K5000 mac edition cards, and 680 mac edition in the case, and two K5000 in an nvidia quadro plex. They work almost correctly in el capitan, but not...

    Previous generation MacBook Pro models without GPU issues?

    I've been thinking about getting a used MacBook Pro. I'd like a model made between mid 2010 and 2015, but it seems a number of them have GPUs that will give out over time. From what I already know, it seems like 2012 pre-retina models are good, and pretty much anything after mid 2013 is okay...
