    Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti in Mac Pro 4,1->5,1?

    Hey guys, I'm thinking about switching out my dual RX 480's for a single GTX 1080 Ti. The lack of Apple support on AMD's front (vice versa) and the newly acquainted support from Nvidia is making me seriously consider a switch. I was wondering if anybody has a 1080 Ti running in their Mac Pro...

    Which NVIDIA 1060?

    Based on my other post, it looks like the best bang for the bug might be a NVIDIA 1060. So now the question becomes which NVIDIA 1060? Which manufacturer / card has had the best results for those who have previously used NVIDIA cards?

    Worth it to upgrade GPU on 2010 Mac Pro while waiting for the new one?

    Not trying to get too far ahead of myself here, but it does seem quite likely that I will get either the next Mac Pro or possibly an iMac Pro to replace my current mid 2010 Mac Pro. I really don't know much about GPUs, but I heard that NVIDIA now supports Macs and I wonder if it would be worth...

    Can we put AMD/Ryzen Mac rumours to end

    I have no idea why people would even want Ryzen Macs. Core for core, thread for thread, AMD is behind Intel. The only reason r/AMD circle jerks these processors is because how cheap they are, mindlessly comparing them against the 7700K which is a 4c/8t processor. If you're an Apple customer...

    NVIDIA Pascal in 2018 Mac Pro

    Now that Apple has officially announced that there will be a modular, upgradeable Mac Pro next year, NVIDIA now has incentive to make Mac drivers for Pascal cards! Even if Apple opts out of working with NVIDIA, users will now be able to upgrade their cards manually. So hopefully NVIDIA takes...

    I've been deaf to all the users making their Mac Pro's new again with Nvidia 9xxx series cards.
