    5,1 graphical glitches after updating to 10.13.6

    Ok so after updating my 5,1 with RX480 to 10.13.6 I started getting bad graphical glitches on the bottom third of the screen with display port.

    eGPU and Sierra 10.12.5 - how goes it?

    Besides the Nvidia web driver issue, how are AMD Radeon 480/580 cards holding up? I'm running a vanilla install of 10.12.3 atm, looking to combo update to 10.12.5, and re-do a RX480 egpu on a nMP/d700/12c for extra resources to handle noise reduction passes in neatvideo for 6K video work...

    Dual R9 390x 8GB or Dual RX 480 8GB for FCPX?

    If powering any of the dual cards isn't an issue (planning to externally power them,) which pair would be better suited for fcpx? With prices of used 390x going pretty low around my area, I can buy two of them cheaper than what i've bought 2 rx 480 8GB for. Im currently running dual rx 480 on my...

    I've lurked here for a while to try and get some answers before I newbie'd myself but I'm not really getting anything that makes complete sense to me. Apologies in advance for the level of my questions and assumptions. My work was getting rid of some sold Macs after a team was laid off. I...
