Hi to all,
I recently bought an old MP3.1 dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz with 12Gb Ram and 8800GT video card and it came with El Capitan. I managed to upgrade it to Catalina using Dosdude's patch and used the legacy video patch to get some degree of hw acceleration from my graphics card but now I got my...
I turn to you because I am forever grateful to you all who have shown me the way to hot rod my Mac Pro.
Right now, I’m losing this battle and I hope you guys will see the course of action I cannot.

First off please accept my apologies as I can see from the many many threads I've read about this that it's definitely been discussed before but I'm so completely lost with all of this now that I thought I should ask in a new thread.
I have a Mac Pro 5,1 (Mid 2010) which I bought when they...
Looking for some advise on getting the benq sw271 monitor to replace my cinema display I had for a decade. I want to print my photographs in house now and do some color grading too esp with my epson p800.

I'm looking for cards that have actually been tried that are not blocking the second PCIE slot in your cheese grater. I have the Sapphire Pulse Nitro RX580 at the moment and while it has been rock solid in both Mojave and Catalina it blocks the second slot which I would like to use. So I'm...

I'm upgrading from my Pulse RX560 4GB which is a great mid range card.
I want the extra VRAM to do some 1440p gaming
I know that the Sapphire Pulse RX580 is the undeniable winner brand for Mac Pro 5,1's but in Canada, especially when looking for 8GB models, I find they're about 40-50 CAD more...

a buddy has a GT120 for boot screen and a RX580 in a CMP and the System hangs during the boot process. Safe Boot worked and fiddling with the kexts worked once.
Has someone more knowledge about getting those two together ? GT120 is just for the boot screen. So it wont hurt if there is no driver...
