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...
Hi, I’have a 12 core mac pro, and I do 3D animation, with c4d and vray.
I need extra power to render my work.
I’m thinking of buying one maybe two old mac pro 8 core at 2.8ghz as render nodes.
They are 2008 - 2010 used computer around &400, $500 depending on ram to add.
Using team render...
