Mac Pro CPU Compatibility List

Bokkow and I have created a Mac Pro CPU compatibility list. The intent is to cover all relevant and compatible CPU upgrades for all Mac Pros. These are asked about over and over and over again, so I thought it would be nice to have it all in one place. Constructive criticism, corrections to...

As a W3690 user I can safely say that the best Mac Pro 5,1 processor is the X5690.

would you happen to know the best GPU

Radeon VII anything better requires at least PCIe 3.0.

Depends on the OS X version. This guy has done all the work and builds Mac Pros up to the current gen:

Apple Mac Pro Tower Model 5,1 - Year 2010-2012 - iBuildMacs

12-Cores / 24-Threads Intel Xeon "Westmere" processors (2.66GHz up to 3.46GHz)
