Hello! Before I ask my question here is the stats of my mac pro:
2009 Mac Pro (4,1 -- firmware upgraded to 5,1)
8GB DDR3 ECC RAM
Intel XEON W3530 2.8GHz 4 Cores 8 Threads
OS X El Capitan 10.11.4
My question is that I have two GPUs in the system. One is the stock apple-branded
GT120 and the other is a EVGA GTX 650. Due to the whole "no boot screen" issue
with non-apple GPUs I use my monitor plugged in to the GT120. What I wanted to
ask is if Final Cut Pro X will use the strongest GPU in the system for rendering or if
it'll use the one that the monitor is plugged in to. If it has to do with the monitor,
what would happen if I had dual monitors, one plugged into the GTX650 and one on
the GT120, and then moved the Final cut Pro X window to the monitor with the GTX?
Another thing, I was wondering if a similar concept went with Parallels virtualization or
even with gaming...
(unless there's a way to flash the GTX.. but looking into it there doesn't seem to be any
available ROMs for it)
