MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 5,1 + EVGA 980 Ti

[townlyy]

Hello!

I've read a bunch of different opinions on this so just looking for some clarification on some things...

1. Will I be okay installing a 980 Ti in my Mac Pro 5,1 running 10.13.6 (system overview attached)?

2. If so, is it plug and play?

3. Am I okay using the built in PSU?

Any other advice/recommendations is much appreciated! Thanks

1) Yes, Maxwell NVIDIA GPUs work up to 10.13.6 and require NVIDIA webdrivers to work.
2) No, you need to install the webdrivers before changing the GPU or you won’t get a working display. See the NVIDIA sticky thread for instructions.
3) It will work better if you buy an eVGA Powerlink to balance the power requirements, doing so it will work fine.

Hi

I'm having issues with my mac pro 5.1, and EVGA 980 ti doesn't seems to use Nvidia web graphics as default.

Did it work for you and if so, could you please guide me. my OS is 10.13.6 (17G14042) and I'm using latest web graphics 387.10.10.10.40.140 and cuda 418.163

Thanks.
