MP 6,1 question about graphic cards

[muttleymac]

so is the d300 graphic cards fine. buying a used one on eBay and was thinking of getting one with d300s with the ram and hard drive specs i wanted.
i can get others but thought the d300 gpu would be ok as well so i don't have to fix gpus or upgrade anything

D300 is the worse MacPro6,1 GPU by far. Worse drivers/performance and crashes a lot. It's based on HD 7890 and even the PC version is 💩.

D500 made after 2018 is the sweet spot performance wise and the best one you can get for the money.

how do you find the year made

 

[tsialex]

Decode the SSN from the Mac, will get an approximated production date.

The SSN is there, go to a decoding site and get the production date.
