what about the MP7,1 ?? Or after so many years on the rumour lists did you think that the 7,1 had already shipped?into the 8,1 MP

Walls work: Ask your routerI guess I was just too excited to see how well the Vega VII kicks NVidia to the curb in professional app performance that I added one to the mMp, calling it an 8,1. lol

Are those concrete routers? Or steel slats routers, or sensor walls?
I think that they are sensors....

What about Tensorflow - clearly an important professional app. What about ray-tracing rendering performance - clearly an important professional app.
If you look at yesterday's apps, the red team has made strides.
I don't think 7.1 will allow PC GFX cards if it has the T2 chip, it will be an apple version with apple Tax and possibly modular so yes I doubt it will be for 7.1 your quite right.
Do you have an educated guess or estimate in terms of timeframe for a suitable Mac driver in MacOS?
Sorry to say I have no idea what so ever on apples time frame for a driver, lets hope because its AMD they give it more urgency than Nvidia drivers. does any one remember how long it took to get vega 64 support in mac OSX?
All other platforms have a driver, just not OSX
Vega 56/64 drivers came within two macOS updates after the card was released. We saw the IDs arrive in one update and then final driver arrive in the next. That coincided with development of iMac Pro so likely that machine with get an update soon.
I also think Navi will be an Apple exclusive for a 2-3 months when it is released.

And Navi will go to the playstation 5 and Xbox I belive, we might see PC parts last qtr of 2019 or early 2020 will be good for a new Mac mini and imac's. in the new Mac pro I expect Vega and Polaris options. we shall see I guess.
And perhaps by 2022 they'll get most of the software problems fixed so that it's usable - but by then the pros will be running Z-Series.They could just end up creating upgradable desktop “compute towers” that connect to all TB3 Macs and will have Apple’s own GPU and storage upgrades.

The longer Apple works on the 7,1, the more likely it is that it will be a

and I doubt that the two people that Apple has working on the MP7,1 can pull it off at launch.
LOLISOSWIWDWhere did you get the #2? You write loads of insightful things but I doubt very seriously you have insight to know Apple has doubled the workforce on the MP7!

I was responding to a comment that "upgradable desktop “compute towers” that connect to all TB3 Macs and will have Apple’s own GPU and storage upgrades".
That's a huge software project for an entirely new paradigm, and I doubt that the two people that Apple has working on the MP7,1 can pull it off at launch.
Care to speculate on how you think they'll differentiate themselves from Z8?The cartoonish notion being presented is that Apple is going to try to exclusively try to lean on Thunderbolt. They have already made explicitly commentary that would not the best idea in the Mac Pro space ( back in April 2017). Does that mean they are simply going to clone an HP Z8? nope. There is a wide range of solutions available that go past "monkey see, monkey do".
I had a play with one today, looks very good in the Mac, haven't had a lot of time for a few months as my mother has been ill, but thought I would try this out in a Mac Pro 5.1. it boots ok but colours are strange, no boot screen. just like RX580
I did the PSU mod but direct to the motherboard socket plug that's plugs into the logic board and soldered the cable's for dual 8 pin supply. no issues with power. in windows 10 using watt man I can underplot it to 950mv and it still reaches target 1800mhz and the fans go to 1400 rpm under load. idel its quiet as a mouse.
some of the reviews say its loud but I don't think so even under load. the driver released which was on the 6th is better than the preview driver, but still needs work. bridge temp under load was 67c GPU 58c with undervolting so quite good.
I think this will improve with newer drivers for windows but as usual Mojave has no drivers ready, all other OS variations has a driver, but Mac no. what a surprise!
so you can see what it looks like here she is.
[doublepost=1549729601][/doublepost]every colour on the Mac looks reversed, red looks blue and the drive sleds look orange lol real strange. hopefully Mac drivers soon, but who knows!
how much space was left to the second x16 PCIe slot? could another card fit in?
It's used as a SSD controller, handling afps encryption, secure boot, touchid, etc.
There is some documentation about having to disable SecureBoot with third party graphics cards on the Windows side, so I would presume it a hardware verification related. To ensure the drive was still in the same machine-but that's a guess at best.
