MP 1,1-5,1 Will a AMD Radeon W5700X MPX Module fit into a 5,1?

[Yzord]

Does anyone know if a AMD Radeon W5700X MPX Module fits into a Mac Pro 5,1?

 

[StuAff]

No. It won't work.

You would need a way to power it. Even then you probably won't get video from it.

I don't think anyone has tried making a riser to get PCIe access to the two Thunderbolt controllers on the MPX or get access to the two DisplayPort connections that go to the MacPro7,1 motherboard.

Wow, I was literally about to post this video a few seconds ago. Talk about timing.

Yeah as he showed, it will work but that 2nd pcie definitely is supplying power.

cool video, its nice that someone can drop 3500 euros and take it apart risking that it may not work afterwards.

This is MPX module now junk, definitively one more from the LTT school of video reviews. So many things wrong, like soldering the wires directly to the MPX slot or running benchmarks without even screwing the board to the heatsink.

Maybe this is fully intended, people discussing the 💩 will bring more views to de video.
