- In this informal video I'll be going through the process of upgrading my 2009 4,1 Mac Pro that I upgraded to 5,1 to get ready for installing macOS Mojave. After a recent update of macOS High Sierra my AMD Radeon R9 380 stopped working in macOS, and since its not supported in Mojave as far as I know, I decided to put a more modern RX 560 4gb in the computer.

2 things: The graphics card on the carpet has a backplate, and also isn't connected to anything so I'm not too worried about static, it's not that big a deal. Also there are 2 x16 PCIe slots on this machine, and the RX 560 only uses x8 anyway so it's not too big a deal.
you dont know anythin about static
The 560 did not have a backplate and you obviously know nothing about static
The new boot ROM update should allow RX 560/570/580 to run at x16 (5.0GT/s). So anyway, welcome to the dark (mode) side.
Hi Luke,
thank you for your video.
i have also a MacPro 5.1. I have a flashed GPU for Mac: the "AMD Radeon R9 280X".
I checked the hardware overview before installing Mac OS 10.14, and "Metal" is supported with this card. I made the update with no problems - and i have a boot screen.
I don`t understand why the "AMD Radeon R9 380" stopped working in your case.
Looks like hotel carpet.
Hey there Luke Miani 😁 I actually love these old vids of yours, even though it’s been so long. In fact, your videos convinced me to invest in a 5,1 Mac Pro for 2023! It’s running dual X5690’s with Liquid Metal for the absolute maximum performance and then some! But I’m also running NVME SSD for my OS, in the PCI slot, and a SATA SSD as well, with a large capacity for my files. And the best part is the RX 6600 XT which is the most powerful GPU that you can currently put in these machines and still be supported under OpenCore Legacy Patcher with the latest macOS, Sonoma. OpenCore gives me full GPU acceleration and makes video editing a breeze. In terms of CPU it beats M1 and easily holds its own against M2, and in terms of graphics, it’s the most powerful graphics in any Mac except the latest pro Apple silicon (and probably the Vega II Mac Pro)!
An Apple computer you can upgrade yourself..... That sentence is pretty rare.
And so easily!
It is now, but man, for the majority of Apple's history, their machines were every open and upgradable. They've kind of come full circle with the Mac, as it started out as that little "toaster" model that wasn't meant to be opened by the user, but then went quickly to the opposite extreme with the Macintosh II line and beyond, all the way up to those lovely Mac Pro towers. Apple was targeting business and enterprise during those 20+ years. Macs were as open as PCs, if not more so, at least where hardware was concerned, and it was good. If you haven't seen them, check out the tower designs they were using for the G3 and G4 Power Macintosh systems beginning around the turn of the millennium. They swung wide open, revealing the internals and making hardware swaps and upgrades a cinch. That whole side was held shut by a simple latch.
You can also upgrade a 2009 to a 5690 xeon chipset which is still awesome to this day; 24 CPU threads with hypertheeading boosted to almost 4ghz.
4:12 cards like that should ALWAYS be in the bottom 16x pcie slot. That will solve the flicker issue
Hey luke! I have a bunch of information for you! When you update to mojave be sure to perform the most recent firmware update called 138.0.0.0 this gets rid of the screen flickering (that only happens on 1080p and some other resolution) on your rx 560. It also unlocks 5gt/s for you, you don’t need a flashed gpu to perform this update snd you can stay on high sierra with this firmware upgrade if you want to as well! I hope this helps!
I miss my 5.1 so much, and I can say that is the one thing I regret selling till This day. Mine was 2x 2.4 Xeon with 5770 and 16 of ram, put an SSD on it and it runs EVERYTHING, I mean, literally everything wanted, music making and video editing. I recommend to anyone who has a chance of grabbing one.
They were workhorses. Probably only thing i would buy from rotten Apple nowadays
I got a mid 2012 MAC PRO Quad 3.2Ghz and it can be upgrade to 6 core and holds up to 32GB of ram. I have not done any major upgrades as of yet. I had purchased mine just before macOS Sierra came out. Got it for $600. It was a refurbished one. Had for almost 3 years now. LOVED IT! I don't think I will ever sell it. I still have the Power Mac G4 FW 800 Mirrored Door which is the LAST model made before Apple changed it to the cheese grate design a G5. Then they went Intel based about a year after that. Sorry that you sold your 5.1.
@@grafxdesigner93 that's a great machine you got there Rodney, and I'm trying to recover mine. The production company that bought from me is not even using it, they had some other stuff going on and are on a break, so I'll try to take this opportunity for sure.
Diego Oliveira I hope you get it back or find another one.
@@grafxdesigner93 thanks buddy. All the best!
Just got back from a class reunion this past holiday weekend. I was just thinking of doing some upgrades to my mid-2012 Mac Pro 5.1 on the way back to prepare myself for 2019 goals that I have in mind. This video is right on time. Thanks! Awesome!
I’d recommend sitting the new card in place of your GT120 in slot 1 for full bandwidth and removing the 120 or putting it in another slot
same
yea, you dont need the 120 unless you have to have a boot screen.
He will have to remove it anyways once 10.14 comes out, might as well take it out now.
Well the best possible solution is to keep only the RX560 in and take out the GT 120 because the mac pro PSU is not very well made to run the power hungry AMD card and the old power hungry GT120, i have had same issues in the past where i was with GTX960 and the original GPU and Higher card was getting less power and glitching because the PSU did not provide the right watts needed for both cards to run right and then in few yers i switched to GTX 780 Founders Edition and ever since then my mac never had a problem no to say the 780 is 97% faster then the RX560 for less money and it 100% mac os supported and metal capable with less heat and not as much power as would the RX560 take under load..
the RX 560 Consumes 3,3 Times less power than the GTX 780 and also has the advantage of being optimized by Apple with every update It also supports Half Precision compute and has the same Double Precision Compute than the GTX 780 but I must admit I would have gone with an RX 570 Would have been better but the FP 16 Compute is valuable and also the better Power Consumption
Just today (12/18/18) flashed and updated to 5,1. Bought a new Mac Pro 2009 on Craigslist, I was checking at the right time. The seller never used it and had stored it away since 2009 Plus got the Apple KB and Mouse with it, both new. Current Specs: 2 processors x 2.26 GHz Quad, 8 cores, 8GB Ram, 650GB HDD and the GT 120 / 512MB. BTW cost me $100.00. Ran Geekbench prior to doing my total upgrade: Single-Core = 2006, Multi-core 13165. Cinebench CPU = 745. I have the upgraded processors on order, plus 32GB of Ram and will install a SSD using a PCI Express (PCIe) SATA III (6G) SSD Adapter and will go with the Sapphire 11267-18-20G Radeon Pulse RX 560 4GB GDDR5. I have other Apple equipment as well, (all dated 2012, I like the older equipment does great and all can be updated). This base Mac Pro, prior to the equipment upgrades, screams in Multi-core, bested all my other Macs including my iMac 27. I'll edit this comment once I finish my upgrades.
Bring back the cheese grater.
should be the cheese Greater, mind the pun.
@@HQA0 and they did
@@HQA0 The Cheese is Mightier!!! Great!
@@stu9000 - FINALLY after nearly 6+ years.
WTF, Apple!!!
Yes, Apple is and was, retarded.
Only slightly smarter than Microschaft.
The 280 and the 7950 and 7970 can be flashed in like 5 minutes and will have boot screen and you can take that gt120 out for good.
2019 is the year for these 2009 Mac pros so many people are buying them. I see 2012 modles maxed out go for $1200. I got a 8 core with 32 gigs of RAM for 500$ also bought a rx580 IDC about gaming I have a $2000 machine for that. It'll mainly be used for logic pro since my macbook air isn't the best for audio production.
I am running the RX560 as well, I had the same artifacts during gameplay, e.g. XCOM2, then I did enable v-sync in the game settings, and the issue was completely gone.
Create Success TV when mojave is released you’ll be prompted to update your firmware, this update to mojave should remove your screen artifacts
You're not getting full bandwith with your card in the upper slot, swap the GT 120 and the new card around so it can run at x16.
im getting so triggered because of this
aaaa
Gawd that made me feel so frustrated.....
Kyle's Tech Channel nah it doesnt make a difference, also, the rx560 only runs on 8x lane width and the bandwidth at 2.5gt/s is locked down by apple, recently they just remove that threshold and now we get 5gt/s which is all it needs
@@potatoricardo5901 0 gg Benjamin uh thy ghastly penis
8x Gen2 or 4x Gen3 PCIE bandwidth is enough, even for a GTX 1080. It's not an issue to run the card in the lower speed slot.
A couple things...
1.Switch out the gt120, as previously stated, your artifacts may be pcie bandwidth based, slot one and two (bottom to top numbering ) is 16x
Slot 3 and 4 (top two) is 4x only
The GT120 has to be removed in beta for the install to take, but you can add it back in after the install. (Who knows what the final release will require)
2. Mojave Beta installs 2 firmware patches, first is a patch for intel processor spectre and meltdown bug...(thank you Apple!)
Second patch upgrades bandwidths
2.5 GT/s link speed to 5.0 GT/s link speed... (kinda awesome as this is a 6-8 year old machine for cmp 5,1 and 9 year old machine for cmp 4,1)
3. Guys, remember It’s September when this was shot, and hot and muggy out... not much static electricity in the air... I wouldn’t freak out about the carpet... if you don’t zap the cat when petting, (OP has a cat, see prior videos 🐈) I’m not worried about the static.... January with the heat going and RH at 15%... watch out!
4. Love the videos! You inspired me to upgrade a cmp 5,1 vs new awhile back... thank you!
Hey, Luke. To get a boot screen you just need to flash a Mac bios in your card. Just plug it in a PC and flash the BIOS. Not necessary, though, it's just to get the boot screen. But can be very useful to debug things with verbose mode (cmd+v).
Thank you for sharing this with us fellow computer fans!
I really enjoyed this clip (the boom bap music in the background helped... it's dope). Not going to lie, the "talking head" nature of some of your past clips made me focus more on you and less on the subject matter. These 1st-person POV clips are great.
Can you give us the specs for the new card so we can buy one on Ebay for OUR potential upgrades ? The card is called an RS 560 in some listings and a Red Dragon in others. Verry confusing.
so you say it's super easy to do this , but it took you 2 video cards to get it working and even then you often get video problems that require a reboot , or booting with the stock video card then switching to the newer card .
i'm really glad for your sake that your hobby isn't modding cars .
Wow those machines are beautiful.
Apple should still make those Mac Pros. Same look but updated internals, bring that upgradibility back
that means losing money and knowing how money hungry that they are, it won't ever happen unless we boycott them lol.
@@nixonvonnixon That won't help
A lot of people have pointed out that you should swap your GPU’s. I think you should remove the GT120 altogether as I think it causes all sorts of hiccups.
Hey Luke! Loved this video and love how you applied the behind the scenes principle I suggested. Keep up the good work!
I bought OWC PCIe SSD card and Kingston SSD 1 TB. I also bought from eBay I bought a flashed XFX 7970 Graphics card. I have 2X 2.93 Mac Pro with 32 GB of RAM. I might upgrade the RAM, but overall this machine is still kicking butt. I got my Mac Pro from eBay for 470 dollars, graphics card for 200 and another 200 for SSD upgrade.
My heart started racing when you put the graphics cards on the carpet. I was worried the static would affect it!
t suar Yeah I cringed a bit too..
Maybe that’s what’s causing his issues.
It has a backplate, omg
Bro you should do a Xserve review in 2018. I’ve been looking for those types and can’t find one. Plz do one, one of Apples less known Macs
I've been looking into that for a while, definitely in my plans
Luke Miani there are really good deals on eBay, I found one for $19 with $38 shipping. Really good deal, everything there the hard drives, a 8-core Xeon 2.66 gHz, and a 32 GB of FB-ECC RAM. Only downside is there is no OS, but Apple still sells MacOS X 10.6 server on the phone for I believe $20-$30.
Thanks for this vid! I am in the process of building a 5,1 as a workstation and jamming it up with the 96GB of Ram, 1080Ti card, etc.
I have those same speakers on my main system. Regarding the video card installation, I noticed that you did not put the card into the bottom PCIe slot. I am pretty sure you are gimping your graphics that way, as I'm pretty sure only that bottom slot is an x16. Who knows? Maybe those glitches you were having in Counter Strike were related to that as well. Otherwise, I suppose it may just be an issue with the drivers and might be helped by your Mojave upgrade!
You need to install a blower style card. Because if you use a standard cooler type GPU there is nothing exhausting hot air. A blower-style GPU exhaust all the hot air, and cools itself
I remember when apple used to release "offical" apple graphics cards you could put in the mac pros which had mac os firmware on it.
Put your primary card in the bottom slot and take out you old GT120 which is slowing down the pci speed, btw the Mojave firmware update will unlock the pci 3 doubled transfer speed of your Radeon 😉
I run a GTX 285 on one of my machines and a GTX 590 on another both with flawless results. I think if your going for a non OEM card and you can take advantage of it (Premier) the Cuda on a modern Nvidia card would be a better option. As far as Mojave and Metal support, maybe that's another story.
try another (type of) signal cable to get rid of flickering.
Aren't these cards PCIe 3 ? And the slots we have on the 5,1 are PCIe 2. So how is this working guys, help me out here, what am I missing?
I'm on this exact same computer, with the exact same card, and will updating to Mojave get rid of the artifacts? They're really annoying
You sir are a god
how does changing a graphics card make him a god?
@@juancarlospalomino8939 sarcasm
What phone did you film with? Looks pretty good? Awesome video
Hey Luke great video! , have you ever solved the artefact problem in the log screen, I made an ubgrafr of my 5.1 and I always get graphics artefacts, I have no idea what to do!
Have Mojave running on my Mac Pro 3,1 with 24GB of RAM. Runs like a dream! Can't wait till the official Nvidia Web Drivers drop so I can use my GTX 760 with Mojave.
Did you checked connections between graphic and monitor, seems like a wire issues, had similar issue with hdmi wire
The old Mac Pro was last Apple computer worth buying
The issue u dont have a Bootscreen and also those flickerings is caused by that the Normal GPUs u buy they dont have a EFI Firmware ROM like the Stock Apple GPUS have. There are certain GPUs where u can replace the PC standart Firmware with a EFI Firmware
Hey Luke. Great video. Can you tell me the exact make and model of the graphics card you install? I’m sorry for the stupid question but I have just got a Mac Pro 5.1 and want to the the upgrade to Mojave but I don’t want to get the wrong card.
the beauty of upgrading
Good and simple video Luke. Glad, it was easy for you. Have you done the jump to Mojave?
I actually noticed some graphic distortion in my 2017 MBP and its only in the login screen. The only thing that happens when I login is very occasionally Netflix on Safari flickers black. (that might be a different thing all together).
you should still take it to an mac store to check, i would expect my fairly new mbp to work how it should be, if you wait and it dies they will only say you did something to it and won't fix it so you buy a new one.
juan carlos Palomino yea, I’m just worried that I’ll have to send it off bc it’s my main device for school and it’ll be hard to not have
I have a 2017 mbp that’s doing the exact same thing, took it to the Apple store 3 times, first they replaced the display then they replaced the logic board twice and it is still having the same problem so I figure it’s probly a software issue
Jacob Davis well, maybe Mojave will fix these issues
I am running the beta right now and haven't had the issue since installing it so hopefully it stays that way
Great video, hurt me a little to see you put the graphics card down on a rug though
It's got a backplate its fine
If you have 32 bit apps you may want to make sure Mojave will run them. I haven't heard when Apple is cutting them off. Hey where is your anti static wrist strap?
Mojave still runs 32-bit apps. 10.15 may not though.
Well, on your remark "it's so easy" it only if you put the only card of the market that works on it that it is so easy, if you whant something different, like a powerfull Nvidia Quatro or Geforce, or even some multi screen matrox cards it is an all other stories.
At least there still a solution for the only Mac witch is really a clever design, of course it is from Steve .... Wozniac.
Hi Luke, great video! One question. I have also a MacPro 4.1 (bought new in 2009 :) 8 Core 2.66MHz) running the OS El Capitan in an M.2, with an ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB running my 30 Apple Cinema Display. Bunch of RAM and few TBs. It's my main working station (I make books and photos) still running good but I will like to make a new upgrade. I've thought about changing the processor but I never find the courage, I don’t want to risk a job in the process, although I have an iMac at home. Did you upgrade the processor? or just the firmware?
Dosdude1 has patches for older "unsupported" machines. just updated my 2009 MacBook Pro to Sierra, had High Sierra on here but was slow, will upgrade as soon as I my 8gbs of RAM is delivered!
Hey Luke I have thunderbolt 3 working in my mac pro
Love you videos .. can you help me here a bit picked up another Mac Pro 2009 updated to 5,1 .. found a xfx amd rx560 4gb metal based card .. however the Rx560 card being recommended is the msi rx560 4gb .. is there a difference between the msi and the xfx can I use the xfx amd raden Rx560 card
I OWN MAC PRO (MID 2010) MACHINE ACTUALLY PURCHASED IN MARCH 2012. TRIED TO INSTALL NEW MAC OS MOJAVE 10.14.1 & INFORMED 'REQUIRED METAL SUPPORT GRAPHICS CARDS'. PROVIDED A LIST OF COMPATIBLE GRAPHICS CARDS (WITH METAL SUPPORT)- BEFORE I PURCHASE NEW GRAPHICS CARD, NEED TO KNOW WHICH IS BETTER TO USE- SAPPHIRE RADEON PULSE RX580 (8GB) OR RX560 MSI GAMING RADEON (128 BIT, 4GB)? ANY KNOWLEDGE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS SUBJECT, NEVER OPENED A COMPUTER IN MY LIFE, BUT NOW SIMPLY TRYING TO SAVE THE COST OF NEW COMPUTER TO RUN THE LATEST UPGRADES.
Check out Mojave 10.14.1... allows NMVe m.2 system booting.
Why even keep the super slow and old GPU in the x16 slot????
Love your videos man!
I'm still on 10.12, runs great. (Mac Pro 2010 with a SAPPHIRE Tri-X Radeon R9 390X) You're just asking for trouble upgrading when you don't need too.
Deja vu... very hard to get the right combination with OS and driver and etc.
This is the very reason i love mac's. I switched in 2009 and i never looked back. Even though now, they really are behind. I mean, yeah, we have the iMac Pro but once you buy it you can't upgrade that thing (yourself), so i hope Apple will have this type of design with their new 2019 Mac Pro, (hey i'm trying to be hopeful here). I do think though, that it's sad to see a RADEON type of card in this type of Mac pro, where you can have NVidia GPU's. But i understand people want to have the latest OS sometimes for whatever reason, while i personally prefer to wait to update the os on my pro machine's.
Do you have a link to the wallpaper you’re using on your Mac? Cheers :)
That’s awful man that your R9 series card was doing that. I have a GTX 950 in my 1,1 and I would like to upgrade at some point in the future to a newer cheese grater, preferably a 4,1 or 5,1.
The Retro Review Get a 4,1. They're the same as the 5,1 you just need to update the firmware which takes minutes. 👌
I remember buying a 2009 Mac Pro 8 core back in 2009 costed me 8000 AUD which is about I think 6000 or 7000 Aud but i kept it till 2013 before I sold it and got the trashcan mac pro and got it in 2014 :)
I just did the small update to my Late 2011 17” MacBook Pro the other day and it fried my GPU Radeon graphics card as well. Now trying to find a fix for it as there is no new chips are after market logic boards available anywhere. Of course they are “Vintage” now so Apple won’t even touch it.
why did you have to replace the video card if it "just works" ??
Hi! I have a 2012 pro, looking to get mojave with a new card - what is the cheapest (used or new) card I can buy to get that working? Anything in the 50 - 75 range? I'm not a gamer. Maybe watch movies once a month on it... don't really stream tv.
I had that same graphic artifact problem in HS and the R9. I just went back to Mavericks, because it's not dodgy rubbish that Apple didn't bother to QC. 🤷🏼♀️
those older mac pros are really cool. Would be awesome if Apple just made an ITX version of that and ditched the trashcan Mac Pro.
Tonymacx86. Google it
That’s a cool desktop lamp. Where did you buy it?
Hey Luke, I really like your videos man.. I need help with upgrading my Mac Pro cheese grater 2012..
I have an iMac 2008 (don't judge) and I had login issues since updating to el capitan. If u hold shift when clicking enter at the password login, it cancels all login procedures such as booting safari/iTunes etc. It has sped up my Mac a load
I love that desktop background
The only thing original will be the case
HI, my name is Ivan. I have a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 with MacOS high Sierra and just made a bootable disk of mojave I created it with disk creator app. I tried booting with option key held down as I click on the power button but it doesn't go to the disk screen so I can choose the mojave installer. so I shut the computer back down and rebooted normal and when it booted up to my desktop. I opened system preferences and clicked on the start up disk tab and it only shows my Mac disk and not the installer disk. What can I do in this situation? and also could this be because Im running a newer graphics with metal support?
Download the Mojave public beta 7/dp8 and let it do the firmware update. Once complete you will be on firmware 138.0.0.0, This firmware allows all graphics cards to work at 5.0 GT/s and allows future firmware updates without an EFI screen. This is the most Apple has ever done for us.
forums.macrumors.com/threads/mp5-1-new-bootrom-138-0-0-0-0-on-mojave-dp7-pb6.2132317/
I also want to point out that you can have artifacts on your AMD card because you have the GT120 still installed and it loads the Nvidia kexts which can cause artifacts. It's on Macrumors somewhere don't have that link.
Hey Luke! Love your videos bro. I had a question for you or anyone that knows about hackintoshes. I have two Mac G5's that I got scammed for $100, since I thought they would be the Mac Pro that came before the compact one. I have an extra PC build in the making, and so I was thinking of using the hard drives from those computers for my PC build. I am thinking about turning it into a "Hackintosh". On the Mac G5, it was limited to macOS Leopard. Do you think it'd be possible to upgrade those hard drives on a PC with 2018 parts for Mojave? Thanks to anyone who replies :)
Nah :/ They're the Mac G5's from 2004 but I thought they were the ones from 2010
Thank you! So would that make it possible for my 2018 PC build (as in with 2nd Gen Ryzen build with compatible parts), and for those hard drives to be able to update to Mojave?
Enrique Labrada Ed doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Since they’re from the era of 10.4 that predates the App Store so they can’t be upgraded. Not to mention that if you stuck those drives in your build nothing would boot. The Powermac G5 runs on a PowerPC G5 Processor which is not like anything around today. I’d suggest looking for a more recent Hackintosh ISO and installing that way or just use a virtual machine bc MacOS tends not to like 3rd party hardware.
Dude, you should never put a GFX card or any component with exposed circuit board on a carpet. Static electricity. At least have it with the board side facing up and the fans touching the carpet.
the best graphics card for this machine is a Gigabyte AMD 7970, has Mac display plugs and is plug and play on the 4,1 5,1, the Bios can be flashed to have a Mac boot screen, never had any problems at all with this card, done it twice, apple just start making these computers again, put updated components in it
What about the 1080gtx, 1660rtx or 2080rtx..
hi luke, i have a 5.1 2 x 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 64 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 EVO 500gb mac pro. i recently bought a Radeon RX 580 8 GB video card. i use adobe after effects and i don't see much acceleration, is there any configuration i need to do?
I got a Mac Pro 5.1 and installed two MSI RX560. But I can't upgrade to Mojave. Tried press down power button till sound comes out, and let go the button. It just boot into High Sierra.
HI! is this the Gigabyte Radeon RX 560 Gaming OC 4G (Rev. 2.0) Radeon RX 560 4GB GDDR5? Thanks!!!
Hey Luke, do you recommend upgrading the iMac 2,1?
Omg crazy watching this now, Apple really gave you your wish with the new Mac Pro’s
macOS never worked with R9 380, or anything on GCN 1.2 really. You can run RX 580, or a GTX 1060 6GB on it.
Hi Luke I have 2009 MacPro it has stock Radeon HD 4870 but I can't install Mojave its says my graphics is not metal supported but when I check on Apple site it says it is supported. Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much.
Why didn’t you show us how you installed Mojave?
Don’t those Mac pro’s have like 950 watt power supply’s in them?
Have you done the power mod to provide enough power to the R9 380? Out of the box, I'd think it wouldn't have enough power to run it.
Doesn’t matter if you upgrade it it’s not gonna be able to support it
It just works, then shows a game running with graphical glitches
As I said those stop after a while or after a restart
The old GPU the gray one it was competing
Can u do a full tutorial when Mohave comes out.
Hi Luke I've got a question, How did you upgrade your firmware from 4,1 to 5,1? , Thanks
I think you are having HDD failure, not a GPU issue. Usually if a GPU is failing it will artifact and freeze but your mouse on the screen kept working.
Went from an R9 380 to an RX 560? Couldn't go for a 570? The 560 is a BIG downgrade in performance.
gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-R9-380-vs-AMD-RX-560/3482vs3926
About a 42% reduction in performance actually.
Mainly a cost factor, I only have about $300 in this machine and the CPU does most of the legwork in FCPX
Luke Miani ahh, makes sense.
Can you upload video of iMac( 8,1) (7,1) of upgrading to Mac is high sierra
Have you found any problems with SSD hard drives after the upgrades on your upgraded MacPro? Thanks
Hey Luke! Is it possible to help me out with upgrading my mid 2010 5,1 Mac Pro to high Sierra ? I’m having some trouble and it seems you know what you’re doing !
Are you Canadian or American ? Is it possible to IM on TH-cam ?
I installed a Sapphire RX 580 in my 5,1. It's unfortunate that it's so thick that it blocks PCIe slot 2, I really need an extra slot. Anyone know of a third party cooling solution that's lower profile?
