    Love this video! Wish me luck, I’m off to edit 4K video on my 6,1 running Sequoia thanks to OCLP and you, Sir!
    I bought a CalDigit TS3+ dock and have been seriously thinking about adding a dedicated Windows external SSD for the Windows stuff.
    There is supposed to be a windows driver that will take advantage of the dual D500’s. My son likes to play Valorant and some other games like that and I’d like to be able to join him on my desktop.
    Thanks again!

    Developers better not weaken graphics details on the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 running natively on the Mac later this year. This is going to be one hella of game. I can’t wait. I heard the graphics quality on the Windows side is outstanding.

      @@MalcolmREBORN they most likely will have to, it runs great on my Mac Pro at 4K, but the game really pushes the graphics especially with Ray tracing enabled the fps tank, there’s no way Apple computers can compete with PCs when it comes to Ray tracing especially when running a rtx4090 with a AMD CPU.

    That was so good I had to subscribe. I've got the base M4 mini and it has everything going for it except gaming. I have a modest gaming PC running Windows so that I can take advantage of my Steam game collection, I'm just not ready to give those up.

    I recently replaced my Mac 5,1 cheese grater (updated in almost every way possible), with a used 10 core M2 pro mini with 32Gb of ram instead and I’m loving it.
    I’ve also used the M2 pro to spend too much time in Resident Evil 4 over the Xmas period… (don’t tell my partner lol), wow what a great game!
    I’ll try the hud option to see if I can optimize the graphics settings 👍🏼
    Thank you.

    I will NEVER get the picture of the Mac Mini talkin' smack to a Mac Pro outta my head! 😆🤣 As soon as Asahi Linux gets a version for M4 processors, I'll get one of these little M4 beauties. My gaming needs are met with old Atari Flashback and C64 emulators, so no sweat on gaming for the Macs.

    Hi, thinking about buying a Mac Pro 7,1 and wanted to know if you can install windows 10 or 11 on an NVMe (using a sonnet macfiver) and also windows 8 on a ssd (using the sonnet fusion flex drive bay.) While keeping macOS on the original internal ssd. If that is possible I also wanted to know in windows 10 or 11 if I installed a 4090 would windows automatically detect it or do you need software to be able to run it. I would still keep the mpx gpu for macOS installed at all times. Thanks

      @nBxbby I have not installed windows on my McFiver but I know people have done it. I currently have windows 11 in a SATA bay on a SATA SSD my McFiver is currently in a raid With two Samsung Evo pros getting around 6000 MB per second. I also know someone who installed an RTX 4090 and it ran great in windows. You just have to install windows and the drivers. I think he only had an RX 69 XT non-MPX module also running but you should be able to have the MPX and the 4090. As far as windows 8 goes, I have no idea.

    I've had the 7,1 for a month and a half now, with the 6800 xt and yeah, it games like crazy. On my 49inch ultrawide I'm getting 60fps on cyberpunk with ray tracing off and everything else on max. With the 16 core I rarely see CPU usage go over 12 percent, I think this computer would very much do a 4090 justice. That said the mac studio for day to day usage is still better and remains my daily driver.
    Question, with your 7,1 when the GPU gets to 70c+ how loud does your computer get? I can't remember if you're running an MPX module or an aftermarket card. On my after market 6800 xt the case fans really spin up and it gets pretty loud. Other than that I have no regrets, at the $1350 I spent on the computer and $375 on the GPU.

      I just got a 2019 for exactly that… professional music production and I was blown away how good it is! I tried to overpower it with loading 50+ Zebra and Omnisphere and play them together at 128 Buffer size… no problem at all!
      Also on big orchestral stuff using VE Pro you can lower the buffer size even to 32!… this is insane. I switched from an M3 Max MacBook Pro, I know ram is mostly everything and it was limited with 36GB, now having 256 AND the option to even up it to 768… insane! And very smooth at all!
      The 2019 machen pro is a great computer and ideal for heavy load music production.
