    I'm a big PC enthusiast, but I wanted to try out the 2019 Mac Pro - as I've always liked the more enthusiast (if you can call it that) machines from Apple. Let's discuss!

    00:37 Is the 2019 Apple Mac Pro really a waste of money? Not always
    01:00 the Mac Pro is surprisingly upgradable with “real” parts, GPUs, etc
    02:15 Definitely geared for pro res movie studios more than the enthusiasts for the most part
    02:44 I found a open box for around $4000, not bad compared to the msrp, which is very overpriced at $6k
    03:45 Very impressive build quality, motherboard, MPX GPU Modules, etc
    04:00 If you upgrade yourself, you can save loads of money and get some good performance
    04:30 ram upgrade is cheap and easy
    05:30 You can also easily upgrade the base SSD drive
    07:00 You can now get RDNA 2 like 6800xt on the beta Big Sur, or a W5700X is the best value right now
    08:00 CPU upgrade was easy; W3265M 24 core xeon for under $1600 OEM used, much cheaper than Apple’s price
    10:47 How does it compare to a 24 core thread ripper and 3090s? Uh oh!

    Hey, at least the GPUs for the Mac Pro are in stock and MSRP, lol?

    It’s 2024 Just got a brand new 16 core, 96gigs ram, w5500X which I will be adding my rx6800xt. 2G on eBay, prices are dropping hard. I like to tinker as well.

    • @sircurt4490
      @sircurt4490 Місяць тому

      Maybe the price is dropping because the M3 is coming out soon

    For the MPX things, GPU can build a card with dual PCIE slot in use, so, motherboard can provide 275w+275w power. Almost MPX level.

    I was curious when you upgraded your Apple SSD if you had 2nd screw in the other slot since usually you had just the one apple ssd, I just purchased one of these and wanted to upgrade ssd and just was curious if I needed to get a screw beforehand or it was somewhere on the case. Great video!

    Hi!
    Im considering to upgrade my MacPro from 16 cores to the 24 or the 28 cores, you can get those processors around 1000$ these days.
    What would you say?
    Im working mainly on after effects.
    The other option is to get an M1 Ultra but that's 4x the price of the upgrade...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Where’d you buy this one for $4k? I’d love to find one for that price

  • @TonyLasagna
    @TonyLasagna 7 місяців тому

    Really the only way to do it. I got the 16 core and took care of everything else from there. When I bought mine, the W5700 was just coming out, so I ran the Radeon VII for a while.
    Nice video, well done.
    I’m about to virtualize Diablo IV. Wish me luck 😂

    Gotta say, I'm damn impressed by the price you got. You don't to boot of the Apple SSD if you don't care about the T2, I certainly don't ;) Other than, this vid should have more views.

    What 24 core CPU do you recommend?
    I am running Mac Pro 2019 8 core now and OS Big Sur. I need to upgrade my cpu. 😍😎
    Also have 96gb Ram and 2x w5700x 16gb gpu

    • @ClassicalTechnology
      @ClassicalTechnology  3 роки тому

      W3265M Xeon, works great and is what apple uses as well

    • @DenhefDigital
      @DenhefDigital 3 роки тому

      Ok. Buy when I search on eBay there is a lot of different versions and prices. QS, OEM etc . can you link in the description exactly the one you have so we have a safe choice 👍

    • @ClassicalTechnology
      @ClassicalTechnology  3 роки тому +2

      It is tricky- I would avoid the QS or engineering sample, try to get an original retail one or oem tray- they cost a bit more but are possibly better

    Obviously this market has become a situation geared towards the "money is not an object" mentality. Value is out the door and "get it now" is basically gonna get you to overspend. Who wins? Not me!

    • @ClassicalTechnology
      @ClassicalTechnology  3 роки тому +2

      That’s very true, I bet many people will jump on gpu in stock opportunities if they’re near msrp just because they can get it

    • @1965kings
      @1965kings 3 роки тому +2

      @@ClassicalTechnology in my opinion the market on GPU's went ballistic in favor of miners. Speculation is high and it seems like no end in sight. I would of course, if possible pick up a GPU at MSRP and pass on the middle man. It goes to show that a consumer will go the extra mile if an item is inaccessible just like the vendor will go the extra mile to sell it to you for up to 3x the MSRP.
