- The first upgrade for my Mac Pro 5,1 Project!
I picked the RX580 up locally for £100, which I thought quite reasonable.
In this video I install the card and do a quick benchmark...
There are more upgrades to come, so please like and subscribe to see more!
Thanks for watching :-) - Наука та технологія
nice video. I would keep the old card you never know when you are going to need it for the boot screen.
Thank you : And....You make a very good point there Matt!
Very nice. I was on the fence about this card for my Mac.
"My barstard cat" = Subscribed! :D I have two of the little things. Love em. Cracking video, I just picked up a MacPro so enjoying the learning curve. Thank you!
Nice helpful video, I just did the same exact upgrade. It took a while for the computer to boot up for the first time with the new card, but suddenly boom there it was. I like the music you choose as well. I'll watch your other videos. All good.
Hi @moci42 can you guide me in upgrading my mac pro. I'm a total beginner😭
Thanks for this video. I have a 2012 Mac Pro that I need to upgrade with a Metal-compatible graphics card soon since I can't upgrade the OS otherwise, which is making it ripe for confiscation by our IT folks. I'm considering the Radeon RX580 as well. It looks pretty straightforward to do.
Hello there, I need to ask you something, did you buy the graffic card flashed or just a normal one, cause there are some cards for MAC pro 5.1 flashed, and it makes me wonder if the card needs to be flashed or not, hope you can help me, Thank you
No need to unscrew the fan on a macpro5,1. The little white circle on the right side of it - if you press that, the fan slides to the left, moving that steel vertical bar and unlocking/releasing the GPU from it's holding.
Will this card run windows with boot camp?
I'd really like to upgrade my old workhorse or at least have a backup card.
What cable did you use? I’ve so far bought the wrong ones twice!
Hello good sir, has your card been flashed or is it stock?
"I have the same cmptr & video card w/dual xeon x5690 processors (oc Monterey).
My question: is there a way overclock cpu
to their maximum turbo-speed of 3.733ghz?"
Did you have to install any drivers for the gpu to work
Did you have to flash the graphics card?
Is it possible to get in touch with you? I’m having some problems with my RX 580 and 2010 Mac Pro
work in mojave and only install plug and play?
Hello, I have some issues with the same graphic card on Monterey (OpenCore Legacy Patcher Install). Can you please tell me if you used any specific Kext or file to make it work properly? Many thanks
I had issues with a metal supported GPU on OpenCore with Monterey, too.The solution I found was to use the original non-metal supported GPU to boot up the computer, then in OpenCore I clicked 'Revert Root Patches'. Then instead of restarting, I shut down. Then I connected the new GPU and booted (without boot screen). Once up and running, in OpenCore I clicked 'Start Root Patching' and then restarted. Worked for me.
no driver install needed ???
Rx. 580 try the the rx 6800xt from Mac vid cards Europe.
Is this new GPU you installed metal compatible? I need a metal compatible card just so that i can see the playhead within Logic X
It is metal compatible
The reason you cant see the boot screen is that this video card is made for Windows. And for this reason it does not support UEFI.
You need a PC to flash the GPU card.
I also have a question. What happened to the older Cinema Display at the end of the video? Why dont you use that with the Mac Pro?
Do you have a link to the guide for DIY. Thanks in advance.
can you link the power cable you purchased?
Please?
I’m also interested in what specific cable that is. It would be great if you could post a link to it. Thanks!
