While my Titan X was fine in my factory 2010 5.1 2.66GHz 12-core running Octane Render 3, when I upgraded to 4 it would periodically shut the machine down, drawing too much power with the added AI lighting and AI noise reduction features turned on, further stressing the card. However, you might experience something like what I discovered. It still holds top OSX spot on Thea Render 1.5 CPU Benchmark (archiblender).Īlso, I noted the original GTX 780 you are running needs 250 W power, yet your 5.1 boots fine and stays on.

My fastest Mac Pro (a modded 2009 4.1 3.46GHz flashed to 5.1 w/ two de-lidded X5690 cpu) could not boot my Titan X no matter what I did, so I went with the GTX 1070, very nice. Apple MacBook Pro MJLT2LL/A 15in - Intel Core i7-4870HQ 2.5GHz, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, AMD Radeon R9 M370X Graphics, Retina Display, Mac OS X - Silver (Renewed) 4.1 out of 5 stars 10 672.33 672. Yes, true although I hope you liked the power cable tip I relayed, since the WX9100 is still over the 225w Mac Pro basic power spec. I'm very interested if AMD can bring back both value and performance to the classic Mac Pro platform best quality workstations ever made.

Macs are still limited to High Sierra with OSX using Nvidia for dual-boot, but I have moved on to Windows 10 for my dual-boot Macs, doing all heavy lifting in Windows now, and booting up High Sierra when I just want to be happy! It would be my first choice for recommendations. I need at least 4 monitor outputs OR MORE. I have a 2012 Mac Pro 5.1 that needs a faster, and better graphics card. The GTX 1070 uses only 150 Watts, is very quiet, and runs both TwinMotion and Octane Render very well. Mac Pro 2012 5.1 need video card upgrade. I have even heard of Mac Pro users getting away with an EFI flashed GTX 1080 ti cabled this way. Installing iStats can verify all of this for you.
This load balances the power inputs, which seems to work 100% of the time, and should help in any situation with any card.

Since the Titan uses more than the 225 Watts which the stock Mac is certified to supply, I modded it a little and plugged the two mini 6-pin cables into an 8-pin wye, then split it back out into the 6-pin plus an 8-pin for the Titan. I'm actually typing this on a GTX 580 3GB at 969MHz, and it still does everything at a functional level (even helping to finish small projects on a deadline), so I don't see any of these newer cards becoming obsolete anytime soon (although my RTX2060 Super 8GB is the super fast bargain of the decade, so far.). I even have an 8-core Mac with a $150 GTX 980 ti, and it keeps up with the Titan in TwinMotion on typical projects! All of these cards are nearly twice as fast as the GTX 780 6GB, which was very good for its day. I use a GTX Titan X Maxwell 12GB in my 2.66GHz 12-core, and a GTX 1070 8GB in my 3.46GHz 12-core, both EFI flashed by MacVidCards for dual-boot, and both fly with TwinMotion. Apple on Monday updated a pair of support documents relating to the release of macOS Mojave, outlining legacy Mac Pro compatibility via graphics card upgrades and support for Boot Camp on certain. Nice to see another LGA 1366 user the Mac Pro will do fine in TwinMotion with a beefier card.
