Can upgrade my Mac Pro 2.1?

• Vs CPU Ram graphic card upgrade for Mac pro performance?

  Just after the crossroads to aboard the cloud to Adobe and seeks help on CPU Ram vs graphics card GPU.

  Material:

  • MAC Pro (early 2009) 4.1 2.26 Ghzdual core 8, 23 grams (5 x 4 g sticks and sticks of 3 x 1 G), 4 x 1 TB 7200 RPM int. HD (1 scratch drive), (no windows don't things here)
  • Graphics card Ge Force GT120 Machine has 64-bit capability, but normally starts in 32- bit due to old still used 32-bit apps.
  • Watch CS6 AE activity monitor uses all 16 son, works in 64 bitsand seizes about 10 Gig of ram to operate in.

  Software:

  • Running OS x 10.6.8. (Snow leopard) with all updates.
  • All major video applications: creative cloud (also have studio FCP 3 installed but just move to Adobe now on video works)

  I really like this AE & body use all threads, made in the background (which results in NO crashes (so far)) because my old 120 GT video card apparently is more stifling that it worked in FX in FCP 7 & 4 Motion.

  1. Q - can someone point me in the direction of how Adobe got the device to use all the cores and threads and run it in 64-bit, but starts in 32 bit?

  In terms of performance, (rendered in particular) I know I should go to the Apple/ATI 5870 graphics card, but as a veterinarian of fixed-income securities disabled, $450 is hard to find. I evaluated cards flashes, including those of macvidcards on ebay, but for used cards which are flashed, it gives me pause, especially when they are about the same price as the new price of 5870.

  So I am struggling with trying to figure out that the best shot for the less $$$, where the issue of the title.

  1. Is it more effective for video FX works to add CPU ram or (gulp) to upgrade the video card to 5870 card?

  Example: I can add sticks of 3 x 4 G in place and place existing 3 x 1 G sticks of ram for less than $200 CPU. A new 5870 card is $ 450 Apple. Approach that annoys me that most make speed plant put VFX work in AE CS6 or P Pro CS6?

  Sorry, I'm more than a little fuzzy on this, but hoping a kind soul will lead the way.

  For After Effects, more RAM is better. For Premiere Pro, an improved GPU is more important. In addition, you might consider spending money even on an SSD, which is beneficial for both (for caches).

• the amount of memory can increase book mac pro mid 2012

  Hello Sir,

  I want to thank the size of the RAM of my book of mac pro mid 2012. May I know what is the maximum RAM, it supports?

  Thank you.

  It may depend on whether it is the version of the retina.   As there are several options in terms of opinion, you may want to type "what is the maximum RAM for a Macbook Pro mid 2012' and read."    Officially, it seems that Apple says that 8 GB.

  You can also go to OWC (Macsales) which are recommended in these columns and discuss your question one by one.

• How can I connect mac pro to a projector VGA port

  How can I connect my mac pro book to a projector with a VGA port

  should be pretty simple.  Acorrding to Apple, you have a Thunderbolt port video that supports MiniDisplayPort, so you would need a MiniDP to VGA, then a VGA cable, and then turn on the mirror in the display preferences, under the Big Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then go to System Preferences and there you go.

• Ho can I boot Mac Pro in 64-bit?

  Hello

  I have a Mac Pro 3.1 El Capitan 2008 running.

  How can I start up to 64-bit?

  thsnks,

  z

  The 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 model only works in 64-bit on OS X, it is impossible to boot OS X on the Mac in 32-bit mode so that this question is meaningless.

  Although not part of your original question, it runs Windows XP SP2, 32-bit mode and Windows 7 32-bit mode but can also run in 64-bit mode. It depends on what flavor of Windows Installer. Windows unlike OS X must be specifically installed as 32-bit or 64-bit and cannot switch between the two afterwards.

• I need good reasons to upgrade my Mac Pro 2009.

  Hello

  I am a new employee in a company that makes me work on a Mac Pro 2009 for heavy After Effects and first projects.  I propose a new Mac Pro, but company's technical team is PC based, does not understand the world of video production and they don't understand why I can't continue to use what I have.

  Here are the specs of my current Mac Pro:

  Mac Pro early 2009

  2x2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

  16 GB OF RAM

  NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB

  2 internal 1 TB HDs

  10.9.3 OSX

  Adobe CS5 Production Premium is installed.

  I offer this configuration:

  • Processor: 2.7 GHz 12 - core Intel Xeon E5 processors

  with 30 MB of memory cache L3

  • Memory: 64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC (4x16GB)

  • Graphics: Dual AMD over-pants D700 GPU

  with 6 GB of GDDR5 VRAM

  • Hard drive inside (OS and Application reader): storage 1 TB PCIe flash

  • External hard drive (disk work): PROMISE Pegasus2 12 to R6 (6 per 2 TB)

  Thunderbolt RAID System 2

  • Disk drive: drive Blu-ray/DVD/CD external (with Media & Toast 11 HD)

  (Available at OtherWorldComputing.com hard drive)

  • Adobe CC 2014

  • First CC

  • After Effects CC

  • Media encode CC

  • SpeedGrade CC

  • Illustrator CC

  • Photoshop CC

  (other info: I shoot and edit images from the Canon C100 and 5 d Mark III)

  So, I come from a company that wanted to have a quick configuration to keep the animation and the process of change moving as quickly as possible.  The recommended configuration, I have above is the configuration that I used before.

  The problem is that when the Ministry of technology (I.S.) for my new job sees the minimum requirements posted by Adobe for EFA and AP, they think that I agree with what I have (side maybe form a updated video card).  I need hard stats and figures that will convince my company to buy a faster Mac Pro.

  Can someone share some information that I can use to support my arguments?

  Here's the e-mail I have built so far:

  Adobe After Effects and first are powerful animation and editing programs if they are given a lot of RAM, card graph multiple GPU and VRAM.  Working in the minimum requirements will get me by, but at a cost VERY slow processing and rendering times.

  Note that the speed test of 37seconds for model reference below what we advocate.  As they have not yet test the fastest computer of 12 base.

  Premiere Pro system requirements:

  Although it is optional, the video card should be at least 1 GB of VRAM.  It is a bare minimum of non-professionals.

  These resources can build a strong case for processors more and more fast and more than RAM, not to mention a GPU that Premiere Pro can be used for acceleration.

• How to upgrade the graphics card (gtx 770 or 980) on Mac Pro 3.1 (2008)?

  Hey,.

  I am looking to update my graphics card on my Mac Pro 3.1 - I currently have a GTX 660ti but I was looking to upgrade to a GTX 770 or, if possible GTX980.

  I have a few questions (GTX 770):

  • Power required: I found a tutorial , but I'm still not sure if the GTX 770 will draw too much power from the PSU?  The TDU is 230w and there are a lot of online chat on do not go above 225w.  I also noticed that my mac pro 3.1 is about 980w - so I'm confused as to why the limit of 225w has been mentioned (something to do with the power being driven by pci slots?)
  • Wiring: The gtx 770 has 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 8-pin connectors.  What/how should I connect to these terminals?  The tutorial mentions buying a Y 2 x 6-pin connector.  Is anyone able to confirm this?
  • Experience: Are confirmed cases of the GTX 770 works on a mac pro 3.1?

  Finally - I wonder about a 770GTX since I.  What is the best card (for games) that confirmed cases of work with the 2008 3.1 mac pro?

  Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

  The location PCle supplies 75 watts max. Each of the two connectors on the system board each supply 75 watts max.

  So, you can get 225 watts which for me is pretty close to 230 watts.

  Others have successfully used the 770

• Upgrade Mac Pro 3.1 2016

  Hello

  y at - it a favorable upgrade I can give my Mac Pro 3.1?

  so far I've always been running OS X 10.5.8

  I had to install 10.7 on a pny cs1111 ssd that I need to fix my old system, which worked.

  I had problems with upgrade of equipment due to software that I wasn't ready to upgrade, because it worked very well (which was not supposed to change).

  I read through many threads, but could not yet conclude what options to take advantage of, for the upgrade of my Mac Pro.

  SSD are safe to use now? Fact sorting am function work.

  Another question, I upgrade, I use a yamaha 01 x, which seems to run 32-bit. Found the button hold 3 and 2 the solutions for this, which is very good for me, rather than invest in getting even an equivalent sound device.

  Logic Pro seems to be evolving all the way, I'm still working on OS X 10.7, which I am trying to use because of the TRIM function I need to run the DSS, as far as I figured out.

  I read also on the most recent raid card technology that might just make my i / o really fast, but then again I live in Germany and I can't seem to find the mini das extension cable here in stores, to actually connect it right.

  I read most of the threads upgrade, do not give conclusion, if the upgrade actually working stable for more long, which is my goal.

  I want my Mac to become more course (trying to find the best bad solution too) and more fast.

  BTW. I have especially aktually work with Adobe cs products and Logic Pro.

  I hope that it is still logical. And I'll answer any question that might help my quest, in case I forgot to mention the necessary details.

  Maybe there are threads, I missed, so please post a link if you know. Most of them were who says now. I would get a solution from 2016, if the whole thing is.

• Problems after installing Photoshop CS5 Extended upgrade on my Mac Pro

  Hi all, I hope you can advise me.  I received my order for CS5 Extended Adobe UK Upgrade this morning and quickly began to install on my Mac Pro (I have a full version of CS3 on my Mac with a CS4 update give me through my Ati Radeon HD4870 graphics card Open GL features).  Installation seems fine and at the end I click done and opened the CS5 to set preferences. That's where I found things were not as they seem.  The first thing that I became aware of was that my graphics card was not recognized and open GL and advanced settings are grayed out. Then, I tried to RAM the most recommended by CS5 to see when I clicked on OK and closes unexpectedly CS5 a dialog box appears saying that the program has been locked or I had not gotten access privileges to change the preferences. I checked the "Get Info" box and found the program was not locked and the permissions are set to read and write to the system and administrator and read-only for everyone. Sharing & permissions were greyed out both as it was in locked, so even if I wanted to I could not change these settings.

  The next thing I found was that I couldn't change the workspace it is default "Essentials" and to top it off several times while trying these changes and access different parts of CS5 leaves unexpectedly ask me first send a report to Apple and Adobe tax then.  I tried to get help from the media, but it was 5 hours ago and they always called back as the automated message said they would be.  Sorry this is so long, but I think you need to know all this to help you if you can. My Mac Pro is Version 1-1 and I have 10 GB of RAM and loads of room om my hard drives.  Please tell us if you can

  Best regards Denisimo

• Get 6G SATA in the platters of drive Mac Pro 2010

  After some research, it seems that the procedure to attach a map of mini SAS PCIe to readers in the disc trays Mac Pro internal is simple enough for the Pros of the Mac 2006-8, but not so much for 2009-2012.

  With regard to the very simple procedure for the 2006-8 Mac Pros:

  http://blog.MacSales.com/12247-upgrade-your-06-08-Mac-Pros-internal-bays-to-SATA-3-0

  AFA I can tell, the Mac Pro 2009-12 is not a SATA port transfer to connector mniSAS on the motherboard as the 2006-8, but requires some antics more. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  I found this kit, which is expensive, but it looks like it will do the job

  https://www.maxupgrades.com/iStore/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display & Product _ ID = 189 & ParentCat = 351

  Ideas on this or alternatives?

  Material:

  3 x Samsung EVO 850 1 TB 2.5 "drives

  1 x HGST Ultrastar 3 TB 3.5 "disk

  Areca ARC-1882-ix-24

  Thanks for reading this.

  Why not just buy a special tray in which you mount the SSD and it connects to your SATA bus using one of the four internal trays. However, this bus doesn't support 3G in this model, a 6G SSD will work, but not as fast.

• Mac Pro 5 1-PCIe Configuration

  Hello

  I have upgraded my Mac Pro 5, 1 (model mid-2010) with a few changes/additions PCIe and need some advice. Frankly, I was surprised by the fact that the Expansion Slot utility was not usable here and the old interface to help me refine the best configuration. Reading about the possible configuration options started his contradictory between reseources. Anyway, this is what I have:

  Slot 1 (x 16) - ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card

  Slot 2 (x 16) - ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card

  Location 3 (4 x) - empty (no physical space due to above)

  Unit 4 (x 4) - card Sonnet PCI Tempo SSD Pro Plus

  So, is this look of effective configuration for the priority of the data read/write verses performance graphics performance?

  Peace,

  Dr. Z.

  The utility of PCI slot is not usable on the 2009 to 2012 Mac pro.

  The allocation of housing-gears the 2009 Mac Pro 2012 is fixed, not configurable and is exactly as you say: the two 16 x slots, the two upper slots lower slots are 4 x speed, but of "provide support for up to 16 x cards" (in other words, they use the biggest connectors, but everything beyond 4 x is not connected).

  Your installation seems fine. Some users prefer to leave the top slot open for a better circulation of air above all the cards. But as you say, you do not have this option.

  4 x is fast enough for this SSD card. Which is about as fast they do these cards so far. Extra speed as a 16 slot x could not possibly serve in the drafting of this article.
