• 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).

  Thank you very much

  Yes it will work in a 3.1 based on:

  You must 10.10.5 or later version.

  You don't need additional power but yoo must Nvidia drivers

  If you do not have a card that has the firmware flashed for a Mac you will not see a splash screen, you can't use special startups like recovery, startup key Option since nothing appears on the display

  You need to install the disks required before exchanging cards. If the existing card does not require the use of one of the connectors on the logic voard yo can likl; EU uhave two installed maps

• NVIDIA card for Mac Pro 2009?

  I think I have a NVIDIA card for my older Mac Pro (early 2009, 2.93 Ghz Quad-Core) in order to be able to use the Mercury playback engine first Pro.

  Can someone suggest a card appropriate for this?

  Thank you!

  [Note: this should probably be punted the Hardware section]

  You have several choices, depending on things like budget, and if you need/expect commercial support for the card.  The least expensive and most effective option would be to go get MacVidCards on EBay.  Just look for this exact word on EBay and hunt around for its EBay page.  Dave takes on PC nVidia cards and makes them compatible with Mac Pro EFI, so that they can start successfully, view the grey Apple screen and run at full speed.  nVidia will not support that, nor will Apple and retailer of the card or the will.  But, you will have access to cards that have historically been PC only.

  On the other end of the spectrum of: grand prize and less performance, you have nVidia Mac-specific maps.  Some of them are listed here.  I would not recommend any of them, but you will get the support of the end user of any manufacturer buy you from.

• For Mac Pro graphics cards

  Hello

  I am looking to buy a used Mac Pro 5.1. I'm not clued up on graphics cards and there seems to be a range of cards that they come with, mainly these cards:

  ATI RADEON 5770 1 GB

  ATI RADEON 5870 1 GB

  ATI Radeon HD4870 512 MB

  GeForce GTX 680 2 GB MAC edition

  GeForce GT 120 512 MB

  Can anyone recommend one of these? Should I avoid an any of them?

  Thank you

  Dave

  If you're a hardcore gamer, I recommend Geforce GTX680, although if you're not the case, I recommend ATI RADEON 5770 or 5870.

• Unable to connect more then 2 monitors for Mac Pro end of 2013

  I was wondering if anyone had this problem and found a solution.

  The Mac pro (end 2013) model that I have would not work with 3 or more screens, little matter what I do. Even if him are all connected to separate buses. Only 2 would work at any given time. When I cut the work one, one nonfunctional lights.

  They are related:

  Computer-> Thunderbolt to HDMI-> monitor

  Computer-> Thunderbolt to HDMI-> monitor

  Computer-> monitor-> HDMI/DVI

  Setting up and connecting cable is not a problem here, because I tried a lot of different ways to connect with different types of monitors.

  Just replaced a new video card and the problem still there.

  am I missing, or hurt?

  any idea is aprisiated!

  Thank you!

  Mac is unable to produce interfaces to more than two screens "legacy" levels of tension necessary to keep them from dropping out. You need an ACTIVE adapter for some of these screen to run more than two (including the interface HDMI built-in, that counts as if connect you something). poster "legacy" is other than DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort

  Adapters ASSETS have re-drivers of signal in them, that's why they are more expensive. As long as you stay under 1920 wide, you don't ask the very expensive adapter Apple DVI Dual-Link, $ 100.

• Commitment to Apple for Mac Pro line?

  I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), which gave me eight years of service. Good enough. I hope that press another year out of it, put my money and then upgrade to a new Mac. My (non-Apple) local service guy tried to talk to me in an iMac and pointed out that the current Mac Pro 1) is probably overkill for 99% of what I do (photography) and 2) do has not been updated by Apple since 2013. It is #2 that concerns me the most. What is the general consensus on the commitment Appleʻs to line up of range Mac Pro?

  A top of the line iMac is a very powerful computer.

  4 GHz quad core i7, 32 GB RAM, 4 GB graphics, SSD 1 TB or 3 TB Fusion by car, 5K display, a 5K or two external displays 4K, 2 ports Thunderbolt.

  The only benefits of the Mac Pro are:

  Multiple cores CPU (low speed) and a second graphics card, which will be useful if you do a lot of video rendering.

  The Thunderbolt ports more, displays more (low resolution) and a lot of simultaneous disk transfers.

  I agree that the Mac Pro is excessive.  Regarding Mac Pro upgrades, until Intel releases significantly better class server CPU and 3 stroke, it is not much Mac Pro, upgrade for Apple to do.  They do not sell enough to make small annual updates is worth.

• ASUS USB 3.1 PCI card in the Mac Pro 4.1/5.1

  Hello

  As the proud owner of a Mac ro 4.1 (updated to 5.1 and 2 X of Hexa-Core Xeon X 5670 CPU) I "suffer" a restriction.

  And it is now old and really slow USB 2.0.

  I would like to add a PCI USB 3.1 and I spotted the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI card.

  Of course, this card is given only as compatible with Windows...

  But I've seen a few reports of people claiming to have inserted this card in their Mac and have used successfully with several devices.

  It seems that these reports are under "Yosemite".

  I was wondering if they are always good with El Capitan...

  I put the card in the Mac.

  It seems to be recognized by the Mac Pro.

  In fact looking at the system information, under "PCI" give "Expansion USB card".

  BUT:

  -No USB key I have insert mounts;

  -No USB stick plug mounts;

  -my mouse lights

  -the keyboard does not work...

  So I'm wondering if:

  -El Capitan has got rid of the first USB support 3.1 to Yosemite?

  - Or if my card can be default somehow?

  -If this behavior can be caused by updates, I made (Mac 4.1-5.1 online) + 8-Core CPU-online 12 Core CPU?

  If anyone would be able to help me, I would be eternally grateful :-)

  If so, the card can be sent to the seller...

  Kind regards.

  FRED

  Hello there Penguiner.

  Looks like you bought the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI card and questions about its compatibility with your Mac Pro. The following Knowledge Base article speaks to the maps provided by Apple which have been tested and work with the Mac Pro:

  On the compatibility between Mac Pro-carte models graphics

  Since the ASUS card is not listed, the reference of the article could be a good recommendation to follow:

  This article applies only to video cards that originally shipped with a specified Mac Pro or upgrade kit have been offered by Apple. Similar maps that are not provided by Apple may have compatibility issues and you have to work with this card provider to confirm compatibility.

  Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple Support.

  Kind regards.

• Main problems to upgrade the graphics card in my Mac Pro in 2006.

  I am trying to upgrade the graphics card OEM in my Mac Pro 2006 to a Radeon HD 4870 1 GB graphics card.  I have big problems.  The previous owner recommended that my BONES 10.7.5 uninstalling and reinstalling.  I don't know how to do this.  The Apple website was no help with this issue.  The previous owner gave me a lot of procedures I've ever done before, including removing and re-creation of my RAM and using a Kext troubleshooting application.  Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

  a 4870 with 1 GB of VRAM is not a real Mac card (who had only 512 MB of VRAM). Unlikely to show an image until the login screen, if ever. Unless the seller has a 100% guaranteed working procedure to get this working, I recommend you return for a refund - it is not likely to work in your Mac.

  A true 5770 Mac or 5870 is the best approach for a 2006 or 2007 Mac Pro, because they are known to work with everything except movies under copyright, and your Mac is stuck in the 32-bit kernel and pre - 10.7.5 MacOS.

• card eSATA for Satellite Pro A200GE - 26Q

  Hello world

  I'm new on the forum and laptops computers Toshiba range as a whole, but I recently took delivery of my nice new Satellite Pro A200GE - 26Q.

  On the surface, it seems a beautiful machine, but here's the question:

  Like I need reading wav and MP3 directly from an external drive I am interested in an eSATA as they claim offer lightning speed (I na? don't know how true that is) but I guess USB is not fast enough for my needs.

  I saw on some web sites you can buy cards eSATA, which is in a port or a card (thingy) on your laptop - is this possible on my laptop and if so someone knows what cards are best for Toshiba?

  The same State of websites to stay away from some brands of cards, especially the cheaper because they do not offer the full speed of eSATA and in some cases are actually slower than USB.

  Now if it's a PC desk top that I could wack just in one eSATA top brand on the PCI bus expansion card but laptops are a total different animal. If this area is all new to me - tips or pointers greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Kenny

  May I ask what card eSATA you need and which you want to connect to the laptop?

  I googled a bit and it seems that this laptop has been equiupped with the 6 in 1 card reader. It supports these cards:
  SD Memory Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, MultiMediaCard, xD-Picture Card, SDIO

  But nothing about eSATA cards

  The laptop also supports the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard.
  So you will be able to transfer data and files with a speed of 480 Mbps (60 MB/s)
  I think this should be enough for you music
