External graphics (Mac Mini)

Hey, I recently got into graphic design and am looking for an external graphics card. I did some research and heard, that it is possible to use an external graphics card which crosses the thunderbolt port. I watched some cases and adapters to do and comes to the conclusion of them being too expensive, as I will not be able to afford something that works. So I tried to find a way around it and found this solution. I would be grateful if anyone here who has a little more experience than me to tell me if this will work.

I worked on that I could get a USB 3.0 to mPCI_e converter and then plug the USB 3.0 adapter Thunderbolt and my mac mini.

I am aware that this will probably not work and so would welcome any suggestions you have. I know it's kinda a stupid question, but I have very little experience to work it myself. Having recently bought the my mac, I do not seek for a new PC, but I need some sort of solution since I was worried about the health of my mac, since it works mainly on high temperatures.

I use the middle range 2.6 GHz Mac Mini end of 2014.

Thanks in advance.

Yo mean by "my mac because it runs mainly on high temperature?

Currently I'm not aware of any way to run an external graphics PCLe card that appears via the graphics PCLe card output. If you could graph out of the map would probably slow PCLe being much faster than the USB3 or love at first sight. There might be ways to use cards to use the graphics PCLe card for purposes of calculations, does not aim

  • VRAM can be improved in the Mac Mini graphics card?

    My goal is to run the FCP and the movement on an older mac mini.   End 2012, Mac Mini, but the only missing area is the amount of VRAM associated with the graphics card.  For example; Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 1536 MB shared VRAM, Motion 5.2 specifications is VRAM 256, I upgrade the VRAM?  I can update the entire graphics card, or would one of these more trouble than what it's worth?

    Here are the full specifications of the Mac Mini I am considering buying used.

    2.3 GHz Intel QUAD 'Core i7' processor with boost speeds up to 3.3 GHz

    8 GB of 1600 memory DDR3 SDRAM MHz (PC3-12800), easily expandable to 16 GB

    256 GB of Flash storage

    Intel HD Graphics with 1536 MB shared VRAM 4000

    Port FireWire "800", four USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, Thunderbolt

    The only thing out of the plug of movement is the VRAM.

    Thank you for your help.

    Mac Mini memory system is used for VRAM on 2012.

    There is no way to increase the system RAM, it serves of VRAM, once you max the RAM System.

    With less than 4 to 8 GB of system RAM less system RAM use of VRAM

  • Drive external hard (connected to the Mac mini USB) disconnect during use

    I have a 3 TB (WD green) hard drive in an external hard drive enclosure "miniStack MAX Media", connected to my Late 2012 Mac mini via USB.

    I don't know when he started to do this, but I recently noticed that it was dismantling even when she was in use; the error was:

    Disc eject does not correctly
    EJECT 3 ' TB' before you unplug or turn off.

    I replaced the USB cable and saw the same mistakes.

    I moved the HARD drive to a different box. same mistakes.

    I swapped the HARD drive to a whole new WD 4TB blue; same mistakes.

    So now I have a new drive in a new case with a new cable, and I see the same messages "Disk not ejected correctly".

    (By the way the disk utility has shown that the two discs were fine when I ran first aid.)

    This brings me to assume that the problem is with my Mac mini, which runs at El Capitan and is fully aware of the updates of the operating system.

    Recommendations on next steps to investigate and resolve this problem?

    It seems that your external draws too much power. That shows the report of your system? You have an external power supply for external drive? Have you tried to use all the USB ports on your Mac?

  • Mac Mini does not recognize external hard drive

    Hello!

    I have a weird question on my Mac Mini. I have two Seagate to 8 external drives connected via USB to my Mac Mini (mid-2011 with Maverics). The discs worked well, but suddenly one of them will not be recognized by the Mac Mini.

    I connected the hard drive of my MacBook Pro and an old PC and it works fine and all files are available, but for some reason, my Mac Mini will have nothing to do with her anymore.

    It does not appear in the finder or disk utility. I unplugged the hard drive for hours and then tried to plug it back without a bit of luck. I restarted the Mac Mini on several occasions. I also tried to connect it to all the USB ports on the Mac Mini. When I connect it to the USB ports, there is no whisper sound indicating that it has started working. However, no sign of it on the Mac Mini.

    It's like the Mac Mini has decided to ignore the external hard drive, no matter what I do. Seeing this works on other devices, I'm fairly certain that the problem lies in the Mac Mini.

    I'm no expert, so any help will be very valuable for me. And if you are kind to help, please explain it to me like I'm 8 or 93 years old.

    Thank you.

    Are these drives powered independently or they depend on USB power?

  • External drive running on the new Mac Mini

    I try to run an external hard drive that has mountain lion OS with Pro Tools HD of 10. My Mac Mini end of 2015 reads the device, but when I try to boot from it I got a clear x. I tried to start the external on my old macbook (circa 2005?) and I was able to load the operating system and Pro Tools. However, because of the sheet material of the Macbook, it is unnecessary. My main goal here is to start this player on my MacMINI, but I think that my hardware is too NEW? I don't know if Apple hardware is not designed for Mountain Lion. Help, please.

    You cannot start a Mac from an OS older than what it came with. It has always been like that. If your Mini 2015 will not be able to boot from external.

  • Is the edition of the Mac Mini (2.6 GHz, 8 GB, Iris Graphics) good for photo?

    Hello!

    It's time for me to invest in a new laptop / desktop, especially that I picked up photography as a hobby. I've always been a Windows user, but after purchasing my iPhone and iPad, I plan to join the Mac camp. Right now I'm undecided, get a Windows laptop (with all of the easy extensibility comes with it), or the Mac Mini (2.6 GHz, 8 GB, Iris Graphics) and be stuck with its 8 GB of RAM? Portability isn't a factor for me, and I can't afford a higher spec Mac (especially since I'll receive a Fujifilm X - T1 soon!). This configuration of Mac Mini will serve me well for at least 5 years, using Photoshop/Lightroom?

    See you soon!

    You can order it with 16 GB of RAM.

    The extent of the Photoshop and Lightroom, the current Minis will be just adequate.

    You will not get the performance you out of a machine with discrete graphics.

    Although it is better than previous iterations of the integrated graphics card Intel.

  • External GPU for Mac Mini

    I've recently updated to an average device format, and now (not surprisingly) Photoshop is slow when you perform the great composition.  I would like to know if the upgrade to an external graphics card would speed up photoshop and bridge?  I would move out of internal Intel hd 4000 to something like the nvidia 960 or 970.  Does anyone have experience with graphics cards of outdoor games and their effect on the performance of photoshop?

    Pierre, my interest in the Puget systems is with what they put out.  We have a few discussions around their test results over the years, with the performance of the multi-core with Photoshop being the one that comes to mind

    But they do similar tests with Lightroom

    I love to boast that my system is still in 17th position on the table of results of PPBM5 (on the high-end computers 1300) and the highest place Mac is 661e somewhere (I think).  It's with a lot of help and advice to injury, Bill, Erik etc.  My box is done on four years now and I would like to a good excuse to build a new system, but I can't justify while my system is in fact what I wonder what.  I suspect that monster of prejudice was purely an exercise in strengthening the OTT system.
