Is it possible to upgrade to a Mac Pro graphics card to run the LIVE HTC?

I have a Mac Pro, with 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5, 32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC and AMD over-pants D300 with 2048 of vram.

I just bought a HTC Vive and I'm looking for possible solutions avoid buying an additional pc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any helpful info.

Only upgrades would be to replace the D300 with the D500 or of the D700. You can get them on eBay or elsewhere. Apple does not sell to them.

    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.

  • I want to exchange a larger HDD (Mac Pro early 2009) and at the same time improve Cougar to El Capitan.

    I want to exchange a larger HDD (Mac Pro early 2009) and at the same time improve Cougar to El Capitan. What is the best way to do it?

    I think the best would be a new installation of El Capitan on the new HD and reinstall the applications on the new HD, and then migrate the data and setting for the previous version of OSX. In this way the least unused stuff enters the new OSX version

  • RAM upgrade and Satellite A200 - 19K graphic card memory:

    Hi all

    The Satellite A200 - 19K came with 1024 MB memory system. It's only 2 cards of memory of 512 MB or just 1 memory card 1024Mo in the system of the laptop? I would like to add another a 1024 MB of RAM, is that the slot more be available?

    The second question is on the graphics card from NVIDIA. The product specification mentions the graphics adapter as below...

    Manufacturer: NVIDIAî
    type: NVIDIAî Geforcea? ¢ GB 7300 supporting Turbocachea? ¢ technology
    memory: 64 MB dedicated VRAM (up to 335 MB of total available graphics memory using Turbocachea? ¢ technology with 2 GB of system memory)
    memory type: DDR video RAM (resp. video RAM DDR and DDR system memory combined)
    connected bus: PCI Express 16 x

    My question is, after upgrade from 1024 MB to 2048 MB system memory, is that the card NVIDIA GeForce will be automatic upgrade from 64 MB to 256 MB for graphics memory?

    TAHNKS A LOT!

    Hello
    >, It's only 2 cards of memory of 512 MB or just 1 memory card 1024Mo in the system of the laptop
    I think that the laptop came with a module of memory 1 GB and the second Bank should be free.

    Now something about the graphics card.
    Well, the graphics card GeForce Go 7300 supports own graphics memory 256 MB (no shared memory!)
    But it also allows a dedicated memory.
    This amount of memory is variable and depends on the available main memory.

    I think that everything runs automatically and you will not need to change the settings to assign this memory dedicated after main memory upgrade

  • Mac Pro is not displayed after the passage of the screens

    OK, so this is a strange problem but it's very annoying (at least for me). I just bought a LG Ultrawide 29 "display and connected via a HDMI cable to my Mac Pro (Home machine) and a second HDMI cable to my Macbook Pro (desktop computer). The Mac pro / Macbook pro good work with the big screen, HOWEVER, when I use my Mac pro and select the tilt of the screen to switch to the HDMI 2 connection, it works and rocking on my Macbook pro. But when I try to switch it back to HDMI 1 (Mac Pro), it comes back with a black screen and says no signal. Even if I plug the HDMI cable it does not work. I set the timer to 3 hours sleep, doesn't always help. I know he's not missing sleep because itunes can be played when I spend and still playing music throughout and continued when I try to switch back. The only way I could get is long, press the button on my Mac Pro and restart.

    The only reasonable difference that I know is that the Macbook pro is running Yosemites, while my Mac Pro running Beta El Capitan. I have a feeling, this is probably the cause, but I just wanted to know if someone has solved this problem somehow.

    Thank you

  • 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

    Hi all hope you can help me. I bought ps cs4 extended upgrade for my Mac. Try to install the program istall check my system profile then asks me the serial number of the product. all well up to this point, then on the next page, it tells me it cannot find an existing product to upgrade and asks me to insert the serial number of the eligible product. I have the full version of the standard cs3 on my Mac so I insert the number. OK so far. on the same page it asks me to choose my product qualifying showing cs3 extended in the box. However when I try to insert the standard cs3 I find there is nothing to change this option only one.  On the adobe website, it clearly shows that I should be able to update to the standard version, expanded. Can someone dvise me. I bought the upgrade of Apple and it is the international version.

    It could be you have been sent or given the wrong upgrade package.

  • Upgrade my 2009 mac Pro

    I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 version. I'm looking to rank my early 2009 mac pro 2.66 GHz Quad-core 3 X 2 Gb 1066 MHz to a core of 3.33 GHz 12 with a memory of 32 GB at 1333 MHz, I also want to update my video card with output double mini display. Already, I have a 1 TB SSD, is there anything else I can do to improve performance. And how would address this problem.

    Than you

    If you have that 2 GB or RAM, hold off on adding processors up to that increase you the RAM.

    Once you have enough RAM for that Activity Monitor shows green permanently, then look at CPU utilization. If the CPU is not maxed out, you need help with your e/s and faster processor will not make a major improvement except in the compressor.

  • 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.

    Michael C.

    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
