I put my Radeon 580 in 2nd slot, it created more heat on HD so move back to 1st slot

Hey there, Sebastian, thanks for sharing this great experience. I have a 2010 mac pro (8core) and it still goes hard but I have been thinking about upgrading more. One thing I did early on was add an mSata card with striped 500GB msata for editing and I also run the OS from another slot. It goes well. When you upgrade as you state in your video, prepare to be very pleased! I think I have a 3gb graphics card and I can edit 4k on this old beast but only shorter sequences and then it chugs. I would be interested to upgrade to the 8GB card in your video but also toying with other options. One thing with this tower (and the reason I have not upgraded yet) is I run 6TB drives in three internal slots and then removed the CD and have that SATA cable hanging out externally so I can attach SSDs from my Shogun video recorder directly to the computer. It's a great setup. Bypassing no USB 3 on my system.

Is it possible? What about the 680, is that a mac edition, or I can use a regular one. Do I need o flash it? I'm a tad ignorant of such a matter and need to learn more. Thanks in advance, and congrats on these great videos!

Hi, and thx a lot for this great video. You don't speak about the power supply. Is the original Mac Pro 300W enough? because the RX need 225 W.

However, in my test, the card actually has better cooling in slot 1. Not sure why, may be because warm air rise, so the higher the slot, the warm the air the graphic card will intake, but this is the test result (the test was done with a PNY XL8 1080Ti). Or may be because all 4 HDD bays are occupied. Therefore, too little space above the card for the warmed air to escape.

​@@juschu Since the Sapphire Pulse RX580 do not come out of the box with a flashed ROM for Mac OS you can't physically see booting screen... You will see directly LOGIN screen... that is something different... The Sapphire Pulse RX580 that apple reported as "supported" by the mac pro 5.1 it only means that there's no need to setup or install drivers since the architecture is compatible with Mojave GPU's drivers... In fact lots of persons who updated the Mac Pro 5.1 with the Shappire Pulse RX580 they reported on macrumors or other forums that they do not have booting screen or can't use file vault... So how you can see the apple logo booting screen? you would be the first in the world......

No, the AMD VII card needs too much power, and most Vega cards need two power connectors, that's why they don't work easily.

Please be mindful of the graphics card power draw because the Mac Pro provides: • PCI Slot = 75 Watt • PCI AUX A = 75 Watt • PCI AUX B = 75 Watt Case A: Use the "mini 6pin to 6pin" for a total of 150 watts available ➜ geni.us/gBZvb Case B: Use the "dual mini 6pin to 8pin" for a total of 225 watts ➜ geni.us/5ozmi ### Case A - Low Power Cards ### • Sapphire Pulse RX560 (11267-20) = 75 Watt ➜ geni.us/496emt • MSI Aero RX560 (ITX OC) = 60 Watt ➜ geni.us/5V0VD3 ### Case B - High Power Cards ### • Sapphire Special Edition RX580 (11265-21) = 250 Watt* • Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 (11265-01) = 235 Watt* • Sapphire Pulse RX580 (11265-05) = 225 Watt ➜ geni.us/rX6mx *Always go to your card manufactures website, and use the exact model number (SKU) to identify the power draw. Because even if the card has the same chip, power draw can sometimes vary due to the card's memory, and or chip clock speed.

Could that discrepancy in memory usage be similar to how cores are used? I've noticed Logic Pro does a similar thing with CPU cores. It will be low, low, low, and then when I EXPORT or do certain functions, especially export all tracks, it will blast the cores to %100. My theory is the programs are not utilizing cores (or boost) well, or it can do all it can (since other options are frozen) during these functions.

HOW DO I UPGRADE TO MOJAVE WITH A CLEAN I STALL ON A 5.1 WITH A PULSE RX 580 SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

each 6-pin delivers 75W, but the RX 580 draws 185W at the 8-Pin Port, is the system stable, when you render with GPU?

Actually the card seems to draw surprisingly little power, • Desktop use 15 ~ 25 Watts • Video editing/export 35 ~ 45 Watts • Gaming 90 ~ 135 Watts

Now because there are many different RX580 cards, I can’t speak to other models, but at least for the Sapphire Pulse edition, it should be relatively similar, for measuring I did use iStat Menus ➜ bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/

Also I would imagine that other programs, I currently only use iMovie, may utilize the GPU more, like when you export in Adobe, or Final Cut X, so far however, the system runs 100% flawlessly.

PCIe x16 slot delivers 75w plus 2x 75w from the 6pin connectors, so it should be a total of 225w possible (if you use the 2x6pin to 1x8pin adapter)

Apple uses a custom BIOS on there stock GPUs, all aftermarkte cards dont support the grey bootup screen, filevault needs to be disabled in case you are using it.

does it also work on Os catalina?

The Mac Pro 4.1 and 5.1 (Early 2009 ~ Mid 2012) doesn't officially support Catalina anymore, and while there seem to be some workarounds if in question I would stick with Mojave.

My MacPro 5.1, (OS El Capitan) do not recognize the card. :-( Is there a chance for it?
