#FASTEST VIDEO CARD FOR MAC PRO EARLY 2009 DRIVER#

I did not want to deal with having to go through driver updating every time the OS updated. I picked the card I have because at the time that was the beefiest card I could get that would run on native OS X drivers. I like Nvidia cards based mostly on my experience using them in PCs. That is the card I use to run my two monitors.Īctually I have no experience with the R9 280X card. The other is a Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 780 with 3GB card that is not flashed. One is the original GT 120 mac card that I do not use unless I need to see the boot screen. When I started my journey to acquire a cMP I did a ton of reading to decide what I wanted. It is a very long series of posts about graphic cards for the cMP line. It has two SSD drives - one for OS X and one that is used as a cache drive for Adobe plus a 1TB HDD for storage.įor more information on graphic cards I would suggest you check out the link I posted above. It is a long set of post starting back in 2012 but when I was putting together my MP and needed information it was very helpful.Īs stated in post #5 above, I have an upgraded 2009 MP. I am not sure how well PC cards will work with a 2009 but I have put a link below that will give you more information.

I chose to upgrade my 2009 to a 2010 to keep it eligible for OS upgrades a bit longer. I use my MP for video editing using Adobe CC apps. I have not found a permanent fix for it but the issue started with Sierra. If the MP goes to sleep and then wakes any video it plays is jerky.

The only quirk I have seen has to do with Sierra. I also keep the original GT120 in the MP but I do not attach a monitor unless I need to see the boot screen. I currently use a PC video card that has not been flashed which means no boot screen. I have a 2009/2010 Mac Pro (the firmware has been upgraded to make it "think" it is a 2010).
