![]() Do I want this? I also think depending on cost I with do the CPU upgrade as well. To be honest I don’t know what this means. Am I right in thinking this is essentially turning it into a 12 mentioned the Vega 56, is this the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 is this better than the RX you mentioned do I want to see/need a Mac EFI for boot screens. Also you mentioned you installed a dual 6 core 3.33 kit into your Mac. The radeon rx 580 8gb, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 and a AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 XT but the consensus seems to be if I have the space go for the Vega if not the RX 580 is this - You mentioned the upgrade kit, do you have a link for this so I know what I’m looking for. In terms of graphics card upgrades there seems to be three on the table. Is this easy to do? Whats the process of doing this? Am I going to f**k my Mac if I get it wrong?! It also seems that to make my rendering times shorter I should be updating the CPU. The original aim for me was 2 fold, to upgrade my graphics card so I could move onto Mojave but at the same time I thought It would help my renders, reading your replies I don’t think this is the case however this is still an aim of mine. I’ll also answer the specific questions here as well.Īny thanks for taking the time out to help me with this. Inevitably it’s created some more questions from me so here we go. Thanks so much for everyones contributions and useful answers to my post. +1 for looking at the processor upgrade first, and considering the Vega 56 (Marek does those, both flashing service and preflashed cards, as well). ![]() If you can manage without the boot screens (and keep your current GPU for troubleshooting), than just buy a regular card and it'll work just as well. Only other question is do you want/need a Mac EFI for boot screens etc? If you do, you'll be spending rather more money with Marek in Poland here. If you've got room for it in your MP, and it's powered correctly (you will need custom power cables, usually 2x mini 6 pin to 1x 8pin connection), it'll work. ![]() The only differences between the two Sapphire models mentioned, my Gigabyte Aorus card, and anyone else's are the onboard memory (4GB or 8GB), the port selection, the cooling solutions (some cards are 2.5 slots wide, most are two), and the level of overclock (which is marginal gains indeed, and I don't think makes any difference at all in the Mac OS because it's usually controlled by the vendor's GPU software). Also i'm based in the uk so if you have a link to the product that would help.Īn RX580 is an RX580 is an RX580. I don’t really want anything too complicated, install the card and go, preferably without changing the power pack. It’s purely for work and really I want quicker render times in cinema (through arnold) but without having to buy a new and expensive machine. On the side some other Adobe applications but that’s it. The Mac I’m using is my work horse, which because of the current situation is needing an urgent power boost! I’m a cgi artist and image professional mainly using cinema 4d r21 with Arnold renderer (the cpu version) and Adobe Photoshop 2020. ![]() So my question is what card do I upgrade to. Some threads I’ve seen talk about this card, a “AMD radeon rx 580 8gb” and others talk of this card, “Sapphire Nitro+ Special Edition RX 580”, and also this card “SAPPHIRE Radeon PULSE RX 580 8GB GDDR5 (is this the same as the first)” I’m upgrading my Mac Pro (mid 2010) 8 core (2 x 2.4 quad core intel xeon) to Mojave for work and I need some advice on a Metal compatible Graphics card for the upgrade.
