FOR SALE AMD Radeon 7950 3GB Mac Pro compatible video card. And yes, I am aware I'll be losing the Boot Screen, not really a problem for me.Īnyone else have any thoughts to add? I considered the lower priced, less power hungry RX 560 card but figured why not spend $50 more for the added performance. AMD RADEON HD 7950 3GB Video card Compatiable with Apple Mac Pro METAL Supported - 195.00. It has 12 cores (6x2 CPUS), 22 virtual cores, 64bg of RAM and a a Samsung SSD M2 boot drive. Seemed like a relatively inexpensive way to boost a little more life out of my 8 year old computer. I mean, it's not like were playing high powered video games. It boasts 800 ALUs (shader processors), 40 texture units, a 256-bit memory. I have no idea if Pro Tools 2019.5 takes advantage of Metal or other video/screen redraw technologies employed by the graphics card/OS. The Radeon HD 4870 is based on ATI’s 55nm RV770, sporting 956 million transistors on a 260 square millimeter die. I'm betting that the increased video performance may impact the overall performance of Pro Tools somewhat, albeit possibly not very much. I successfully updated to the latest Pro Tools Ultimate 2019.5 running on High Sierra 10.13.6 and performance is good. I love this card (even though its kinda loud), and its done its job. Ive had an excellent graphics card in the ATI Radeon HD 5770 for the past five years, and its still capable of running games like Skyrim full blast: ultra graphics + mods + ENB. I run 3 monitors in my studio and this card will run even more. of 2 - Good GPU upgrade from an ATI Radeon HD 5770 - posted in Hardware and software discussion: Hey guys Im hoping you can help me out, here.

Why? Because my stock ATI Radeon HD 5770 card is not Metal compatible and therefore I can't update High Sierra to Mojave. It is with some trepidation that I just spent $223 on Amazon for a Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 580 8GB GDDR5 graphics plus Dual Mini 6 Pin to 8 Pin PCI Express Video Card Power Adapter Cable.
