I'm using my ssds as system drives and the spinning disks as time machine + storage devices. I should probably mention that I'm not into a lot of AAA titles but I recently upgraded to a 4k 27" monitor and the games I run (surviving mars, sanctum 2 to name a few) works like a charm. I'm on a sapphire 580rx and it's great, pretty cheap and I can play all the games I want. You can find Hong Kong datacentre operators offloading compatible processors and memory for pretty cheap on eBay. Absolutely do the CPU first, and the RAM.
Rx 590 compatible with 5.1 mac pro mid 2012 1080p#
(They are supported if they're used as external GPUs though, which is weird.Īs for what to do first for 1080p video editing? CPU first. The newest "Navi" cards (such as the 5700 XT) aren't supported in macOS yet, not even in Catalina. An AMD RX 580 (or 590) that consumes about 150 watts, an AMD RX Vega 56 that consumes around 180-210 watts. Lastly, you have three options depending on how much power you feel safe putting through the motherboard.
Then, grab a PCI-E adapter for an NVMe M.2 SSD, be warned you can't boot Windows via Boot Camp with them so get a SATA SSD to put Windows on if you need it, and partition the SSD to store some Windows applications alongside macOS and its apps. If you go up to 32GB, you'll lose triple-channel as you'll be using 4 sticks instead, which will be somewhat slower. This will put the RAM into the rare "triple-channel" mode for single CPU Mac Pros. Next, find 24GBs (8GB x 3 sticks) of 1333mhz DDR3 ECC RAM. Grab an Intel Xeon W3690 for the single fastest SINGLE CPU you can install into the machine. Okay so, assuming this is a single CPU Mac Pro I'd just do what I did.
