If on the other hand, you plan more demeaning tasks, such as regular video editing, or gaming, a more powerful RX580 or even a Vega card will be better. In my opinion, there is no "one best graphics card" for the Mac Pro, but rather it depends on your goal.įor example, many users can also be happy with an RX560, because it costs less and draws less power. While the old RX560 was only a 6x lane card with a 128-bit memory bus, the faster RX580 is a 16x lane card with a 256-bit memory bus. My testing shows that there is a nice improvement with this video card upgrade, partly because of the larger memory, but also because of the faster processor, and I assume the difference in lane width.
While everything worked fine I wanted to reduce unnecessary read/write operations, making my video editing experience as fast a possible. I noticed that iMovie would constantly read data from my SSD and move it into the GPU memory, only to dump it out shortly afterward to load in another part of my project.
When I bought my used Mac Pro 4.1 last year I put in the smaller RX560 with 2GB of video memory, however, I found that as my video projects grew in size this was too small. More and more people want a fast graphics card for their early-2009 or mid-2010 Mac Pro, especially because the new macOS Mojave requires a metal compatible GPU to be installed. # Tutorial Series # Old Mac Pro - Still Worth It?
