    I know we're a rare breed, BUT I have a 2012 "cheese grater" Mac Pro with a non-metal compatible graphics card (only thing I never upgraded).

    Anyone in the same boat?

    *sigh*

    • Anyone with advice on something compatible that would do that trick (on the cheap)?

    • cheese graters are the bestimbecile
    • My cheesgrater died, ended up getting an iMac. What sort of work are you doing?PhanLo
    • I love this old piece of shit Mac.

      Design, development but with a bit of photography, video, etc. so a graphic card WILL be a good investment...      ideaist
    • ...IF I either:

      1. Get an iMac / iMac Pro ($$$)

      2. Wait for the "next" Mac Pro / Mac Mini / "Who the fuck knows Apple Product X"

      3. Switch careers.      ideaist
    • Sorry, "IF" should have read "UNLESS"; not sure how THAT happened.

    • Some EGVA and PNY cards work with '12 Macs. Try to research some 960/970 models. Don't invest too much money.mekk
    • CPU will bottleneck any fast card and most of our creative software do not profit from faster GPU's.mekk
