Mac pro 2010 only has 6 pin power for gpu mac#
And we’ve heard local Mac stores do very well refurbishing and selling them. OWC sells them, and a 2008 model starts at $299, while newer and beefier models can run up to $3500-plus. Now being able to breathe new life into the Intel versions, and make them hot rods again, is instantly appealing.įirst of all, if you don’t have an old Intel ‘Cheese Grater’ Mac Pro, you can always buy used or refurbished. And that was the beauty of those old ‘cheese graters:’ They were highly upgradable, even going back to the G5 models released in 2003. One even bragged that they hacked the boot EFI on his old 2006 model to support OS X’s latest 64-bit architecture.
Instead of reaching for the carrot on the stick and buying a 5K iMac, they want to go the Jared Land method and blow the dust off their old Mac Towers. Land’s Facebook post sent shockwaves among the REDheads and others who are itching for every ounce of processor power they can squeeze out of their Macs, and those who were left wanting more not only by Apple’s ‘Trash Can Mac,’ but the tease of a coming Modular Mac that Cupertino promises will overcome many of its flaws, and won’t be out until 2018 or evern 2019. “After my post last night I have had lots of emails and messages from people excited about reviving their cheese grater 2009-2012 old Mac Pros asking me for the model numbers of the bits and pieces that I used for my refresh.” – Land With the GTX1080-Ti and RED’s Rocket X GPU, Land is able to have the more modern gear shoulder a lot of the heavy lifting with greater graphics processor power, and let the Xenon chips do what they do best, handle the computations for the rest of the Mac Pro.
Not surprising if you consider that processor development has kind of peaked the last few years, with Intel and AMD focusing instead on building chips with multiple cores to handle the heavy duty processing power of gaming and video editing, rather than crashing past the current GHz plateau. But still, its Xenon processors are seven years old, yet Land says it can blow any brand new Mac out of the water. All that gear makes Land’s classic rig a hot rod ready for the digital quarter mile. Providing a laundry list of special gear he’s put into his tower, Land showed how he upgraded “ole Bessie:” An NVIDIA GTX 1080-Ti card, an Internal RED Rocket-X GPU Accelerator, a StarTech USB-C 2.1 card, 40TB Internal Raid, and a beefy 128GB of Ram. But to be fair, a lot has happened since then and Land’s old 2010 MacPro isn’t your typical retail model. Glad to hear that Land has found this out, and we talked about it back in 2015.

“And just like that … Nvidia just released Mac drivers for all of its new cards, and instantly the old 2010 twelve-core Mac Pro Tower becomes the fastest, best Mac that you can no longer buy.” – Jarred Land, Facebook

Well, if you were one of those who kept your powder dry, NVIDIA is rewarding your patience with a new driver update that RED’s Jarred Land says could turn that old ‘cheese grater’ Mac Pro into the fastest Mac around. In the meantime, Apple did something unprecedented and told a handful of journalists about their modular Mac Pro plans. How many of you bought the late-2013 Mac Pro, originally announced in June 2013 and released that December, and only now has been updated.
