Here's the Nvidia Quadro K5000 for $599 used on Newegg, but I don't how it supports metal and I don't if it's also compatible with the thunderbolt card from HP that I also want to get to add thunderbolt 2.0 support to my Mac Pro 2012 because I don't if the Mac Pro 2012 supports the HP Thunderbolt 2.0 card and I don't know if it will work with the Quadro K5000 officially for Mac either: Here is the Sapphire Radeon 7970 HD officially for Mac with 3 GB of video ram on Newegg, but it's out of stock now:
Here is the same Radeon Pro WX7100 from dells website for $399: This is the Radeon Pro WX7100 that has 8GB of video ram and is single din on Newegg for $499:
Check video card macbook pro 2012 upgrade#
Is this fault present in the 2012 model as well? Yes, it is! just not as badly! The newer NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M GPU ran more efficiently from the AMD Radeon HD 6750M or 6770M GPU’s used in the 2011 models so it didn’t struggle as hard so the systems GPU ran cooler.I need help deciding which video card to get for my Mac Pro 2012, so that my Mac Pro 2012 will be able to support the Metal Graphics API to allow it to upgrade to Mojave. So running heavy graphics will kill your system over time. Of course that is the same as the old Packard expecting it to work beyond what it was designed to run at. So what does this have to do with the MacBook Pro’s? Basically, the same! The applications we run on these systems have just like the roads gotten better but in doing so we are expecting the system to keep up running these apps without failing us. We of course don’t blame the car as it did what it was designed to run at, the roads just got better! So going 60 in the old 1950 Packard would quickly kill the engine as the road was just too much for it.
Within 20 short years the interstates and most major roads where rebuilt into modern roads we have today able to support cars running 85 MPH or faster as the top speed most limited to 65 MPH. Roads that you could maybe travel at best 50 MPH. But, if you pushed it over 60 MPH for long periods you would kill the engine! In the day the roads where still mostly dirt or gravel other than the cities which were mostly cobblestone and tar. We forget the design of a given system was based on the technology it was build with, not for the applications we desire to run on it today, which can push the system to the breaking point.Ī 1950 Packard Super 8 was a great car in its day, its top speed was about 85 MPH. Its suspected NVIDEA was smart enough to add a bit of lead into the solder (or used a better formulation) they used within the chip so the issue is not present within their chips. While we can clean off the old solder and apply Leaded solder around the external joints we just can’t get into the chip to fix the Flip-Chip joints. So using a Lead containing solder removed the Tin whiskers risk as well as solder breakdown (cold solder joints) which is also present. The 2011 GPU’s had this failure internally as the chip ran hotter and Apple failed to cool the GPU effectively.
It is believed excessive heat aggravates this process. This can happen within either solder join area. As the volume of Tin increases in the solder, the Tin can create whiskers! This is when the tin migrates material to an apposing charge ( NASA - What are Tin Whiskers). The issue is in fact the soldering which can be either the chips external connections or it can be the joints within the chip (FlipChip).Īpple’s push for lead-free solder while noble got them into trouble. Arberman is correct the 2011 models have a bad GPU and/or the VRAM chips.
