![]() I did a quick batch export that with CPU takes 82 seconds, but with the GTX it took only 24 seconds. I was pleased to see my export times cut to less than 1/3 of what they were. It was relatively inexpensive and I don't want to pour too much more money into this computer (waiting to see what Apple comes up with for the next Mac Pro). Not exactly apples to apples, but I'm on an 8-core 2008 Mac Pro and swapped out the Radeon HD 5770 (unusable in COP but still better than the 8800GT that came with it) for a flashed NVIDIA GTX 680. This is most likely a very uncommon problem completely isolated to my own configuration. The only remedy I have found so far is to connect an old monitor that the Mac sees while booting and once the OS is fully up connect the BenQ. The computer will not see the monitor when booting and therefore gets stuck before it even goes into booting the OS. I personally have a problem with this card and my monitor, a BenQ SW320. If Apple release an OS update, NVIDIA's updated driver usually sows up within 24 hours. Even though they are hard to find at first, NVIDIA pushes out current drivers super fast. I bought mine from and their card is flashed.Ģ. ![]() Make sure you get a card that's flashed to run in a Mac, otherwise you will have NO boot up screens whatsoever. Yet I would still go with a more current card like the NVIDIAs.ġ. The speed improvement with the NVIDIA card is good (the bump with the Sapphire was more noticeable, but that's because the Mac Pro's own card is really bad). I then upgraded further to a NVIDIA GTX980Ti (the 1080 is available in the meantime) - mostly to drive a 4k monitor well. I had the Sapphire card in my Mac Pro Mid 2010 and speed improvement was pretty steep coming from the old ATI card.
