Is there anything out there that I can upgrade to? I looked at the "Mojave list" and I think that there must be some others that would work. The card in my computer is presently an ATI Radeon HD 5870.

I know that a regular TV will do me nothing.

It needs to be quiet as the Mac Pro Is situated in a recording studio - the computer is in the room. The display needs a have a fast refresh rate as well as being sharp and clear - and sizable. Hyper-Threading technology for up to 8 virtual cores. Turbo Boost dynamic performance up to 3.46GHz. 8MB of fully shared 元 cache per processor.

everything that one of my professional DAWs - Avid's Pro Tools, Apple's Logic Pro, and MOTU's Digital Performer - run. Quad-core (standard configuration) One 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon W3565 processor.
This new monitor needs to be able to display all the same graphics, mixing board, editing window, transport window, playback controls.
Right now I am running an Apple Cinema HD Display (2560 x 1600) and an HP ZR30w (2560 x 1600).
I am trying to have the same visual real estate that I have now spread across two 30" displays on one larger display and at the same size and clarity. Here’s how the Xeon X5690 (2012 Mac Pro), Xeon E5-2697 v2 (2013 Mac Pro) and a Xeon Gold 6146 compare against each other.I need a new graphics card, one that will run at least 4K on my older mid 2012 Mac Pro. A 12-core Mac Pro is still respectable, but a modern dual-socket workstation system could contain as many as 56 CPU cores in a top-end configuration. It also ignores the fact that modern CPUs offer substantially more cores. That’s before we factor in any performance improvements from AVX, AVX2, or AVX-512 support. Even if we assume that Haswell and Skylake added just five percent on average on top of that, a modern Xeon CPU would still be 1.27x faster than Westmere, clock-for-clock. As this comparison from Anandtech shows, SNB was ~15 percent faster than Westmere at the same clock speed. So, my main focus is to change my Graphic Card (i have the Intel HD Graphic 4000) and my RAM (from 4 GB to 8 GB), however I found out i had to change my motherboard (logic board) to be able to change my graphic card. The fastest CPU configuration officially supported by a 2012-era Mac Pro is a pair of Xeon X5690’s, a six-core chip with a 3.46GHz base and 3.73GHz turbo clock. Hey guys I have a mid-2012 13' MacBook pro (2.5 Ghz, the cheaper model).
While it’s absolutely true that CPU performance improvements have slowed in recent years, 2011’s Sandy Bridge was a significant improvement over Westmere. But this is far from a sure thing and we’d generally recommend against it.īig Little Frank’s custom “cheese grater” Mac Pro If you know your workloads are entirely GPU-limited, it might be worth investing in a tower Mac Pro with a pair of modern graphics cards. There’s no doubt the classic Mac Pro tower can offer certain capabilities that the new iMac Pro and 2013 Mac Pro trash can both lack - like multiple internal drive bays, and the (unsupported) option to use modern GPUs in a multi-GPU configuration, as opposed to being limited to AMD’s ancient GCN 1.0 technology. It’s not hard to see why some users would prefer to upgrade the old “cheese grater” Macs rather than buying a 2013 system, and there’s even a Danish vendor, Big Little Frank, dedicated to reselling machines built around the older CPU platform. The question is, will this meaningfully benefit professional users - and can a third-party vendor beat the 2013 Mac Pro or the newer iMac Pro using Apple’s Mac Pro 5.1 from back in 2012? Five years later, third-party firms have taken it on themselves to offer the upgrades and capabilities Apple hasn’t added, and they’re using Apple’s older chassis to do it. While the new design and capabilities worked for some professional users, it failed to address the needs of others. The then-new systems emphasized multi-GPU configurations and offered a large number of Thunderbolt ports, but the diminutive form factor limited users to a single CPU socket and very little internal storage. When Apple launched its redesigned Mac Pro in late 2013, it alienated a significant percentage of its professional user base.
