![]() ![]() Its still holding its own next to 1080Ti’s and the newer 2000 series cards. The Vega64 is a couple years old now but its still a compute power house for Resolve and Adobe apps. Sure if its your only choice its ok but after a LOT of research I came to the conclusion that the 2 better choices where the Vega64 or 5700XT as options. The short answer is that while the AMD 580 is supported, its not exactly a performance monster by my NVIDIA GPU’s standards or others. ![]() Also please consider sending the script author a donation for the fine bit of work he is doing, its well worth it to support. Maybe an hour or so with a good internet connection and SSD. Follow the directions, its not really much more complicated than an OS install, and you’ll have 10.15.2 running on your Mac tower as fast as the downloads and installers can run. While 10.14 was supported, and I could limp that along for at least another year there was really nothing preventing 10.15 form running on my machine except apple being bad. The cheapest and simplest fix was an updated GPU to let a newer OS run. With the apparent demise of all NVIDIA support now, I had to try to figure out what I was going to do. I’d gotten tired of waiting for driver updates to appear after OS updates and hope it would all work. However apple wasn’t letting me continue with OS updates with the NVIDIA driver mess. ![]() ![]() The NVIDIA Titan X I’ve been running for a couple years is still a fast beast for 1080 and holds up ok for 4K. Now a b ig part of the equation has been the GPU. The speed difference isn’t worth $12K or more to swap out machines. Now keeping a 9 year old machine running sounds crazy, but if it serves your needs more than good enough, then who cares ? Sure those new 2019 Mac Pro’s are insanely fast, but my machine does what I need more than fast enough with all the latest hardware and software updates. It was as fast as a 2013 machine at least, which with updated GPU life was good. Sure not the fastest system, but with CPUs updated to 3.46ghz xeons it was more than good enough. Being stuck on 10.13.6 on my Mac tower 2010 was not happiness. ![]()
