That would mean that 80-90% of the computers Apple sells could not run Logic properly.due to "on-board" built-in graphics. Mac Pro's are top end computers that are very expensive.and I would be surprised if Mac Pro's represent more than 10-20% (at the very most) of all computers Apple sells. I would have to say that this has got to be a "bunch of boloney"! When you figure that the percent of all Macintosh computers sold that have on-board graphics (laptops, iMac's, and Mac-mini's).this is probably 80-90% of all Mac computers sold. Regarding Logic not running well on Mac's with on-board graphics. I’ll wait until makes the HD 4870 available as a PC/Mac retail card, like the HD3870 and comes down in price and works with my 2 Cinema HD 23″ DVI Displays and Apple Color.When you read (or heard) that "Logic" may not not run as well on Macintosh's with on-board graphics (laptops, Mac-mini's, and iMac's).those are the Macintosh models that would be involved when discussing "on-board" graphics.

In the meantime, the 3870 is a good card and is now quiet (noisy as stock because ATI wanted to make it a single slot card for a wider base, increasing noise from a smaller fan) once I replaced the fan with a passive cooler (since the bottom PCIe2 slot has room for a dual space card) it is now super quiet :-) I imagine ATI will correct this and come out with a retail version that will drive two DVI ports, just like they did for the HD 3870. Therefore, disappointed to hear that the HD 4870 will only work with one monitor on the 2008 Mac pro’s unless Apple gets Color working with dual cards. Apple never mentioned this when I ordered two of them for my video workstation. I was forced to go this route as I use Apple’s “Color” app (part of the FCP Studio 2 suite) which will not work (launch) with two cards installed. I’ve been running a HD 3870 in my 2008 Mac Pro 2.8 and it works flawlessly and much faster than the ATI 2600 XT. I would do it myself, if Apple will play this rather ignorant game with it’s clients. Rominator, would you mind to supply me with the flashin procedure for the 4870.

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (part number 630-9492), offered as an upgrade kit. I have 12GB RAM, with Motion set to use between 75-85% of the RAM, 4 disks equalling 4TB (3GB/s 32MB cached internal drives)…… Am I missing something. Mac Pro (Original) NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT.

This is luducrous for such a ‘supposedly’ high end machine. Then it was recognised, but with ALL the tweeks Ive tried I see “”NO”” improvement other than noise reduction… and I believe its slower than my ATI X1900 card.

So I bought it, installed it, to find I then needed to purchase 10.5.6 (Leopard), so bought this, installed, fitted the 8800. “The 8800GT is the best one for this model”…. Recently spoke with Apple re a graphics upgrade. Work demanded I leave the mac pro for a while and now on my return, I am still convinced Ive been sold a 5k bathtub. I have used the ATI x1900 as Apple recommended on initial purchase… It seemed to run ok with MOTION graphics at osx9.x, then on upgrading to 10.X Tiger, it slowed dramatically for me or appeared to. I have the 2007 2.1 2 cpu Quad-core (core?) UPDATE 8/27/10 We tested the Radeon 58 graphics cards with all model year (2006-2010) Mac Pros…see the results at this revealing post!

We’ll have more details later, but there’s a preliminary first look summary. If you have an 800MHz Mac Pro now – the GT120 ought to become a nice option all around… And the 4870 maybe too for those wanting that super video performance while not needing it to support two displays. No go with either of Video Cards from the new Mac Pros. The other video cards above are compatible with the 'Early 2008' and 'Early 2009' as well as the 'Mid-2010' and 'Mid-2012' Mac Pro models.

The quick results are: GT120 functions, in both ports, in 800MHz Mac Pro.Ĥ870 – Works A-OK via its DVI port.
