Seattle Laptop Stocks Mac Pros: Seattle Laptop has in stock over 20 Mac Pro desktop computers for sale. From 2006 / 2007 Dual CPU Mac Pros to at this time Mid 2010 Mac Pros running High Sierra. With a new video card the Mid 2010 Mac Pro will run Mojave. Older Mac Pros are very popular becaus of their incredible power, and the fact that they are versitile, and upgradable. Some of our Mac Pros have a PCI-e SSD boot hard drive, and 4 storage hard drives. They even come with wireless. If you or your company is looking to purchase, upgrade, or service a Mac Pro Seattle Laptop should be your first stop. We always have in stock a large selection and variety of Mac Pros for sale.

However, thanks to brilliant hackers who document their knowledge on various web forums, this limitation is easily by-passed with a firmware upgrade. The default firmware on the 2009 Mac Pro is 4,1. The needed firmware to run macOS High Sierra is 5,1 (the firmware for a 2010 Mac Pro). Upgrading the firmware couldn't have been easier. Once upgraded, the limitations were removed and I managed to install first macOS Sierra, and then macOS High Sierra. The firmware upgrade in essence turned my 2009 Mac Pro into a 2010 Mac Pro. With that firmware upgrade, other benefits also manifested. So with the OS smack dab in the modern age, I was set to look at the hardware.

You suddenly had to have a very good use case, or someone else funding your budget, to make buying the 2019 Mac Pro the right choice. It still was for many people, as you can't postpone your work while waiting for Apple to release a new model, but sales surely must have dropped.

Upgrading the memory to your Apple Mac Pro 2010 5,1 is the quickest and least expensive way to improve the life of your computer in a matter of minutes. Installing the highest capacity memory modules in each memory socket will give you optimal speed improvements.

Apple Mac Pro 2010 5,1 supports a maximum of eight DIMM slots. Optimize your Apple Mac Pro 2010 5,1 and make it work for you in the most powerful way by upgrading with high quality memory! Find the best RAM deal for your Apple Mac Pro 5,1 by choosing your desired RAM size from the list below.

But when I try to run Mac Pro 2009-2010 Firmware Tool, it says it needs to be updated, and the icon has a white circle/slash on it. This typically happens on 10.15 with 32-bit apps, which are no longer supported.

One thing to take into consideration is that the SAS card is capable of utilising a x8 PCI slot. The slots in a 2010 Mac Pro are preconfigured so that the bottom two are x16 and the top two are x4. With my Nvidia Quadro 4000 GPU using the bottom slot the obvious choice for the new card was the next slot up. The card would still work if connected to a x4 slot but performance would be effected to some degree.

As you can see in the images above the card is locked into place by the bolt on locking place as well as a sliding bar which on the 2010 Mac Pro is locked and unlocked by pressing a small button on the fan assembly and sliding the assembly backwards and forwards. Next job is connecting a pair of miniSAS cables to the back of the card. The cables and connectors are large and very solid, they slide into the cards and fasten with a press button release mechanism. I numbered my cables and the Mac so that if I have to remove the cables at any point I could make sure to return them to the same position.

Hi..i have macpro 2010..my problem is the machine dont have the mini display port / thunderbolt..i want to use the led display which come with 3 output (power for macbook/usb/mini display. What i need to do in order for me to connecr this led display to my macbook.thanks

A quick aside for self-indulgence: I originally wrote in 2013 an upgrade guide for the Mac Pro, back in my earliest years of blogging (when this blog was hosted on Tumblr, mistaking Tumblr a utility for blogging). It was talky, anecdotal and amateurish, mostly upgrades I had done myself at various points, but also one of the first attempts at an all-encompassing guide for upgrading Mac Pros. I updated the blog post infrequently over the years, and it became a briar patch of disparate rambling, thorned with tangents and asides. I felt it reflected poorly as I've become a marginally better writer... at least that of an HS sophomore. I decided to clean up, update, and rework my blog post, but it became very apparent I should start from anew as I was already committing a wholesale field burn. The result is this guide: a roadmap to upgrades with all the relevant info and primary sources (and many words and a bit of ego-death for the sake of continuity).

Everymac has a good rundown of the minor differences of the 2012 vs. 2010 Mac Pros. The short answer is there is no real difference beyond the CPU/RAM/GPU configurations Apple offered and the manufacturing date. Unlike the Mac Pro 4,1s, every piece of hardware found in a 5,1 regardless of year, is interchangeable. Whereas the 4,1 and 5,1 share most of the most components, with exceptions for the backplane and CPU tray. Apple identifies both 2010 and 2012 models as the Mac Pro 5,1.

Due to the lack of any meaningful differences, this guide (and the community at large) treat the Mac Pro 2010 and 2012 as one-in-the-same. I owned both a 2010 and a 2012 and the only difference was in the "About this computer" from all my observations.

For whatever reason, there's an incorrect belief that modern GPUs require the bandwidth of a 16x PCIe 3.0 slot or would greatly benefit by using PCIe 4.0. This myth is persistent and wide, despite a lot of information that clearly demonstrates otherwise. When benchmarked in the real-world using an 8x vs. 16x PCIe 3.0 slot, the impact is minimal, pugetsystems.com performed this very test, and it comes out to be roughly 3%-4% impact. An 8x PCIe 3.0 slot has the same bandwidth as a 16x PCIe 2.0 slot. In gaming, this tends to be even lower. See this youtube vid comparing 16 4.0 vs. 3.0 vs. 2.0 and PCIe 4.0 vs. PCIe 3.0 GPU Benchmark Feat. GeForce RTX 3080 FE, which shows the impact of sticking the RTX 3080 in a 16 PCIe 4.0, 16x PCIe 3.0, and 8x PCIe 3.0 slots. The story is always the same: GPUs are not very bandwidth-intensive. Another common misconception is the Mac Pro's CPUs/bus isn't fast enough to benefit from a high-end GPU, which is patently false. Notably, when it comes to graphics performance, the Mac Pro 2010/2012 remains a performance monster, in most tests besting the iMac Pro running a VII. It may not be as fast as a modern gaming PC running a VII, but depending on the tasks (especially GPU compute), it'll be only 1%-4% slower. More interestingly, when an AMD Radeon 5700 XT was tested in PCIe 2.0 vs. 3.0 vs. 4.0, TechPowerup, after many tests, found a 2% average performance difference between PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 4.0. DigitalCitizen found similar results by comparing PCIe 3.0 to 4.0. GPUs are not nearly as bandwidth-intensive as most people assume (other hardware like SSDs can easily saturate a PCIe bus). I'll give another example, if "bottlenecking" existed in a sense most people visualize it, performance would be capped by bandwidth. Thunderbolt 3, which is also even more bandwidth constricted than a PCIe 2.0 16x slot, still finds improvements running a Radeon VII in a Thunderbolt 3 case over less powerful GPUs, including an iMac's own internal AMD Vega 64. The performance is more realized, though, when adequate bandwidth is available as opposed to a brick wall limitation. Also, in gaming, at high resolutions, the Mac Pro will be nearly as fast as a modern PC. At lower resolutions where the GPU can achieve extreme framerates, the number of calculations per second increases for the CPU to process, as data needs to be calculated per frame. 240 FPS means the CPU has more data to process per second than if a game was running at 60 FPS, regardless of the resolution. At higher resolutions, the frame rate goes down as the GPU becomes the limiter. The Mac Pro makes a fine entry-level 4k gaming machine if one desires to invest in a Vega series GPU or better and is willing to boot Windows 10. 2ff7e9595c
