I am currently in High Sierra, and 5700XT won't work below Catalina as far as I understand. Krishna Pada wrote:Thank you for the help. Good to hear that 10GbE Ethernet and the wifi coming back this way.

At the same time, 5700XT seems a good option as this does not require any outside power source.Ĭan I migrate with MA from High Sierra to Catalina directly without the need to go to Mojave? To do that I'll probably need the original Mac Pro card 5870, right? Therefore, concerns about the slow PCIe 2.0 connection of the 5700 XT in the 2010 Mac Pro isn't too much of an issue.ĮDIT: A PCIe 2.0 isn't a bottleneck compared to an eGPU connection over Thunderbolt-3, so there really shouldn't to much concern here in my 4k world of editing. That comes within 7-percent to the 60954 OpenCL shown by a Late 2019 MacBook Pro with the 8GB 5700XT upgrade. (.until Big Sur?)ģ- The Geekbench 5 Compute benchmark for the Radeon 5700 XT is 44940 in Metal and 56695 in OpenCL. Now the Aquantia-based card that I ordered is unnecessary.

I'll reserve judgement until I replace the cache/stills 6Gbps SATA SSD drive with something faster.ġ- The Catalina macOS discovered the native WiFi of the 2010 Mac Pro and it works fine.Ģ- When I used the Migration Assistant (MA) to move my apps from High Sierra to Catalina, the Solarflare 10GbE Ethernet came alive, even though I was unable to install it by conventional means before MA. Everything seems well-behaved, although it's somewhat pokey compared to the performance of the WinX machine from which I swapped the Radeon 5700XT. I edited a little of a project (two UHD H.264 100Mbps from Panasonic FZ1000/FZ2500) and ran a couple of exports and Geekbench 5 tests. So far, today has been a good day of testing: Just asking, how's 5700XT's performance in Resolve? It now has a normal (un-flashed) Radeon 5700 XT. It had been at High Sierra with a flashed Nvidia GTX 1070. MediaGary wrote:Just two days ago, I was able to get Catalina working in my 12-core 2010 Mac Pro. So basically, I would be looking for a proper GPU and the 5.1 goes to 7.1 - well almost. This was impossible even a year ago, now it's possible. I know, I can replace the USB3 card with a Titan Ridge TB3 that would make my cMP run even with Thunderbolt. That was the beauty of cMP, they were upgradable. That would make my cMP run for another four years. The cMP still has some juice left in it, and with a proper AMD GPU, it can run Catalina fine. So far I am running fine with 16.2.4, 64 GB Ram, Internal Raid, USB 3 card and Titan X. In particular, if you also need to work with H.264/265. We went that route about 3 years ago and two such 5,1 machines with maxed out XEON and Titan-X served us well for R3D files, but these days its time to move on.Įven a well equipped non-Pro iMac might leave that old workhorse in the dust.

I'll update my signature hardware list once it's all working. Also make sure you do at least a pro-forma Mojave installation so you accomplish the firmware update from 00 to 144.0.0.0.0.
I also was not able to get the Solarflare 10GbE Ethernet card that had worked fine in High Sierra to work at all in Catalina, so I ordered an Aquantia AQC107-based card. The TDP of the 5700 XT is 225-watts, and therefore presents no special challenges to the factory power capabilities of the 5,1 Mac Pro.
The PowerColor 5700 XT version that I have uses a 6-pin and an 8-pin power connector, so you'll need mini-PCIe power cables of each. Now that I have a separate Win10 machine, I *hope* that I can get along without using the option key to go between OS boots simply sliding in the boot SSD that I want. I 'needed' the flashed video card when I routinely went back-and-forth between Win10 and macOS. Just two days ago, I was able to get Catalina working in my 12-core 2010 Mac Pro.
