I'm not gaming so I'll probably go with the 5770, dead cheap on eBay (UK). Man, ob man, that one costed like a car when it came out! :-P Some are really old and still works! PowerMac 8600AV with 128 RAM. Right? I love my MacPro! This machine serves me the longest and the best of all power machines from Apple that I own or owned in last 20-25 years. After all, we are talking about machines that are almost for museum. One should be honest and say where's the limit. , starting with 2010 models and onwards it's possible to bump it up for Mojave but hey. Since you have two 6-cores, I'm gonna assume you did the netkas firmware tweak, so that should take care of that.

Note that none of these cards support Mojave or later.Īpple says a few GPU's are compatible with Mojave, but you'd need a 2010-2012 Mac Pro. There are a few officially supported options for upgrades: Thou it's obsolete technology it works like a charm. If you're in the States it's fairly easy. Try to get a video card from respected vendor thou. You can get pretty amazing card of that age for peanuts. How much RAM and other specs are up for your consideration. Go to owc ( or any similar site) and look for any PCIe slot cards availability for replacement.

It ia a museum piece but I don't do video or graphic editing on this one so it's good enough. It was a default one which I replaced some years ago with ATI Radeon 2600 XT 256 MB. So, let me tell you what I got at the moment in my prethistoric early 2009 (or late 2008, dual machine). Note: 6 years old iMac has no business to install Mojave.I went to the site and via My Upgrades > Mac model > Video upgrades - the result came back with no cards, just cables etc. You still can install windows with Parallel if required. It could be that particular model hardware no longer supported it. I am pretty sure none of the "many people you know who have Macs" have that particular model with that particular HDD. So not exactly as you claimed that it happened on most Macs. I am pretty sure this only happen on 2012 27" iMac model with 3TB hard drive installed and an existing Boot Camp partition. This alert appears only on 27-inch iMacs from late 2012 with 3TB hard drives installed and an existing Boot Camp partition. Not very Apple-like as far as non-solutions go. pretty bad. I know of too many people who have Macs because they took a chance, but having Windows available to use was what won them over.
