Re: [Avid-L2] Where is my dream GPU???

At OWC I find:

Radeon Pro 580X with 8GB of GDDR5 memory


How do the OWC GPUs differ  between the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 and the Radeon RX 580?  Are these just different manufactures of GPUs with the same chip set?  Also how do they differ from the one that comes stock with the New Mac Pro?

If down the line I purchased a New Mac Pro could the OWC cards work with it?  Would there be any benefit to adding one of the OWC cards to a New Mac Pro that comes with a more powerful GPU?  With my mid 2012 I've been told that with multiple GPUs the computer will only use the Vram amount of the GPU with the least amount of Vram.  Is there something like that in the New Mac Pro architecture?

I'm going to ask OWC if I would get a boot screen on my mid 2012 Mac Pro and it that's a difference in the two cards they offer.

This whole mining thing is a shame as this GPU was pretty affordable. It's not a power house like your Titan but it started at a good price. Beware as all RX580 don't all have the same form factor and some are covering the Pcie slot above the GPU. The Sapphire is a tight fit but you can still have a card in pcie slot 2 - smaller the better  

you can look at the Vega 56 as an alternative, it's more powerful than the RX580 and still within the power specs of the Mac Pro. Avoid the 64 as it's too hungry.

Now the Radeon VII is an even better option but it's now under the miner's radar so prices are sky rocketing.
