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

Thanks for the info I've ordered one of those.  I was able to confirm on the MacProUpgrade FB group that the Sapphire Pulse requires 225 watts so that will work with 75 from the PCIe slot and 75 Watts from each of the 6 Pin mini connectors on the mother board.  I should be good to limp along for a while longer.

Had to use a Y adapter.  Dual 6 pin to one 8 pin on the card.

Did you use anything other than the standard PCIe power and the two 6 Pin mini connectors on the mother board to power this GPU?

I kind of got sick of all the hoops to jump through to get an old school MacPro to work in 2021 and bought a PC.  Couldn’t be happier.   Way cheaper than a new MacPro.

I was going to bitch about the OWC price tag, then I saw the Amazon price... Damn mining!

It would work for what you want it to do. The price is just ridiculous for the power of this card - and its original retail price.

And if you really miss boot screen, google OpenCore MacPro. I've had this on mine for a while and it brings the boot screen back, and also hardware acceleration with the modern Radeon cards.
