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

When I switched to PC last summer, I sold my Sapphire Radeon Pulse 580 separately from my Mac Pro 5.1.  I put it up on eBay for 150 and it sold instantly.  It's definitely in demand.  Although the Vega is technically within spec, under real world conditions, it still may be a strain.  I had a more powerful nVidia card at one time that used to cause occasional shutdowns, even though it also was supposedly within spec.  It's possible the age of the power supply in a 10 year old Mac Pro came into play?

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.
