The obligatory corona update

3/23/2020

So, not much needs to be said about this. We are based in LA and have had issues getting some of our supplies in typical time. We are a small company with few employees and have released one who had a lengthy commute. Orders are delayed but still shipping. Please be patient, we are all in this together.

Can you flash a XFX 480 to have startup screens on a 5,1 Mac Pro?

Yes, we did it before.

I appreciate your update in the middle of the situation. It is good to know that you have enough supply as of the moment. We are restricted to go out, especially if we will not do something outside. I guess, this is fro the safety everyone and we are al encouraged to function while we are inside our houses. I guess, we can still be productive only if we want to. Let’s have the eagerness to do something about it.

Glad you're keeping on! I've a question Re: your flashing service - the page lists the MSI RX580 8gb - do I need to be particular about wether that includes any versions like an Armor or an Armor mk2, or is it a specific model?

Thanks!

We can do every RX580 model now.

Hi! I ponied up and ordered a Vega card from this site a week ago, seeing that there were only a couple left in stock , thinking that would be faster than a roundtrip flashing service - Did I inadvertently order from the European office? I'm only two states of from California (in NM) so I was hoping to get a shipment notice by now.

I emailed but no reply - this seems to be the only place with activity - so I'm just checking in!
Thanks!

Sweet - I guess I’m just trying to figure out my order status. I did not get a reply to my email - at the time the site said there were 3 in stock, so I was assuming the item would go out in a reasonable amount of time (all quarantine considered, of course!) - but perhaps there was site error and it wasn’t really in stock? In which case I’d maybe need to maybe cancel the order. (which is totally, ok - I understand everything’s crazy - I just would like a status update or reply!). Not being grumpy, I promise! 🤘🏻🤓👍🏻 Thanks again!

Hello, I ordered (order number 2127321311) and received an 8GB RX580 a few weeks ago, but it did not come with a DVI port. Can I please exchange it for one with a DVI port? I still use a 30" cinema display.

I have tried to email you three times since April 6th, but did not receive a response.

Thanks!

hi i live in LA and would like to get a titan x flashed and buy the power cables.. could I drop off/pickup? thanks

Joe

4/23/2020 06:20:32 am

I also live close to LA, can I stop by with a RX 5700 XT for flashing service? Do you offer this? I do not see any spots to order, is it because its so new?

Joe

Its okay, no need to reply. I found that OpenCore was able to get my boot screen working on my 5,1 Mac Pro.

I updated my Macpro 3,1 withdosdude to run Catalina 10.15.4 with 16 gig ram

I presently have two Apple Cinema HD displays (2560 x 1600 pixel) and would like 4K HDMI output and perhaps DisplayPort for a max of three or four monitors.

I plan to use it to edit FCP video and render Apple Motion graphics short form projects.

I am told that AMD seems to work better and I presume the more RAM for the GPU the better.

What Metal 2 graphics card do you recommend...any of them AMD?

MacVidCards Europe

4/26/2020 01:46:46 pm

We haven't tested AMD RX series on Mac Pro 3,1.

Best would be to get something from NVIDIA with Catalina and Metal support like GTX780 6 GB, GTX 780 Ti 3 GB or GTX Titan 6 GB. However there would be no boot screen via DisplayPort with 4K displays. Only via DVI or HDMI @ 30 Hz.

Is the Nvidia GTX 1070 8GB Metal and/or Mojave compatible? It's not in your Mojave section... I have a MacPro5,1 and am looking to finally upgrade macOS past Sierra to High Sierra -- and maybe Mojave (but I at least want the option if possible). Stay safe.

MacVidCards Europe

4/28/2020 09:59:31 am

Yes, it's Metal compatible but does not support anything higher than High Sierra.

If you need Mojave/Catalina support then buy Radeon RX460/RX480/RX580/RX Vega 56 or some older NVIDIA cards from 600/700 series except 750Ti.

For Catalina only you can get RX 5700/RX 5700 XT.

Jonathan

Thanks for your reply. I guess I'll have to wait for you to restock RX580s then, do you have an ETA on getting those back in?

I see that Amazon has a version of the RX580 Sapphire Pulse (link below). Should I assume that card will not have Apple boot screen? It is so hard to tell what's what with video cards -- which is why I like trusting in places like yours.

We have 2 pcs of MSI version in our European eBay store: https://www.ebay.com/usr/macvidcards-europe

Jonathan

5/4/2020 06:40:44 pm

I missed the boat with the European eBay store items... Any news on when you might get new RX580s in stock?

I'm hoping to get into GPU rendering in C4D and this card will be mostly for C4D, After Effects, and the rest of the Adobe Suite (I do a fair amount of Photoshop work too) on my old MacPro5,1.

By the way, you didn't mention the 560 in your list... does that work too?

I think it's worth holding out for one of the RX580 (8GB?) cards, right?

MacVidCards Europe

5/5/2020 03:38:29 am

We are waiting for brand new 3x RX580 Sapphire Pulse very soon. Probably next week.

Jonathan

5/5/2020 11:50:16 am

Oh great... Here's hoping I can grab one of those. Can you email me when they come in?

MacVidCards Europe

5/6/2020 03:18:32 pm

Sure, we will e-mail you when they are back.

RX580 now back in EU store !!!

Jonathan

5/18/2020 06:14:44 pm

Thanks for your reply... I got this email notification but not any others FWIW. I think, after going back and forth (and nearly buying the 580 from the EU store), I'm gonna buy your NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB… That will work in my MacPro5,1 and is Mojave compatible... And, I will have more GPU rendering options in C4D. I cannot upgrade to Catalina but I think this will stave off my old computer's obsolescence. Is the 780 metal-compatible too?

MacVidCards Europe

5/22/2020 03:49:39 am

Yes, GTX780 is Metal compatible and supports Mojave/Catalina as well.

Running 5,1 with High Sierra. I just got a couple 4K displays with DP and HDMI inputs. Seems My Macvidcards GTX 770 2 X DVI, 1 X DP, 1 X HDMI won't drive 4K. I can use HDMI 1080. Display port doesn't work at all. Which card would be a good way to drive 2 4K LG displays?

MacVidCards Europe

5/2/2020 05:16:33 am

GTX770 can drive 4K@60Hz just without boot screen, however you should be able to get 4K@30Hz via DVI or HDMI with boot screen.

If you do not plan to upgrade above High Sierra you can get any card from GTX900 or GTX1000 series.

If you plan to upgrade to Mojave/Catalina get something from Radeon RX series.

All these cards have boot screen on 4K displays @ 60 Hz.

HIya, I've been trying to reach out about flashing a GTX 650. Can you do that? I am in LA as well and can do (contact-less) drop off and pick up if possible!

cheers,

Lou

Anyone heard from the LA people? Seriously, I have sent so many emails. The card is not working correctly and I'd like some support please!

Anyone?
