2 HD 5870s in 2010 MacPro

I'm looking for some info on a two 5870 crossfire set up. There is already one 5870 in my system. I'm thinking I'm going to by a auxiliary PSU to go into the empty drive bay(http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=56810 47&SRCCODE=GOOGLEBASE&cmmmco=VRqCjC7BBTkwCjCECjCE)
Does any one know how difficult this installation will be or if there is a superior option?
Thanks

since the Power supply is only 1000(987 watts)..
Actually, that's enough to power two large GPU -- my other computer is a PC with 1200W PSU and it runs three very power hungry nVidia GTX280 in SLI, plus four WD Velociraptor hard drives.
Besides the original poster said he was considering using a supplementary PSU, and I have one too. Rather than overstressing the PSU it appears lack of cable connectivity is the problem.
then again, I am ANTI-GAMING on a mac
So why did you bother posting in this thread? That's not very helpful. Plus, why should you care what other people do with their Mac Pro?
Answer
Apple has this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2838 which explains that Mac Pro (Original) and Mac Pro (8x) needed +Expansion Slot Utility+ to manage the PCIe lanes; but that Mac Pro (Early 2008) and Mac Pro (Early 2009) the slots are permanently set where Slots 1 and 2 are both x16 revision 2.0 slots.
Unfortunately this support document doesn't cover Mac Pro (Mid 2010) but I imagine it will be the same, which is good news as it means both PCIe x16 should remain at x16 if both slots are filled (and not drop to x8 as they did in old hardware).

  • Off Topic: Anyone with 2010 MacPro driving 3 monitors?

    I'm having a heck of a time with 3 monitors on a 2010 MacPro/ATI 5870. They work, but display preferences will not remain set if system sleeps past the screen saver. Wondering if other 2010 MP owners with 3 monitors are seeing the same thing.
    Posted here becuase this place will most likely have 3 monitor users, most other forums only have users with dual monitors at best.
    Sorry, I know it's not Photoshop related.

    Scott,
    I run a Mac pro 2008 with two matching OEM Apple ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
    a 30" ACD, 24" NEC, 20" Sony
    Like you I had the crashing problems under 10.5 (including graphic anomalies)
    and font related crashes 10.6-10.6.4
    10.6.5 has brought the crashing way down for me
    BUT I'm wondering if you get blurry-pixelated icons on your three-screen setups?
    These occur in the dock, on the desktop and in folders...
    PS:
    I don't have any sleep issues under 10.6.5 (except one time just after I updated, Ps was a rock and Finder was a total flake with both side monitors stuck on iTunes album art screen saver).
    I let my Mac Pro deep sleep after an hour (so I sleep it over night and several times a day).

  • Trying to figure out why is there a keystroke delay many times in Pages and Numbers? I'm on a 2010 macPro running Lion

    Trying to figure out why is there a keystroke delay many times in Pages and Numbers? I'm on a 2010 macPro running Lion

    I had a similar problem when working on a long Pages doc (40,000 words).The glitch only occurred on this one Pages file and affected no other applications. I fixed it by duplicating the file, trashing the original and working on the new document. I have no idea of the cause of the problem.

  • HT4279 Will the 5870 "mid 2010" upgrade work on a mid 2012 MacPro?

    I purchased a 12core 2012 macpro with a 5770 graphics card. Now I want to upgrade to a 5870 card.. The 5870 on Apple.com and OWC show it as an "mid 2012 upgrade". I want to make sure that the card will still work for the 2012 model. I don't see why not, but I want to make sure. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance

    The 5x70s work in ALL Mac Pro models w/ 10.6.5 or later.
    The comments section on product page of Apple Store is full of as are the 1000+ threads and comments here, so not hard to find.
    That said $449 is killing it when better cards like GTX 670s are sometimes more useful.

  • 2009 & 2010 MacPro upgrading for today´s Video-editing (Premiere Pro CS6 & After Effects)

    I have now two  MacPro´s: MacPro4,1 (Early 2009/Nehalem) and MacPro5,1 (Early 2010/Nehalem) and I was wondering how to get the best of them for video-editing with Premiere Pro and After Effects (CS6 or later CC) for todays standards.
    The specs of the machines:
    MacPro5,1
    Early 2010 Nehalem
    (http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-quad-core-2.8-mid-2010-nehalem -specs.html)
    2.8GHz     Quad-core Xeon W3530 (256k level 2 cache, 8 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache)
    32GB RAM "1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM" (PC3-8500) modules (4 x 8GB)
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory is installed in a double-wide, 16-lane PCI Express 2.0 graphics slot.
    single 1 TB (7200 RPM, 32 MB cache) Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive.
    + I have added a 480GB SSD-drive via PCIe (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/PCIe/OWC/Mercury_Accelsior/RAID )
    The 480GB PCIe SSD-drive is now the boot-drive and gets writes over 500MB/s and reads over 600MB/s testing with "BlackMagic Speed Test"-application. The 480GB SSD-drive that is connected via PCIe-card has also two eSATA ports on it. How could I take advantage of them? Is this just a bottleneck, what would you think. Would I get the same results if I had just Samsung 840 SSD installed with adapter-device to the internal drive bay 2.5" SATAII connections?
    What about the graphic card?
    What would you suggest to do for the setup to maximize it´s potential (For now it´s working fine)? Would it be good idea ome 7200rpm hard-drives for media and cache storage or do I need that or can I see significant improvements over it since there is still 3 3,5" internal hard drive bays with SATA II connections (and the two eSATA ports).
    MacPro4,1
    (Early 2009/ Nehalem)
    (http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-eight-core-2.66-early-2009-neh alem-specs.html)
    - 8-cores: powered by two2.66 GHz Quad Core 45-nm Xeon X5550 (Nehalem) processors with a dedicated 256k of level 2 cache for each core and 8 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cacheper processor.
    - 34GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM
    -NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512 MB of GDDR3
    A lot like the MacPro5,1 but does have a bit different graphic cards and more memory and cores.
    Any ideas?

    First and foremost: keep an eye on that 480G PCI-E SSD that you dumped a lot of money into.  Those OWC drives aren't known for their robustness or reliability (OWC folks will argue with that statement.  Ignore them).  Since OS and apps are easy to re-install, it may not be a big deal.  But don't put any of your projects on it, even though it's a fairly quick device.
    Second, start adding SATA drives to the other 3 bays.  Fill them up with the biggest drives you feel comfortable buying.  Make one of them a 10k RPM drive for your scratch space.  The others can be 7200RPM drives; since you're limited to SATA2, there's not much use in trying to crank serious disk bandwidth through the system.
    Video cards.  Get rid of those OEM garbage cards.  Drop them into a chipper/shredder, in fact.  Contact this guy about getting flashed nVidia cards that will work in both Macs, and will help with Pr and Ae.  Dave can sell you a flashed GTX780 that will boot (with grey Apple screen) and run in the Mac just fine.  And it'll outperform anything Apple has ever sold for those Mac Pros.

  • Kernel panics in mid 2010 macpro ( MacPro5,1) - Help please

    Well I haven't had a kernel panic in any of my Mac for some years, so I was quite suprised to have 2 of these in my Macpro recently.
    So I really could use - please -  some expert advice here.
    Running OS X 10.6.8
    I have:
    1) Verified the boot disk using Disk Utility, no repairs needed.
    2) Repaired Disk permissions using Disk Utility, there were quite alot that needed repairing.
    3) Checked and verified all preference files on the boot volume.
    4) Not added any new hardware or software recently, other than Apple's software update.
    Thanks in advance,
    -Robert

  • It is NVIDIA 4800 for MAC Compatible with a Mid 2010 MACPRO,... 5,1

    I would like to know if my MACPRO Mid 2010 (5,1) it is compatible with NVIDIA FX 4800 for mac or NVIDIA 4000
    thank you

    Apple no longer lists it, Nvidia web site though:
    Go to • About This Mac
    Click on the • More Info button
    Select • Hardware
    The model identifier should be MacPro3,1 or MacPro4,1 (2008 or 2009) or later
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_4800_for_mac_us.html
    And if you are going to spend say $798 for Q4000 (Amazon, Mac Pro version) maybe wait and see but 10.7.4 support for a GTX 570 2.5GB might do a better job even where Quadro use to (due to drivers, not hardware itsself)

  • Capture Problems with DV using CS5 Prem on 2010 MacPro

    Hi
    I have the following
    - 2010 Mac
    - dual 6 core cpu model
    - 48G
    - 2 x Cav black 2tb drives in stripe for scratch and a SSD for boot
    - 5870 primary card and gt120 as a secondary
    I am trying to import a bunch of old DV tapes on a Panasonic NV-MX300 camera via Firewire (i do have a 400 to 800 firewire converter). Although there isnt a definition for this camera in the CS5 config it looks to pick up the essence ie standard dv etc.
    When I import a tape it starts up ok but being an older unit et al playback glitches every now and then (slight pixelation etc). The timecode looks to be intact from start to finish. The problem is when premier encounters a slight glitch it stops the capture.....so I have to then kick off recording for a new clip where it left off etc etc etc. I have deselected things like stopping on dropped frame etc.
    Now if I use iMovie to do the import it goes through no problems even with the same glitches being there.
    Is there a setting Im missing, is it CS5 being overly sensitive?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jim

    Hi Jim, frustrating is the right word. Currently I've reverted to 
    capturing on our old Canopus card and then bringing the AVI file into 
    CS5. Technology...
    tx for your response - I will let you know if I get an answer. 
    regards, h

  • SSHD on 2010 MacPro

    Using MacPro 2010, Mavericks up to date, 27" Apple screen
    Three weeks ago, interested by the performances of Seagate Desktop SSHD 2000GB, I installed one of them in place of 2TB "classic" HD,
    Immediately, performaces of the Mac where much better, but, since about 2 weeks, progressively, I've been facing to several little dysfunctions: softwares, cameras, mails, impossibility to shutdown Mac, ..... it was really a mess to work with it !
    After several tests, I came back this morning to my 2TB prévious HD and everythings went allright immediately !
    For the time being, I'm unable to allocate the problems to the Mac system, or Seagate SSHD, or ........
    So I'm interested to know if some other people have got the same problems ?
    Effectiveley, it should be a contextual problem with my materials (Hards and softs)
    Or simply a defective disk...
    Thanks !

    Wading through this review of your drive, performance on things like booting should be noticeably improved and some other things should be snappy too, which is what you've found. However, given the very small SS portion of the drive, it just can't compete with a true SSD in terms of overall speed. But it should continue to work, albeit like a regular HD, which it sounds like it's not doing.
    Unless you've installed something in those 2 weeks which is not on your HD that could be causing the problems, I'd suggest checking the SMART status in Disk Utility to see if it's failing. Even if it's not, see if Seagate will honor its warranty and provide a replacement. Just be sure to wipe it clean first.
    But if you're looking for reliably improved performance, The hatter's advice will get you there.

  • OSX Mountain Lion fails to install on 2009/2010 MacPro

    I have a Dual Xeon dual cores MACPro and just got the new OS however it fails to install on the MACPro with the error message  "Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer"
    My current OS is 10.7.4, does anyone have any imput on this issue has this been seen by anyone else?
    Any help would be apreciated.

    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    I'm guessing that you have a Mac Pro 1,1 or 2,1 model from 2006/7. They cannot run Mountain Lion.

  • Crossfire 2 5870s or 1 6970 for BC gaming?

    I have a 2010 6 core Mac Pro. I have 2 SSD's (one for win 7 and one for Mac OSX) and two HDD's backing up each OS. I have 12 GB ram (3x4) and game a lot in boot camp. I have a single 27" LEP Apple display running 2560 X 1440.
    Im hearing different idea's floating around about Apple possibly cutting off the prodution of any more future Mac Pro's hence any more updated Graphics cards, and others that really dont make a difference. I know we dont comment to rumors here.
    I AM going to upgrade my cards anyway and was wanting to see if anyone had any idea's or opinions as to these idea's.
    A) get another 5870 (I already have one in here) and attempt to crossfite them to run games in bootcamp.
    B) get an additoional 6970 JUST for windows and run that card only in windows (obviosly) so that I can puch all my resolution to the max on my 27" Apple display 2560 X 1440.
    I undersond both have pros and cons. Any idea's??
    Thanks..

    A) get another 5870 (I already have one in here) and attempt to crossfite them to run games in bootcamp.
    Be aware that 5870s require two power adaptors and that's all the 2010 mac pro's have.  So if you already have a 5870 or 5770 you will have to come up with some additional (external) PSU.

  • Pairing two different ATI RADEONS with crossfire

    Hello.
    I have replaced ATI Radeon 3870 HD graphic card with ATI radeon 5770 in my mac Pro (3,1 early 2008) recently.
    Both cards are OK, and since they both have crossfire interface in it - I wonder if I could pair them to work together?
    And second qeustion is: If I can pair them, how do I connect crossfire?
    There are two 'pin'-connectors on each card, is there any difference which to use?
    And Is there any recomended order of placing cards (general to the lower slot, additional to the upper one or somewhat else?)

  • Benifits of crossfire 2 6970's ???

    I have a MSI 6970 Twin Frozr III and I'm getting under 30 fps with eyefinity and BF3. I have room for and another 16X slot on my Sabretooth X58 Mobo for a second card. But the cost of adding and the return in fps, is it worth it? Also my power supply is 850W but I don't have the extra PCIe outputs on it so that would need upgraded also. My settings in the BF3 game are medium and even boosting the GPU I can't get higher fps and smoother gameplay without causing the GPU to crash. I thought this was one card that could be pushed pretty hard but appearently that was bullsht. It doesn't do much better than my HIS 5850. I'm not worried about spending the money because what I really want is a great gaming experience and since games coming out are more demanding then the extra expense might be worth it in the long run. But is the power I get from adding a second GPU worth it?

    A) get another 5870 (I already have one in here) and attempt to crossfite them to run games in bootcamp.

  • Windows 7 startup time taking an eternity on MacPro 2010

    Hi All,
    I have a MacPro 2010 with the following config:
    - 2 x 6 core 2.97Ghz processors
    - 6GB RAM going to 24 GB RAM as soon as I get a chance to install it
    - 1 SSD for OSX boot, 1 1TB for Windows 7 only, 2 x 2TB for striped raid (OSX use)
    - ATI 5870 (centre screen) and a GT120 (left and right screens)
    I went through the motions of starting bootcamp assistant, selecting the drive and then inserting the windows media and then waited for the windows install gui to start. This took a long time 1hr+. I just went and did something else so I didnt think about it much. Once Windows installed and the machine rebooted it took a while for the little windows logo animation above "starting windows" to come up eg 5 minutes. Again did something else and didnt think much of it. Now once windows was started (surprised to see all three monitors come up with 2 different video cards...ATI and NVIDIA, bonus!) it worked ok and sooner or later got a blue screen of death. The machine reboots and I get to bootup options ie the your machine crashed do you want safe mode, etc, or in 30 seconds the default will be started...blah blah.....now the machine has my full attention and I am looking at how long things take to start. The 30 second countdown on the boot options screen took about 16 minutes to get to zero ie every second took ~30 seconds to decrease on the display. So once windows (I assume around the point where the windows logo does its thing over the "starting windows" bit) takes over in its boot sequence things are quicker but during initial boot there is a massive lag somewhere. Is this normal for 2010 macpro and Win7?
    Once in Win7 the Win Exp Index = 7.8 for everything bar disk which is 5.9 and thats with a raw install etc etc. So ok.
    Thanks
    Jim

    Stefan,
    So to set the scene, my MacPro is situated about 4-5 meters from my sitting position. Therefore I have 7mtr monitor cables and some USB devices in front of me..... anyway you get the picture Im sure.
    What was causing it were two generic USB extender cables (they have a box with circuitry on the end that boosts the signal for longer USB runs). They were giving me problems with the devices I tried to use (unreliable) so I simply stopped using them with USB devices a while back but never unplugged them from the Mac. I did however add another brand extender cable and used it without issue for many years. When I put the new mac in I simply reconnected everything not giving it any thought.
    So anyway, I have removed the two culprits from the mac left the better extender cable (plus other USB devices) there and its all fixed. For the record I did add them back on just to be sure and it is definitely them.
    I must admit I still cant figure out why one of those cables would slow a boot option page counter by 30 times, a power drain issue maybe?????
