Am I the oddball Mac Pro buyer?

I ordered a Mac Pro not for professional applications not for video editing but for games.
I love gaming on a mac. I think its fun to head to a lan party and bring along my mac. Right now I have a MacBook Pro I got in Feb (replaced my PowerBook G4)
What's fun for me is all my friends and a lot of their friends play WoW. So we try once a month to all get together at one of our places and do a big event of some kind, finishing some big quest or some pvp event or something. The looks I always get when I pull out my MacBook Pro are just great. Most of the people there have laptops with the intel integrated graphics or the ati x200 intergrated. They start off with "Macs suck at gaming" then they come by and look at WoW running silky smooth at 1440x 900 their jaws just drop.
Now when my Mac Pro gets here (delayed by ordering the X1900XT) and we do some at my house they are gonna really go wild on how some of these games look and play. I ordered it with the 2.66GHz CPUs, a 500Gb hard drive, 2Gb of RAM, the X1900XT and the 20" Cinema Display. Our other games we play a bit will be nice too. Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake 4, a few others.
Yes I think I probably am the odd-ball Mac Pro buyer. I like Mac Gaming.

The only area where PC's still win though is video and sound card options
PC's still do have the video advantage because of the lack of SLI or Crossfire support on the MacTels, but that's a Xeon processor limitation.
Mac's pass through 5.1 surround sound through the digital optical port to a surround sound reciever capable of decoding the formats. It's a MUCH superior method than the crappie analog outputs done by sound cards which actually use the processors to decode.
However if one has one of those cheap "5.1 computer speaker" that's commonly seen on PC's, M-Audio has a decoder PCI card, but I don't think there's a PCI-Express option quite yet.
Mac's audio is clearly superior, provided the optical port is used to a quality receiver and speakers. Like a home theater system like mine.
Analog, even from a iPod, just plain s*cks in comparison.
Since one can get a 5.1 Harmon Kardon reciever for about $600 online, with their matching HKS-14's for a total of 800 watts for another $400. Getting quality sound for only a few hundred dollars more than a "5.1 computer speaker" and a sound card combination is a worthwhile option, since one can hook just about anything else to the reciver. FM/AM, DVD, Coax, TV, etc. etc. Plus it lasts considerably longer, 10-15 years with proper care.
Also when one upgrades a computer, it's a simple matter to hook up the digital optical to the new machine.
With sound cards there is usually a internal upgrade that will make the cards obsolete, requiring a new purchase. Plus the cheap computer speakers blow out fast.
So it might cost less, but the turnover rate is higher so one is paying more in the long run. But that's the life of PC's.

  • Performance with the new Mac Pros?

    I sold my old Mac Pro (first generation) a few months ago in anticipation of the new line-up. In the meantime, I purchased a i7 iMac and 12GB of RAM. This machine is faster than my old Mac for most Aperture operations (except disk-intensive stuff that I only do occasionally).
    I am ready to purchase a "real" Mac, but I'm hesitating because the improvements just don't seem that great. I have two questions:
    1. Has anyone evaluated qualitative performance with the new ATI 5870 or 5770? Long ago, Aperture seemed pretty much GPU-constrained. I'm confused about whether that's the case anymore.
    2. Has anyone evaluated any of the new Mac Pro chips for general day-to-day use? I'm interested in processing through my images as quickly as possible, so the actual latency to demosaic and render from the raw originals (Canon 1-series) is the most important metric. The second thing is having reasonable performance for multiple brushed-in effect bricks.
    I'm mostly curious if anyone has any experience to point to whether it's worth it -- disregarding the other advantages like expandability and nicer (matte) displays.
    Thanks.
    Ben

    Thanks for writing. Please don't mind if I pick apart your statements.
    "For an extra $200 the 5870 is a no brainer." I agree on a pure cost basis that it's not a hard decision. But I have a very quiet environment, and I understand this card can make a lot of noise. To pay money, end up with a louder machine, and on top of that realize no significant benefit would be a minor disaster.
    So, the more interesting question is: has anyone actually used the 5870 and can compare it to previous cards? A 16-bit 60 megapixel image won't require even .5GB of VRAM if fully tiled into it, for example, so I have no ability, a priori, to prove to myself that it will matter. I guess I'm really hoping for real-world data. Perhaps you speak from this experience, Matthew? (I can't tell.)
    Background work and exporting are helpful, but not as critical for my primary daily use. I know the CPU is also used for demosaicing or at least some subset of the render pipeline, because I have two computers that demonstrate vastly different render-from-raw response times with the same graphics card. Indeed, it is this lag that would be the most valuable of all for me to reduce. I want to be able to flip through a large shoot and see each image at 100% as instantaneously as possible. On my 2.8 i7 that process takes about 1 second on average (when Aperture doesn't get confused and mysteriously stop rendering 100% images).

  • How can I move my three SATA HDDs to the new Mac Pro without backing up?

    Hello,
    I am doing initial shopping for the new Mac Pro but have come to the frustrating realization that I cannot move my HDDs to the new computer for free. Sure, I can migrate my OS drive to the new one, but my other three disks inside my 2007 Mac Pro are in a pickle. I want an economically viable method of getting those three drives to the new Mac without backing them up, formatting or something like that. Also, I would prefer a transfer method that will rival the speed of it being internal. I don't think USB 3.0 can do this, but Thunderbolt 2 can? Everything I've seen online has been outrageiously expensive or requires me to reformat (RAID).
    What I'm looking for:
    Connect three or more HDDs of various capacities to new Mac Pro
    Have the transfer speeds rival or exceed that of my current grandpa computer (Mac Pro 1,1)
    Have it not be incredibly expensive (anything over $300 is ridiculous)
    Have it be no more than two devices, one prefered unless they are individual enclosures that can either daisy chain and/or are inexpensive.
    Safe for my drives.

    >  a 3 TB, a 1.5 TB and a 500 GB.
    Most 3TB drives are going to be "green"
    The 1.5TB may or may not
    The 500GB is likely old, due for retirement if not worse.
    A pair of two drives of 2TB likely would be enough for now and plenty of dual drive USB3 cases.
    For a single drive and Thunderbolt docking adapter for using one drive at a time:

    Under $300 case

    Or this one is fine and USB3
    http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-External-Enclosure-3-5-Inch-SAT3520U3SR/dp/B0 09C5VSFU/
    NO backup? You DO have some backups I hope, or you are on thin ice or walking tight rope.

  • How can i use 3(or more) hdmi monitors with the new Mac Pro(2013)?

    I've been looking around, trying to find a solution to this problem.
    I saw at one place that an active thunderbold -> DVI will work with the older mac pro model.
    Will this work with the new one as well?
    Will i be able to connect 3 screens if i use 2 passive thunderbold->hdmi and one
    active thunderbold->dvi and then a dvi->hdmi?

    If you need to buy Apple's $99 Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapters you may find you need to return and replace the adapter/s till you find one that works.
    Recently, after my nMP arrived I bought two adapters. It took 3 trips to the Apple store to find a second one that worked properly. This also happened a few months ago when I was buying those adapters.
    You should be aware that you'll also need the DVI cable that has the full set of pins, not the one with the row in the middle missing.
    If you check on the Apple customer reviews in the online store you'lll find the issues and possible solutions to this situation.
    Eventually I returned the second adapter when I found a way to get 2560 x 1600 through the HDMI port. I now have two 30" monitors that display 2560 x 1600.

  • Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D

    Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D
    Hi, I'm using the new Mac Pro
    2.7 GHz 12-core Intel Xeon E5
    64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
    AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
    OSX 10.9.2
    I'm using After Effects 12.2.1.5
    When I attempt to invoke the race trace 3D renderer in a comp, I get this error
    "After Effects Error: Ray-traced 3D: Out of paged mapped memory for ray tracer. Your project may exceed GPU limits. Try closing other applications. Try updating the CUDA driver. (5070::2)"
    My preferences are set to use the CPU for Raytraced 3D since I do not have an Nvidia card.
    So, obviously there is an issue here in that it thinks I have an Nvidia card.
    I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
    So my question is, what files can I delete/reset to cause After Effects to no longer look for CUDA files that do not exist on this machine?
    I do not have the CUDA control panel in System Prefs, so THAT did not carry over.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

    > I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
    Ugh. That causes so many problems.
    The first thing to try is deleting the CUDA frameworks from your Mac: Look in /Library/Frameworks for the CUDA.Framework and get rid of it.

  • Bootcamp and Windows 7 and 8 on the new Mac Pro (Dec 2013)

    I want to install bootcamp on my new Mac Pro (Dec 2013).
    Bootcamp says it supports Windows 7 and 8, but there is a bunch of new hardware with the new Mac Pro, so I am concerned about bootcamp support for it.
    Are there any issues with Windows 7 Pro install?  How about Windows 8 Pro?

    From what I see, only Windows 8 is supported on the new Mac Pro (Late 2013) with Bootcamp.

  • How to choose the right Mac Pro Specs?

    Hello all,
    Below is a question I posted in May along with someone's response. I'm wondering if I should still go with the response I received considering the new release of the mac pro 12 core. Did anything change that I need to note in my purchase or is the below response suitable? THANKS!!!!!
    my question:
    I need some help in choosing the right specs for my mac pro. I am looking for a computer that will help me in running my small business and keep my art portfolio organized. I'll probably be running several programs at a time (ex. mozilla, itunes, adobe bridge, dreamweaver, illustrator, and photoshop). More specifics below
    What i'll be using it for:
    building a few websites
    managing my small business
    large photo file editing
    keeping business files, artist receipts, etc
    cataloging my art portfolio (large photo files)
    storing photos, music, and short videos
    graphic design
    infrequent film editing
    infrequent sound editing
    what programs i'll be using:
    CS5 (mostly photoshop, illustrator, bridge, dreamweaver)
    iphoto
    itunes
    maybe minimal finalcut/soundtrack pro
    maybe minimal aftereffects
    Advice?
    My concerns are that it needs to run pretty smoothly with multiple programs open, no overheating, plenty of space for file storage and application support.
    Hello washleyill,
    My advice would be to buy the standard configuration 2.66GHz Quad Core (i.e. 3 x 1GB RAM, 640GB hard drive) from the Apple store, with the exception of the graphics card which you can buy as a CTO option for $200.00. It is well worth the upgrade from the GT120 - I know, because I upgraded myself last November after using a GT120 for 4 months.
    With regard to the memory, if you can afford it now, buy 4 x 4GB from OWC now. If not, I would suggest that you buy 2 x 4GB now, and then add another 2 x 4GB in the future. 16GB of RAM is a much better option than 8GB for your requirements. You can sell the 3 x 1GB RAM to OWC in "part exchange", and there would be little difference in price for 2 x 4GB to the CTO option of 4 x 2GB.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1066-memory
    Instead of buying 2 x 1TB hard drives as a CTO option, you could purchase 2 x 1.5TB or 2 x 2TB HDDs for less money, and you would still have the 640GB. Spare drives are always useful. I use my original 640GB as a spare emergency system boot drive (OS and applications) in an external enclosure.
    Another alternative is to wait a few more weeks, in case the rumours of the introduction of a new Mac Pro range in June have any foundation.
    Regards,
    Bill

    Hello again washleyill,
    The defining factor, which you haven't mentioned in either this or your original question, is what your overall budget is.
    With the introduction of the new models, it's a new ball game now since I replied to your original question.
    Now, if it is within your budget, I would recommend the 2010 Mac Pro 3.33GHz 6-Core "Westmere", with the standard 1TB hard drive, the basic 3 x 1GB RAM, but with the CTO Radeon HD5870 1GB Graphics Card.
    This is the same configuration that Lloyd Chambers (of Mac Performance Guide fame) has recently ordered:
    http://macperformanceguide.com/index.html
    Then buy as much memory as you can afford now from OWC (trade-in the 3 x 1GB of Apple RAM against this):
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1066-memory
    (The 1333MHz is now listed on this page as well as the 1066MHZ)
    If your budget is large enough, then certainly it is worth considering the 2.93Ghz 12-Core, but the 3.33GHz 6-Core, with maxed out memory and fast hard drives, should be more than adequate for your requirements. The more memory the better for Photoshop CS5!
    I have just ordered Photoshop CS5 myself. It is a big step-up from Elements 8, and I was going to wait until next year, by which time, hopefully, any initial problems and bugs should have been resolved.
    However, Adobe UK made me an offer I couldn't refuse! The full boxed Photoshop CS5 edition for half price!
    Also, the offer included an option to buy Lightroom3 at the same time with a 30% discount off its normal price, and so I have taken the plunge and ordered that as well, because I have never been completely happy with Aperture (II or III). Normally, I would not have purchased both Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3, but at these prices the offer was too tempting.
    Best of luck with your purchase,
    Regards,
    Bill

  • Can I run a mxo2 mini and a BMD intensity pro on the same mac pro?

    Hi to everyone,
    I have a strange question to you: Can I run a Matrox MXO2 mini and a Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro on the same Mac Pro?
    That's because I find more versatile using a MXO2 with editing software (I have an AVID MC 5.5.3 and I don't want to update it to 6 yet) and I'd like to begin to use DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design which, of course, functions only with their cards. My goal is to output Resolve to my FullHD CRT instrumental monitor without spending the money to upgrade AVID for now, I'm fine with 5.5.3.
    I won't use them togheter but alternatively as you can easily imagine.
    thanks
    best regards,
    ginuz

    The Mac Pro "Eight Core" 2.4 (Mid-2010/Westmere) is powered by dual 2.4 GHz Quad Core 45-nm Xeon E5620 (Westmere) processors with a dedicated 256k of level 2 cache for each core and 12 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache per processor.

  • Downgrade 10.5.1 to 10.4.11 on the new MAC Pro's (early 2008) 8 core

    Hi all
    I'm an AVID MediaComposer user and I was using it on a PC until the beginning this year I decided to go to MAC. I ordered the MAC pro according AVID's specs and I received the new model (I can't get anymore the old Mac Pro's - said the dealer). I noticed that even the new version of MC adrenaline V.2.8 will not run on the 10.5.1. Only on the 10.4.11. I tried to install 10.4.11 on this machine without any luck using the OS CD's. I even tried to install an internall 10.4.11 fitted disk drive but it wouldn't startup. I phoned the dealler and he said: "No way we can downgraded to 10.4.11. Sorry." The same thing was told by the Apple support line!!
    Is that truth???!
    Is there any way of doing it?
    I need to start working and, if that's true, I'll need to go back to PC... Possibly I shouldn't have gone to MAC
    Regards

    There are a couple of things you could do......
    1. Order a NVidia 7300 card from Apple for $149 & run that with a cloned 10.4.11 system, that works fine for 2d apps and video in a 2006 mac pro
    I am not aware of any other incompatibilities with your motherboard but that is something you would need to test ! I am sure about the video card you have needing 10.5 though.
    2. Offer to swap your mac pro for an earlier model. Try to get one still under warranty and find someone who will offer a cash adjust, if that matters to you. There must be heaps who would jump at the offer, and from your point of view it may just be worth it .....

  • How do I transfer photoshop files on my mac air to the larger mac pro?

    How do I transfer Photoshop files from my Macbook air to the larger Mac Pro?

    There are a number of ways, but the simplest is by USB thumb drive of sufficient capacity. The more elegant if both machines are on the same network is by switching file sharing on on the Mac Pro, and then logging into it from the Air. The Mac Pro drive will appear on the Air's desktop and allow you to simply drag the files over.
    For sharing, you will need an account on the Mac Pro, or the ID and password of an account already on the machine.
    File sharing basics are outlines in the support document at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • Will my LG GBW-H20L work in the new Mac Pro?

    I've got an LG GBW-H20L Blu Ray drive in my Vista machine, but am looking to get the new Mac Pro. I was wondering if I could move my LG into the Mac Pro with no problem? I've read some posts that mention an IDE to SATA converter, but this drive is already SATA. The Mac Pro is pricey enough without me having to buy another expensive drive.
    Thanks in advance

    I have one in my first gen Mac Pro. Lower tray, connected directly to one of the motherboard ODD SATA ports. Power is via a standard converter, old type to sata type. I only use it for burning data, never tried movies. Works fine.

    Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

    Mini DisplayPort (like 27" LED Cinema Display) is a direct subset of ThunderBolt (like Mac pro late 2013). It plugs right in and the display portion "just works", no adapters required.

    Any special tools required?

    Now here is the back, showing the heatsink paste still in place, and the thermal pads used to cool the RAM chips to the central cooler:
    note that the two cards are not interchangeable -- they have their power lugs on opposite sides. One card has chips to support actual display output to the thunderbolt Busses, the other card has none, but has the custom micro-PCIE slot for the PCIe SSD "stick".
    One reason for this design is that to make a leap forward, you would have to water-cool the slots for a traditional form-factor PCIe slot Mac pro. Then do it again to include a second GPU. In my opinion, this model Mac Pro is about conquering the cooling problem of this much CPU and GPU compute-power in one box.
    NVIDIA graphics card replacements? maybe eventually, but not at this writing.
