Dec 06, 2015  This is how to install Mac OS X 10.11 'El Capitan' on an unsupported Mac Pro. In this video, I use a Mac Pro 1,1 (that has been flashed to 2,1 firmware). Nov 22, 2015 - Well got me old 2006 mac pro 1.1 running El Capitan 10.11.1. And is there any way to get a boot screen if the card is flashed?

The new PCI-E based Nvidia Titan Xp has 12GB of GDDR5X memory running at 11.4 gigabits per second, 3840 CUDA cores running at 1.6 GHz. Nvidia claims that the card allows for 12 TFLOP performance. The Titan Xp is from Nvidia. Also announced is the of a new version of the beta drivers for Nvidia cards, commonly used in the PCI-e Mac Pro and external GPU solutions.

For the first time, Pascal-based cards will be able to be used, opening up the Titan Xp and Nvidia series 10 cards including the previously released Nvidia 1080ti for Macs with PCI-e slots. The current Nvidia beta drivers require macOS 10.11 El Capitan or 10.12 Sierra, and were released on March 28.

Assuming that the OS requirements aren't limited to macOS 10.12 Sierra, the drivers should function on the Mac Pro 3,1; 4,1; and 5,1 from 2008, 2009, and 2010 respectively. Should the drivers be restricted to macOS 10.12 Sierra, then compatibility is limited to the 5,1 Mac Pro, or the 4,1 Mac Pro with a firmware flashed with a third party utility so it identifies itself as a 5,1 Mac Pro, as Sierra is incompatible with older hardware. Without some form of, the new Titan Xp isn't compatible with the 2013 cylindrical Mac Pro. On Tuesday, Apple on higher-end Mac Pro cylinders, and noted that it had a of the Mac Pro in progress for release at some point in 2018. Nvidia was seeking engineers in September for the company's Mac graphics drivers team. The job postings with Apple's Metal cross-platform application programming interface. I wouldn't bother with an old Mac Pro.

Too expensive of an upgrade for an old machine. Might work for a new Hackintosh if building one wasn't such a hassle. If you have a later gen MacPro its still a very viable Mac. That being said yes, $1200 is too expensive, but if you really need the GPU power and want a Mac this is your route. Maybe down the road they'll develop a GeForce 1070 and/or 1080 which should be much more affordable. Building a Hackintosh is an absolute continuous pain in the ass. I'd never do it.its not worth it and I don't understand why people do it.

Just buy a Mac and be done with it instead of always wondering when the software will break. I want to use the damn thing, not tinker with it every time something happens that makes macOS not function properly, or at all. I wouldn't bother with an old Mac Pro.

Just buy a Mac and be done with it instead of always wondering when the software will break. I want to use the damn thing, not tinker with it every time something happens that makes macOS not function properly, or at all. I have an original Mac Pro 1,1 which I maxed out everything.

Had to reflash a Radeon graphics card 79xx something. New eight core Xeons and 32 GB Ram, USB 3, 1TB SSD, HDMI, running Yosemite. All together around $650 for the upgrades. Even with all that it is still not nearly as fast as my everyday driver - a top of the line iMac 5K. As far as building a Hackintosh, I agree it is not worth the hassle and I have not seen many builds using dual Xeons which is the only reason I would ever consider it. I would have bought a new Mac Pro in a heartbeat had they kept the original form factor with just the updates to the fans for EU compliance.

The GeForce 1070 and 1080 will be supported by the same drivers that push this card. 1070 is about $350, with the 1080 about $530. 1070 is about 6.5 teraflops, with the 1080 around 10.7.
