Apple today shared a new support document that provides a list of graphics cards that are Metal-capable, which will be useful for 2010 and 2012 Mac Pro owners who want to purchase a new graphics. I recently made some upgrades on my mac pro and I am running into what seem to be graphic card failures. I am operating with 2 x 2.4 GHz 6-core Intel Xeon, I've upgraded to 48GF of RAM and I've got an 500GB SSD for my startup disk, and 8TB of internal storage on 3 drives. Then I purchased a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 card off a website which advertised it as the 'mac edition' of the card. I now realize was a lie, and I have the regular PC version of the card, which may be part of the issue. I have been using the card now for about 4 months, and despite having some initial difficulties with the CUDA Driver (which were solved be uninstalling and re-installing), the card is functional. The big issue is that when I render anything in Premiere or After Affects CC2015.3 I get black bars, scrambled images, pink and green pixels, both in the application and transferring to chrome or my desktop or any open application. I have not had these issues present themselves in my final exports, which is why I have stood to use the card for so long. When I asked EVGA and NVIDIA about replacing the card they said it was not longer under warranty so I'd have to do it through the store. I guess my real question/dilemma is that there are only a few GFX cards which are compatible with both adobe programs, my Mac Pro, and that are accelerated GPU capable. Fun games for your mac. I initially purchased this card so I could use Ray-Traced Rendering in AE as the AMD (including those in the new mac pro) do not allow this feature. So if it is simply a faulty card, is it worth getting a replacement of the same card since it seems capable of working on my mac? ![]() Or should I look into returning this one and purchasing something like the NVIDIA Quadro 4000. Has anybody had this experience while trying to replace the GFX card on their older Mac Pro? There used to be a Mac edition of the GTX-680 and as far as I recall this was only ever sold under the EVGA brand. It is possible to 'flash' the firmware of PC versions of this card to in theory convert them to Mac edition cards I have even done this myself although I do not have or use Adobe CS. To confirm your card has some form of Mac firmware does it show the standard Apple logo in the middle of the screen when you boot up? If it is completely black until the login screen appears then it does not have Mac firmware and is likely an unaltered PC edition card if it does show the Apple logo it does have Mac firmware. Of course even if it has been flashed it might have been done badly and be causing your issues. Something that is not clear from your post is whether you are using the built-in Apple drivers for this card - Apple do provide drivers for the GTX-680 or whether you have downloaded the Nvidia 'web edition' drivers which Nvidia also offer.
