*Graphics clarification: if it was confusing in the video, by default you can use a card with up to 225W TDP; the slot and each of the 2 mini 6-pins can supply 75W each. If I had used a mini 6 to 8 pin adapter, it would try to draw 150W from one connector- you can easily fry the board with that. If your card is an 8 pin you need to draw power from both 6-pins. if your card has 2 6-pins you need to use 2 mini 6 to 6 adapters, not a mini-6 to dual 6-pin. If you want to use a card that's over 225W (Vega 64, Radeon VII) you'll need to mod the PSU. A Radeon 5700 xt draws 225 so that's the most powerful card you can run without modding.

"This RX 580 I got for $90..."
*cries in 2021*
ahahahhaahha. 90$, for what the box?
I paid several hundred for one two years ago. 😳
this was the comment I came down to find LMAO
@@00SNIVY00 2021: I got this RX for 500$
i was going to buy a rx580 for $200 aud but now on ebay its like $550 aud
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. As the original owner of a 2009 4,1 MacPro, this has been a great guide for keeping an ancient computer relevant. When I first purchased this computer back in the day, it was a pretty basic single CPU 2.93 GHz quad-core machine that I thought would serve as a decent desktop for routine daily use and amateur photography for a few years, which it did quite capably. I never dreamt it would still be going 11 years later. When the MacPro 6,1 came out, it didn't seem terribly appealing, so upgraded the 4,1 with a PCIe SSD, maxed out the RAM, and ran El Capitan for many years without a hitch. Having added several additional new MacBook Pros and Airs to the mix with newer operating systems led to sync issues via iCloud, and I thought I'd wait it out til the 7,1 came out to upgrade. Then came the announcement of Apple Silicon, which put those plans on hold. This led to a brief search for additional options until the dust settles. Hence, this upgrade path. Once the parts were acquired, flashed the 4,1 to 5,1, installed a 3.46 GHz 6-core Westmere, took the RAM to 48 GB, briefly upgraded to High Sierra, upgraded the WiFi/Bluetooth card, dropped in a RX580, loaded Mojave, and added USB 3.2 card. An afternoon worth of work, and the opportunity to clean out 11 years worth of dust, and feels like a fresh machine again:) We'll see what Apple Silicon brings, but at least I'm good for the moment...
That old Mac Pro design is so damned beautiful!
I agree
The inside is elegant as well. It’s so clean compared to my old Windows towers…so messy with cables!
Mac Pro 2019: Hold my beer.
IT'S A TRAP!!! RUN!!! Once you go Mac, you CAN'T go back! And worse, you can't afford to go forward!
@@ptkelly80 have you never seen cable management in your entire life?
Every time I have to open my 4,1 up I'm amazed by the design. I know PC cases have caught up in that regard since the 'finger slicer' days but it's still a masterpiece, yet adaptable and configurable.
It is. It's a beauty inside and outside.
Honestly most pc cases havent caught up to this case design in terms of its polish.
it's interesting to watch a RUclipsr that's a lot more relatable to me who buys basically all my tech used. It seems more in reach than some people who buy and review brand-new tech that costs as much as a decent car.
Agreed. Recently watched one tech youturber, was complaining that his 34 ultra wide on top of his 38 ultra wide was too "distracting....". Guess what, he then borrow a Pro Display XDR and said he has to keep it (for now) because due to COVID19 so he can't return it yet, which I called BS. There is no way that 90% of people can even afford those setup. Even this automatic standing desk is expensive. I don't blame him because people likes to see techs, but it's great to see something relatable and most people could actually afford.
Yep! My early 2009 iMac is tired and I don' think there's anything I can do to kick it into gear so as one of the newly unemployed, this may be a somewhat affordable option.
Thanks Mr. Miani!
I’d love a follow up to these Mac Pro 5,1 videos that includes the following:
1) How to flash the GPU to show the boot screen.
2) How to install Windows 10 on this machine. It’s not officially supported in Mojave.
3) How to hack it to upgrade to Catalina.
I love these videos. You inspired me to get into upgrading these cheese graters. I have two of these, I just picked up a 30” Cinema Display, and I might be looking at two more. FWIW, these also make fantastic 1080p Windows gaming machines.
Opencore is the answer to that.
@JMFC
Just use the DosDude Catalina patcher
I am interested in the flashed rx580 cards.. (for bootscreen, high native res support etc) how's that done?
flashing services are asking for more $ than the card itself to have that done...
Aware of OpenCore... but it's a bit fiddly.
FriscoBoater's Garage How is opencore relevant? THIS IS NOT a Hackintosh.
@@fmlazar Doesn't need to bea hackintosh, clover and opencore help you get to catalina, and will help me get thunderbolt 3 on my 5,1
I don’t think this video could have been made any better. Concise, clear, good pace, clean all around.
Fantastic video. I love how you add a second life to these older machines and show us these are not obsolete. I still have almost my old macs and MacBook since 2007 or so and all of them have been upgraded insole way or form with SSD and max memory. Every single machine is still very useable today.
Thanks, Luke. Used this video to do many upgrades on my 2010 Pro. One very small thing: the long-handled hex wrench is a 3mm, not 3.5mm. 3.5mm wrenches are extremely rare. :-)
You really make the best APPLE videos on the internet. Thank you for making this
I'm always excited to see any 5,1 videos. Great video Luke! Watching in 4K on my 2009 Mac Pro.
I did this a couple of years ago, it’s been my main computer since then.... awesome video... very easy to follow for people wanting to do something like this. The one thing I’d add to this video is that I believe ram lanes 3 and 4 share so you might see decreased ram speeds with all 4 slots being used , something to keep in mind if upgrading ram.
Wanted to build one two years ago as my main build.
I still want to even in 2020! Lol great video as always Luke!
Definitely one of the best Mac Pros to upgrade! Straight up classic here💯💸
Great video Luke. It is nice to see these 5,1's still being useful. I have two 5,1's that I use today.
Thanks Luke, this is such an awesome project. I've been working one too, going to try out the PCI NVME drive adapter to get mega speeds on the hard drive.
I Love those old cheese graters.
Hennark Ilsen same, I would have get one if they weren’t so loud and power hungry compared to the computer I finally bought : an I3 NUC :-)
I nearly bought a 12 core. What stopped me was the realization that it was as much a powerful computer as it was a spaceheater. My little place gets hot enough in the summer as is.
Had the Quad-Core G5 cheesegrater, indeed it was the most stylish, most imposing Workstation/PC I've ever had.
Ikr! They're so modular and space age
ANYONE ELSE USE IT FOR CHEESE?
Definitely a good value... after loading Mojave, I added a cheap NVME (adapter and chip - $13 for adapter and $47 for chip) and the read/write speed are 4-5x faster than without it. I think in total I spent $400 on machine and upgrades.
Thanks for showing how to apply the thermal paste. That was the only step I needed help with :)
I pretty much did the same thing with my 2010 dual tray. I slapped two x5690s and only 64GB of ram. Amazing video! I wish this was around when I did my upgrades.
It’s worth 500 bucks just to have it open and look at. What a craftsmanship!!
This is the exact build I was looking for when you did the fastest mac pro in the world build. Perfect.
ooops.. welp x5500 cpus are cheap these days..
Thanks so much for using Final Cut Pro as a "real world" test for your upgrade. So many RUclipsrs run a "test bench" or play a game, and leave you wondering, "how will this affect what I really bought this computer for?'
This answers a lot of questions and leaves no doubt in my mind. 🏆
Another awesome video... I recently picked up a 2010 5,1 to replace/upgrade from my still working quite well 2008 Mac Pro.
Still rocking my mid 2012 with Vega vii and its a beast! Running with dual 27” apple cinema displays and its such a dream setup still
Much better design setup than 2020 one ☝️
Did you get yours to go up to Catalina, how did you get the thunderbolt displays to work, I have been looking for a thunderbolt to us b dongle.
You can connect the SSD on the connector for the second DVD drive that you probably don't have.
I love my 09 tower, installed a SSD drive about a ago year ago. Was looking to to upgrade the CPU and graphics card now that I can see the simplicity, Thank you for this, will be making the changes.
These videos of yours are amazing. Thank you for all of the great info.
When adding an SSD, I use the second connector on the DVD harness and let it live under the DVD.
Luke: We can put whatever card we want in it
Me: *sad nvidia noises*
Yeah, sorry, no Titans need apply here. 😒
You could put nVidia cards into these Mac Pros. You'll be on High Sierra though. ;)
Everything I've read say's, if you put a Thunderbolt card in one these Pro's it wont works because the Motherboard was not designed for it. The card would cost as much if not more then the mac
@@ldfox11 They do, you just have to boot into Windows first then reboot into macOS if you want it to work in macOS. So you haven't read everything then.
@@WarriorsPhoto Just install OpenCore and go with Catalina almost "plug-n-play", plus install whatever VGA you want with boot screen as well ,)
I love my 4,1 with a Vega 56. It is by far the oldest piece of technology I use daily but the one I use most often.
Awesome video! Thanks.... I’ve got an old early 2009 Mac Pro and I might upgrade it now!
Oh gosh I hope that nobody that follows this forget to put thermal paste in the processor... But great video Luke! :D
He said he would add it to the heat sink
It probably came with thermal paste pre-applied
Play the video in x0.25 speed from 8:34 and you will see the white thermal paste on the cpu try to see it just before he put the heatsink.
Como Ser Boladão
This is apple, it will never get real hot inside, u reused it? was it still good enough?
If people forget to put thermal paste on the cpu/heatsink, then they shouldn’t be doing this in the first place.
Built one of these after your last video. Dual processor though. It’s the bomb. Keep up the great videos. But, I’d split for the 2.5 to 3.5 drive adapter :)
What processor did u use
Have a 2008 model (3.1) and its still a great machine. 2 x quad core Xeons and 24GB RAM. Fitted it out with a GTX680 and have it running Mojave. Solid as a rock.
That's pretty dope. I would LOVE to have that on my desk right now.
Love it!! I have a 2009 5,1 - Dual 3.33GHz Xeon, 48Gb 1333MHz. Just ordered a Radeon RX 560 ITX. Thanks Luke.
Do you have a video of the best way to install Mac OS with a non flashed GPU?
@@TheBluuHouse install it with the stock GPU, load sierra first, as it does another firmware flash. then swap the video card for the RX580, which is natively supported. then upgrade to mojave. thats the process I have done.
I just made mine 2 months ago. I love it. This video would have been helpful then. Cheese grater values are going to skyrocket.
they already have, 2009 now going for 500 and up, dual cores are 700 and up
This video is extremely helpful. Keep up the good work, Luke! And thank you so much!
Spectacular! Thanks for an absolutely fascinating build!
Don't forget the cost of power. For people who leave the computer on 24/7, if they can accomplish what they need to do on a mini, the savings in electricity costs over the pro will pay for the machine in short order. Mac pros are definitely machines one should put to sleep when not in use.
This is more applicable to the pre-2008 models: The 2,1 1,1 Mac Pro and the G5. Those had significantly higher power usage. That being said, sleep is on per default on macOS and why would you keep your Mac on 24/7?
@@beeldbuijs1003 Well for 3D rendering you might definitely let it on all night.
I picked a 2010 up for $200 and it had the dual cpu tray then I added two of the 5675 xeons for another 45 bucks.
Great PRICE! Where did you purchase the Mac Pro from? Did that include shipping?
I got my 2009 for $100, flashed it and put in x5675’s also. 96gb ram and an rx580
Dayum that’s a screamin’ deal!
Im a newb. Will two 5675 Xeons and 16GB ram be great for Logic Pro x? What would you compare dual processors to in today’s market?
@@questioneverything9761 that will run nicely :) i use 1x 5680 in mine and runs really nice
Luke: your video made me pull the trigger on this project. Hoping for the best!
Watched a few of your videos, but this was the sub. You’re a legend
Great video. I love this channel and the direction of your work, so here's some constructive criticism:..
You missed a bunch of very important points:
1. The processor you're recommending (as every other one for this platform) features a triple-channel memory controller. The CPU actually performs worse with two or four modules. So to take full advantage of the CPU you should go with 24GB(3x8) or 48 ((3x16) The 5,1 introduced CPUs capable of handling 1333MHz memory, instead of the CPUs that came with the 4,1 (1066), tests show a 4% advantage for the higher clocked memory setup. For a dual CPU scenario it's 48GB(6x8) or 96(6x16). For low-latency audio applications the single-cpu is better. For audio multitrack mixing and video applications the inter-cpu latency won't be an issue.
2. The SATA controller is 2nd gen, so you get 300 MB/s each way per drive and the 6-socket controller maxes out at less than 900((old PCIe). So the most efficent scenario is 2 SSDs and 2 HDDs, or a dedicated SATA3 PCIe card with a dedicated 2,5" drive mounting space for every SATA3 SSD.
3. There's a list of GPUs that work with Mojave. nVidia 740/760/780 support Metal natively, not all AMD cards are suppoorted and the nVidia Web Driver is not being developed since Mojave anymore, so 900 series, 10x series and 20x series are not an option with Mojave and up. You chose the best card for this scenario, but it's not like you said that we can install ANYTHING WE WANT.
4. The main argument against pimping out a cheesegraterr is the lack of Thunderbolt. It is possible though to install an add-in-card and enable partial TB3 support (PCIe element). Depending oon your use scenario, you might get it working just fine ((Universal Audio Apollo devices work fine).
Cheers and stay safe Luke!
Thank you very much, really helpful!
This was cool. I love my 5,1 and it's my main computer! The only thing I'd add in terms of value and/or creature comfort is a cheap USB3 card (~$25). It won't be able to power multiple external HDDs but USB3 vs USB2 is a big difference! Similarly with speed, I think it's important to note that the hard drive bays are SATA2 not SATA3, which means the theoretical max read/write is 300MB/s. Mine has an old apple 128gb SSD and I get about 225 MB/s read and 150 MB/s write. This is just to say, don't buy some crazy fast SSD unless you are going to get a PCIE card to put it in!
I really enjoy your videos and am always interested in what fun purchase/repair you make next!
Yes, good advice on the SSDs. I got a couple of the biggest cheapest ones I could find. My 5,1 MacPro:
2 x 6 core 3.46 gHz. 64 GB ram, same video card Luke installs here, USB 3 and latest Wifi/Bluetooth with external antenna port. The only other major upgrade I could make would be SSD on a PCI card.
@盧昱翔40709 Based on a quick google search, it seems the theoretical maximum is 500 MB/s per PCI-E 2.0 lane. On a 4x slot that's a theoretical max of 2000MB/s but realistically it seems people get 1200-1500 MB/s with an NVME card. Seems pretty fast to me!
what ssd's do you recommend? Sorry, a little new to this so trying to figure it out still. Thanks!
@@diegoflores8626 Check out Macrumors for info on classic Mac Pro upgrades; many issues, not all compatible. For speed you probably would need the latest Mac firmware too. Put in a raid card into the spare 16 lane slot and you get double the speed of Thunderbolt 3; if the card is multi NVME card you can have the OS on one card and raid the rest, all on the card; 4,700 write and 5,300 MBPS is achieved by many that way. That hardware costs though and the used market might not be great for the best card because so far as Windows 10 goes it doesn't currently take advantage of the tech; strangely the old Mac benefits a lot. forums.macrumors.com/threads/pcie-ssds-nvme-ahci.2146725/ And with the best card the latest version is much quieter, so fan noise speed and heat sinks are important, after one is assured it will work. Probably half the speed or a third the speed of a new Mac Pro though, more issues too as these units are far from new!
Hi Sean I know that this video was done some time back. However it is still very valuable to me I would like to thank you for this tutorial.
I like the way how hones you are try to help anther people. Good presentation in listing all those parts which make easy following.
NEXT UPGRADE (I think)
Install OpenCore
Add Thunderbolt3 card
I Have a MacPro 3,1 and I love this :)
I have upgraded to a 500gb SSD
and a nVidia GTX 680 (Flashed for the Mac Edition)
This thing has 32GB RAM
and a dual Processor 2x Quad^^
with the catalina patcher, this mac run with catalina :)
Im about to buy a 3,1 for $220 with 16GB ram, any suggestions?
Man, you are a straight up genius. I'm going to try this. I'm stuck at El Capitan. I need this upgrade. Thanks much.
Thank you we always appreciate the knowledge you share with us!!!
Excellent. And better than every “cheap” Hackintosh I’ve seen/built.
What about the builds from Snazzy Labs
i tried the hackitosh idea`s and omg what a pain in the ass.. reason i bought a mac pro 5,1 single then modified it to suit wayyyy better. For what i want it for works a treat.
Sorry, but that's objectively wrong. Hackintoshes can have quirks, can be problematic, but if you go with a tried and tested build they can be almost as easy and painless as a used Mac, with far more modern components. You even get rid of some built-in pains of original Macs.
Even old Macs shine in a (tasty,) new light just by the way you say
"valuable Machine"!🙂
Wow great presentation. I have 4 screens on mine. Gonna look inside. I didn’t see the chip down below. Thanks. RWB
Very simple to follow instructions, thank you.
i love the design of the old cheese graters. i remember when i was in an apple store for the first time and i saw one of those, i wanted one so badly. now you can get them for a few bucks. but atm i prefer my self built hackintosh. maybe i'll get one in the future as a second system.
great video as always, keep it up luke!
Hackintosh is pain in the ass
Joshua Axelio I agree, but it’s less painful to me than paying 3 times as much for machine which offers little to no upgrade options.
@@LeeMatches Pretty true. Why I am looking at this. I have a windows machine and an older iMac. This seems like the perfect medium in that it's not super expensive, compromisable upgradability and more stable and less pain in the arse then a hackintosh. It's also pretty darn simple to upgrade to a Catalina. Catalina was supported in the beta release but was not supported in the official release.
For those wondering, the adapter is a mini 6 pin to 8 pin, not 4 pin.
This would work with the RX 580?
Dude, is that right, because I can’t find a 6 to 4 ANYWHERE?
Good advice on the cards in the description. I ran an 8-pin RX570 off just one of the 6-pin mini plugs and am fairly certain that is why my logic board failed ($130-ish replacement) as I didn’t realize it was going to pull that much from the one plug 😞. I now run a two mini 6-pin to 8-pin adapter for my 570 in my 2010 5,1 auto-over locked with no issue (120-150 watt power draw under load).
I just cleaned the dust off my Mac G5 2009 and looking to upgrade but need to do some more research on what I need to run Pro Tools and see if I can connect it to my 2017 iMac to use as a monitor. Need all the help I can get...thanks for such a great video!!!
I wished I could do that in my place. These 5,1, besides extremely hard to find in the used/gray market, are abusively expensive - not to mention the components to make any upgrade 😢
(In case you’re wondering where I live: 🇧🇷)
Same thing here in Mexico 🇲🇽 even though we are literally next door. That processor price is ~+$50 dls here. And the Mac Pro itself is ~$600 dls
Im not wondering
Literally was about to do this a couple months ago, ended up just buying a Dell XPS. Wish I had this video then :(
You can still hackintosh it
@@philippheller9439 I though you had to have very specific hardware to do that
So excellent I love the just pop the SSD in the slot and let it hang :)
I use ICEY DoCks in mine, but I did pop a SSD in the second optical bay recently and let it hang :)
They never go out of style till this day..! Performance still very good too.
Hey i have a question. I cliked on the amazon link and it showed me the Retro edition. It cost 177€ and is way to expensive or me. Also i cant find the RX 580 anywhere available . And you said we dont gonna get the booting screen . How can i get him ? Is the Adapter for that ? . And where can i find this power cable for the RX 580 ? . it would be nic if you could answer me
Titanic_Letsplay Yeah the cheapest I’ve seen the RX 580 is £160. That’s over $200
Wait, I just did that yesterday. Well, almost. RX 590 and different SSD.
Hi, where did you get the cable? I see Luke connected it straight to the motherboard, so isn't the complicated power supply cable modification, it's a new cable which provides power from the pin on the mobo ain't?
Can you tell me where did you get the RX590 and if it will work with the Mac Pro 5,1 right away? I want to upgrade my graphics so that I can drive either a 34 or 38inch ultra wide. My stock video card can only go up to 1440p. Thanks!
I love my 5, 1 Mac Pro! Mine came with a 6 Core Xeon X5670 processor, 32GB of RAM, standard HD 5770 GPU and a 1TB hard drive. I upgraded the GPU to an RX 570 4GB and the storage to a 250GB Samsung SSD and added a 2TB Seagate drive. Overall, pretty good for my video editing machine.
Great value or not, it sure looks like a fun project. Thanks for the video!
I‘m still happy with my 2008 Mac Pro with 32GB RAM I paid 130€ for.
Still using Mac Pro 3,1 (early 2008)
Dude! Awesome Video! I'm so gonna build one of these to replace my aging 2011 iMac!
This is very very good value for money.. and i like to see more videos just like this one bcz i was recently bought 5,1
RIP RX 580 for $90....
I'm curious could you put in a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 GPU?
You could but there a no drivers for the Nvidia videocard in Mojave or Catalina.
Someone Might of made the kexts
Its bad enough with anything NVidia at the moment. I have a 5,1 with a very similar Nvidia in my studio. Its been a nightmare recently. Any security updates keep breaking any 'fixes'. I would not wish the aggravation on my enemy. They really want a 'Metal' capable card. As a user you will be stuck in the middle of corporate wars. However it will work but you have to be in it for the pain. Apple fell out big time with Nvidia and development is really not supporting anything Mac
@@StuEvans It's funny you still have to state this in 2020!. Apple is going all in. Nvidia was dumped by Apple last year and this year they'll be dumping AMD! Even with Mohave and a Catalina hack, the metal-supported cards in these Macs will become obsolete by design when Apple silicon drops, then it'll be an Apple-only love affair. IIRC, if you have a Windows 10 dual-boot installed you may be able to do something from the Darkside then soft boot back over into the Light, but it's a PITA, YMMV. There are other great cards out there, your best bet is Google in advance Pros and Cons and hacks before you buy!
@@emotionalintelligence776 Mac is going with their own CPU or they doing their own GPU ?

8gb of ram duel core i5 is it good value or not good value?
Good value
ive been looking at (used) macbooks recently and in my opinions that seems like a good deal in my opinion.
Good value
Coolcam Tv thanks for the feed back!
Decent value but you can run the latest macOS at amazing speed, but if your Mac stops getting updated next year then you can do Hackintosh to get the latest OS or install Windows 10 (which works really fast - and just download a free ISO copy and from the Microsoft website get a activation bypass/unlocked) that I recommend. You can also, keep both macOS and Windows (by the Bootcamp app by Apple - search it on RUclips) but you only can run one OS at a time and both OS will take up separate space.
Wow now I want to make one for my self and sell my old iMac 🖥.
Same here, I have a mid 2010 iMac. If only you could use the iMac as purely a screen!
I saw your videos on upgrading a mac pro and bought mine on the basis of that. Mine is a 12 core 5,1. No regrets.
You sold me on this for my first Mac since my experiment with an old G3 Mac. Just want to play with my drone footage. Now I need to find a decent base Mac Pro.

Hey, Luke, I was in the same boat with the SSD problem when I bought my 3,1 Mac Pro just use masking or Ductap to hold the drive in the middle it keeps it safe when you don't have a mounting rack for it hope this tip helps you, man!.
Fantastic Video Luke! I have a 2010, and was wondering if I could do this and you came up randomly on my suggested video and boom. Time to upgrade now :)

Than you for putting this out there on RUclips - just Subscribed! I just about have what you listed here - went with a Radeon R9 280X with the EFI mod🤕, 512 GB PCI OTW SATA dual 128GB RAID card, 48GB.....now I just need that $20 X5676 Westmere 6 Core and I will be all set! Thank you so much!
I love this machine so much I wouldn't bother if you would make a video about it every week.
This is what I have been doing. I upgraded to a 6 core CPU. I also put a RX580 GPU in it and moved the SSD to the PCIE slot. Next I want a dual CPU tray for 12 cores and an NVME SSd and a few 6 TB drives.
this is really cool, Luke!
Just got this one in early feb, just upgraded ii and will do a video soon. Not going to lie You did inspire the buy my friend. I had the original 1,1 when I ran a studio in 2006
I have an old dual G5 late 2005. Sill awesome. It now dual boots OSX 10.4.1 and Lubuntu. I love the case. It would make a good housing for a Mac Mini M1 kind of like what you did with the old iMac.
And those upgrades, after 10yrs. is exactly why a Mac Pro is worth it to me. I'm going to buy the new 2019 one. Even though there will be one with Apple silicone in the coming years, the 2019 will still be supported throughout the years. If get anywhere between 8 to 10 yrs with it i'm happy. I'm not a professional at all, more a prosumer. I do some light web/graphic design but i also like to make music with Logic Pro X and i also do a little bit of video editing. I have the 6-core trashcan Mac Pro 2013 but it's getting really slow on me. I have the D700's with 64GB of ram in it. But i'm getting it to it's limits. I'm going with a Mac Pro 16-core with 96GB of ram, 8tb SSD and the w7500 AMD gpu with 16gb. I think this machine will last me for a very long time!
Thank you for this video Luke and showing exactly why a Mac Pro is worth it!
