cuda driver ati radeon r9 for mac sierra

On the other hand another 25W of TDP makes gigantic difference. It would make the GPU to give 5.7 TFLOPs of compute power. 125W is impossible on this GPU unless you want extremely under clocked GPU. R9 Nano is locked to 175W of GPU TDP and average board power draw is 185W, at average 890 MHz core clock. Fury X with core clock of 1050 is consuming 280W under load. It would have the added benefit of opening up some PCIE lanes so that they can increase the speed of the SSD(s) and have lots of thunderbolt 3 controllers.Ĭlick to expand.It is simple. If you want added GPU power then get an external thunderbolt enclosure which seems to have support in Sierra. In a perfect world it would be nice to see them offer options for either AMD or Nvidia cards but since they must make custom PCBs for each so I doubt this happens. Then they aren't stuck waiting for AMD or Nvidia to release GPUs in the small to moderate range that fit in the mac pro and instead can use the big power hungry GPUs like AMD's R9 390X, Fury or Nvidia's Titans. This means they could fit in any GPU whether its a 150 W AMD RX 480 or a 250 W Nvidia Pascal Titan X. My preference would be for Apple to drop the mac pro to a single GPU. Maybe it could be one of the lower end options. They would also have to underclock it even further than the fury nano to make it fit in the thermal envelope.

Fiji is a non-starter for a lot of professional applications because its limited to only 4 GB of VRAM. I think they might be updating the mac pro with each node shrink. I personally don't think Apple will put a 28 nm GPU in the next mac pro.
