This hierarchy is pretty much universal, not only for DaVinci Resolve, but any application that relies heavily on GPU processing.
I’ve put together the a list of all the best NVIDIA and AMD GPU’s arranged in order of performance. Choosing a GPU is a careful balance between performance needs (and expectations), and budget. The GPU is the single most important component in any DaVinci Resolve workstation or laptop. I’ve listed all the best NVIDIA and AMD GPU options in order of price and performance. Most is explained in videos and forums.Choosing a GPU for DaVinci Resolve can be overwhelming.
There are a couple of details one should know, but i can explain details to anyone trying this. Also i had to sand down the heatsink to give space and avoid some components in the gpu from touching.

I needed another system (i used a macbook) to install the mojave on an ssd with the patches for the 11.3 iMac, without the gpu patch.
Cheapest video card for mac Patch#
I needed no flashing, just a copy of Dosdude1 Mojave Patcher and to not let the Legacy video card patch run when the now compatible GPU was ready to run. I dont need the extra GPu since i don’t run any video making or anything rather parallels with Autocad. There are videos on YouTube and a lot of discussion around. Nit to mention Metal capability GPU that’s currently Mojave.Īltough i now run mojave, the Cinebench specs went down a few fps with the new gpu for some reason, so i would recommend a better GpU but only after someone else confirm they work as well as the 765M(ive seen some 880 8GB for around 250$).

I went full upgrade and paid way much less than just getting me a working i7 for the same year and i ended up with a super machine. I successfully upgraded the CPu for an i7 “4core 870” (38$ eBay), 32Gb Ram(88$ eBay 4x8gb), Samsung Evo 850 1TB SSD (99$ eBay) and a GTX 765M 2GB GPu (79$ eBay). It such a great system and I wanted to upgrade before even considering the price of a competent new iMac.Īs of last month. I was running a 2010 27” with i5, 16Gb Ram, 256SSD + 3TB 3.5” HD, and the stock 1GB(512GB) GPU. So stay away from the 5+6000 HD cards or get an Nvidia card, which runs cooler, and run the patch till Apple starts to NOT use intel chips (around 2020-2021 ?) anymore and we ALL have to either wait for a hack or buy a new Mac! I expect that the performance relative to newer iMacs isworth the $$ that I'm saving from getting a newer Mac that only runs moderately faster yet costs tremendously more. I have found that the HD4670 / HD4850 cards work really good, and i’m not playing games, but there are 2GB cards that work( with out the boot screen ) but they are older cards and their performance is…dated.Īll in all though, my 20 27” iMacs with a HD4670/HD4850 cards run Mojave quite nicely, with an SSD HDD and Mac Fan Control installed so I never have heat problems or noisy fans. You can try a lot of mxm cards from other venders, like HP etc…and if you already have the Mojave patch up and running, then you must wait for the log in screen, until then it will be blank/black.īUT not all cards work at that point, just be patient. The only thing I have found is that Netflix does not work in Safari…but it does in Chrome… Imac 4670 cards will work in Mojave with dosdude1 patch just fine. So fine, I will buy this HD 7650a and attempt to patch it and run it in my iMac, then maybe the misinformation, dated theory, and “You can’t”s will finally cease. I know 3rd party patches exist for graphic cards to work with Macs, and AMD is better supported. Unfortunately, as my machine is the 21.5”, a full MXM card will not fit, only the half size. As far I know, the latest and greatest consumer MXM graphics cards from both the Red and Green Teams are the RX 580 and the GTX 1080. I know we are still in the Beta stages, but surely someone knows more than just a list of compatible Macs, what’s the REASON behind them being compatible?ĮDIT (12/16/18): I am surprisingly disappointed no one has tried this yet. If I flash this card to Apple’s firmware, and use a Mojave patch tool, will this machine see any issues running the latest OS? If you can verify compatibility, please do.

So, I have found a cheap mxm graphics card, HD 7650a 2GB, that apparently is supported (as it is a 7000 series AMD card). The only thing I have found, is that my GPU doesn’t support metal. So, my real question is, why can’t my machine run Mojave? I also have a compatible wifi/bluetooth 4.0 card lying around, but I didn’t install as it is a solder-job (and this is my family’s computer). So I have a iMac Mid 2010, fitted with 16GB of RAM, an SSD, an HD 5670 512mb, and now an i5 680 (and a blu-ray drive!).

*I know how to google, if the only advice you can provide is from the 1st google page please move on.
