Hallo zusammen!

Ich spiele schon seit längerem mit dem Gedanken, mir einen Cayenne Turbo der ersten Generation zu kaufen.

Ich find das Auto dermaßen schön (subjektiv, ich weiß) und da gibt es teils echt gute Angeboten, manchmal sogar scheckheftgepflegt in einem sehr sauberen Zustand für weit unter 10.000€.

Hab jetzt sogar das ein oder andere Angebot für um die 4000-5000€ gesehen, manchmal sogar nur 2-4 Vorbesitzer.

Was ist da faul? Die Autos sehen genial aus, hab aber keine Ahnung ehrlich gesagt von Autos daher dachte ich frage ich mal.

Besonders die erste Generation, so 2004-2006 find ich besonders schön!

Hello everyone, in a couple of hours I’ll be finally upgrading my beloved Mac Pro 5.1 from the GT120 to an RX580, finally.

However, I am planning to stay on Mojave for now, since I want to run 32-bit applications, so no OCLP. But I still want a bootscreen.

On eBay I’ve found some pre-flashed RX580 8GB with bootscreen for the Mac Pro, but they wanted 200$, the one I bought was unflashed and cost only 70$.

So now I need to flash it myself, how can I go about that?

Hello everyone!

So I'm looking for a second GPU for my 2019 Mac Pro. I already have a W6800X Duo that I got pretty cheap (around 800 Euros) for local LLMs and rendering, but I'd really love to have a W6900X as well. It has better gaming performance and is still compatible with my Studio Display and Pro Display XDR, which the 6900 XT is not.

But I cannot source one from anywhere, they are basically gone from the market somehow. So if anyone has one (he'd be selling for a good price) or knows where to find one, I'd be really grateful if you could help me out 😅

Hello everyone,

Someone just offered me a Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX for the Mac Pro for 2000 Euros. This is probably the hardest GPU to get, and I am strongly considering it right now. To further elaborate:

Right now, I have two Vega IIs. I removed one of the Vega II to make room for the Promise Pegasus R4i, so I will be selling that GPU anyways. In Germany this will get me around 650 Euros per GPU, so 1300 in total.

Now, the W6800X Duo in question costs me 2000 Euros, coming from a German movie studio.

On my Mac I mostly do local AI, which I think would immensely benefit from the 64GB VRAM compared to 32GB, plus the W6800X Duo uses a much newer architecture than the Vega II.

Plus, I would be able to double my VRAM without having to get rid of my R4i.

What do you guys think, is it worth it? It seems like a great upgrade, and if we consider the Metal Geekbench chart, it still scores way higher than the M3 Ultra. I know, the W6800X is technically below the M3 Ultra, but that's because Geekbench only benchmarks one of the two GPUs, so in applications that can take advantage of two GPUs such as local AI, this would make it score way higher than the M3 Ultra still, correct?

Also, as from what I've seen on another thread, the W6800X Duo should also allow me to use the new Studio Display XDR in full 5k @ 120hz.

Oh and I am not planning of upgrading to a Mac Studio anytime soon. macOS still gets two years of security updates, plus I use Windows 11 Professional way more than macOS anyways, at least on my Mac Pro. Windows is also not a limitation for me.

Even though it is not made for gaming, the W6800X Duo should also perform very well in gaming, since you can compare it to the 6900 XT. Way better than the Vega II at the very least!

So I am in the process of buying another Vega II for my Mac Pro to run local LLMs.

I now have found out about the Infinity Fabric Links or Jumper or whatever they are called and now I'm wondering: Do I need the big one or the thinner one(s), I see some photos with one big jumper and some with two smaller ones, and also how do I connect these. My Mac Pro (check my profile for photos) currently has some kind of a cover over these ports. How can I remove that, and what Jumpers do I need? Can someone help me?
