#MAC PRO 2013 GRAPHICS CARD FULL#

It matches the W9000, which costs around ВЈ2,500 per card.

The Tahiti-based D700 is the top-of-the-range choice, with 2,048 stream processors, a 384-bit memory bus and 6GB RAM. There's no identical AMD model, although the W8000 is the closest, selling for around ВЈ1,000 each. The next step up is the Tahiti-based D500, which has 1,525 stream processors, a 384-bit memory bus and 2GB of RAM. In other words, the entry-level Mac Pro has around ВЈ1,200-worth of graphics cards. The closest AMD card available is a Firepro W7000, which has 4GB RAM and costs ВЈ600. A bit of investigation shows that the D300 is a Pitcairn-based GPU, with 1,280 stream processors, and 2GB of RAM. What the cards are capable of depend on the models you choose, but getting specs for them is hard, because the GPUs are custom parts made specifically from Apple. With the Mac Pro, OS X and Final Cut Pro X, Apple can use both GPU's simultaneously for processing. Most video editing applications are only capable, if at all, of offloading some of the work to a single GPU, using a second GPU for display only.

This is particularly true of the Mac Pro, where Apple has written Final Cut Pro X to take full advantage of the dual GPUs inside. One of the advantages that Apple has over the competition is that it can optimise its software to run on its hardware. Our benchmarks us open-source apps that are heavily dependent on the CPU, but this isn't a particularly fair test of the Mac Pro.
