Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Gigabyte GeForce GT 710 1GB Graphic Card - PCI Express 2.0 X8 Interface - GV-N710D5-1GL REV2.0 by Leon Johnsson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works in 2012 Mac Pro 5.1

Installed in my 2012 Mac Pro and actually works quite well. Native Mojave/Metal support oobScored 1200 in Geekbench Metal test. Opencl test not running. Plays YouTube at 1080p/60 with no issues. Animations in macOS are pretty smooth. Works in Final Cut Pro. What else can you ask? Well, a lot. It works well but noticeably slow. I was hoping to pair it with an AMD 7950 or GTX 680 to get extra monitors, save some power, reduce heat and noise, and only use a precious PCI slot, but that just doesn't work with any other card . It only works alone. I don't know why but I've tried many different things but failed. I had to resort to my rx 560 as an add-on card, which works great with a gtx 680 or amd 7950, but occupies two slots, draws a whopping 75 watts from the PCI slot, and generates reasonable heat. Maybe I'll try the GT 730 next time? Still no room for my NVME SSD. Sad.
