FLASH: This was posted yesterday on NVIDIA's site: 'NVIDIA recognizes the desire Mac users have for the greatest functionality and highest performance. And NVIDIA GPUs like the GTX 980 Ti run games like Tomb Raider much faster than the built-in AMD FirePros. But it is a way to provide a serious boost in speed to certain CUDA capable, GPU intensive apps like Blender, Octane Render and DaVinci Resolve (Noise Reduction). And even when apps don't ignore it, they don't always gain from its existence if they are CPU bound. Other eGPUs we've tested with the 2013 Mac Pro include the BizonBOX and Sonnet Breakaway (coming soon).Īn eGPU is not a perfect solution with its limited bandwidth and the fact that some apps ignore it.

There is a website (egpu.io) dedicated to telling about the eGPUs available and how to make them work with your Mac. As I write this article on our 2013 Mac Pro 8-core, I have an AKiTiO Node eGFX Box with a TITAN X GPU connected to one of the Thunderbolt 2 ports. Even if Apple wanted to upgrade them, the Mac Pro's design created a wattage ceiling.Įven though you can't upgrade the two internal FirePro GPUs, you can now attach an external PCie expansion box (eGPU). GPU - One key reason Apple is re-thinking the Mac Pro is because of the 2013 Cylinder's achilles heel: two mid-level GPUs that were proprietary, non-user serviceable, and non-upgradeable. They even have a Turnkey Processor Upgrade Program so you don't have to get into the guts of your Mac Pro. One the other end of the scale, the 719MB/S AKiTiO Palm RAID bus-powered Thunderbolt drive is perfect for 'sneaker net' as is the 374MB/S Angelbird SSD2go PKT bus-powered USB3 drive.ĬPU - Did you get the 4-core or 6-core but but found your pro apps crave 8, 10, or 12-cores? has you covered with processor upgrades. My favorite 'mad science' experiment was attaching three striped LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2 enclosures on three separate Thunderbolt 2 buses to attain 3740MB/s. Need even more storage capacity? There are many external options for the six Thunderbolt 2 ports.

Installation is a snap, though you need a T8 Torx bit for your screw driver to remove the T8 Torx screw.

Though not quite as fast as the factory blades, has the Aura SSD for Mac Pro in capacities up to 4TB. offers the Super Blade that is fully compatible including TRIM support. And Apple's flash blades are proprietary in more ways than just the connector. You can't just buy a generic M.2 flash blade to replace it.

Storage - If you ordered your Mac Pro with 256 or 512GB flash storage, you may have run out of space long ago. But you can buy memory expansion from and. Memory - If you ordered your Mac Pro with 12 or 16GB of RAM, you can't buy any more from Apple. UPGRADES FOR THE 2013 MAC PRO 'TURBO TUBE'

But what can do you do in the meantime to boost the performance of the 2013 Mac Pro 'Turbo Tube' you have now?
