If you can afford it I would suggest an upgrade. My research says this is a Nehalem CPU which while a bit old should still run Adobe products but not optimally. You will see he did get a Mac Flashed card as there are places on line that will flash your card or sell you one that is flashed. Those are the ones that are not flashed like I have but I assume you would rather have a flashed card. That down side is lack of boot up screen either verbose or the white Apple Logo will not be seen nor can you boot in rescue mode.

I will warn you that there is a down side since even though the Mac drivers actually work (on my GT630) dual DVI and HDMI work flawlessly. In my MacPro tower I have EGA GT630 Nvidia running very well with a Kingston SSD as a boot up drive. You could try an actual PC card from Nvidia.

Sorry for wasting your time.Īlthough I have an older MacPro tower 2006/2007 32BIT EFI but has a hacked Boot_EFI for making thunk calls from 64bit to 32 bit so I can Yosemite on it. "Thanks for taking the time to reply" would have sufficed. Also my D810 (also mentioned) produces 36mp files that at 75mb in size. I appreciate I could find a faster laptop or even an iMac but again not what I asked. Aperture is of no relevance to this discussion. Thanks for taking the time to reply however my issue is very specific and related to LR and whether upgrading the graphics card would improve things. I've since added an SSD and boosted RAM to 16GB, and it serves me very well still as my main Mac. I upgraded to a 2012 non-retina 13" MBP when I found the stock unit could export JPEGs from heavily adjusted 16MP RAWs in Aperture 50% faster. I used to have a 2008 2.8GHz 8-core MP with SSD, internal RAID 0, 10GB RAM, and a Radeon 4870. You might find that a newer lower-end machine outperforms your MP, at least on some tasks.įWIW, upgrading my MP's stock graphics card to the 4870 seemed to have no impact at all on Aperture performance at the time.

I used to have a 2008 2.8GHz 8-core MP with SSD, internal RAID 0, 10GB RAM, and a Radeon 4870. Any thoughts?Īlso has anyone experience of upgrading the graphics card in this way? If so do you get a boost in performance when using these two apps?

It's possible to upgrade to an AMD 2GB card which seems like a good option and much less than moving to a new Mac Pro.
RAM and CPU seem rarely over troubled and so I am thinking the graphics card is the limiting factor. I have 16GB RAM & an SSD but only an an NVIDIA 512k graphics card. My 2009 Mac Pro 4.1 is now running El Capitan and I had hoped things would improve through the use of metal but it seems my old 'pro' doesn't support this. I'm struggling with using Lightroom and to a lesser extent PS CC now that I am using a Nikon D810.
