Temperatures were about the same as before, and the 670 managed its fan just fine (it’s quieter than the 5870, which made me nervous). All my non-game programs worked as well as before.

I’d heard people saying that Steam didn’t work with PC GPUs - it did. This isn’t really a reflection on either card.Įverything else worked fine. If I had to cork sniff, I’d say the 5870 was more consistent - the 670 seemed to do a little better as long as you were standing still, and a little worse when you turned. It did nothing, actually the game was still jumpy. My wrapped version of Skyrim was the only game here that wasn’t really playable on the 5870 at 2560/Ultra, so I was excited to see what the 670 did. Weirdly, Diablo 3 didn’t improve at all - you’d think whatever worked for SC2 would work for D3, but no. It gets jumpy with a huge map and the fastest game speed. Cities in Motion was, I think, slightly slower on the 670, but played fine. Dirt 2 ran great on both cards, although it remains a super-annoying game. L4D2 did have a weird bit of stutter when levels started. Source games don’t really tax the 5870, so it’s hard to see much improvement in practical play, but the 670 was about 15% faster across Portal 2 and L4D2. Then I tried Civ 5 not only was it slower on the 670, it was kind of glitchy. So that was cool you can see that Barefeats got the biggest improvement on a 570/580 from SC2 at those settings. Starcraft 2 gained about 10 FPS (61 vs 50, average) on the 670, tested playing a Bly v. Everything was tested at 2560×1440 at the highest detail settings.

Cinebench is pretty dated these days, but the numbers went down! My precious numbers! Well, Kepler drivers are immature. Check the GFX details the 5870 is the first result, and the 670 is the second result. So, here are benchmarks and observations. So I found a fix from Netkas, installed it, and hey, liftoff. I went to run benchmarks, and LuxMark couldn’t load. In that case, it’s worth keeping things OEM or finding a flashed Nvidia card that gives you the boot screen.Īnyhow, it worked just fine. The obvious problem is that if you find yourself looking at the startup manager a lot, this is a bad solution - you no longer get that. With the fast SSD booting, it was just, like, “push button, wait 20 seconds, be at desktop”. You don’t get the grey boot screen (the video drivers loads when the OS does, so it appears to boot straight to the desktop). Maybe the fan did a little something, but it wasn’t worth the noise. This pushed a lot of air, but it was really noisy, and it didn’t seem to make much difference the only thing making much heat in the PCI bay is the GPU (the rear hard drives being idle most of the time), and both the 5870 and 670 keep their heat fairly contained in those plastic shrouds, and push it out the back. You can see that I also put in a little PCI fan (powered from the spare optical drive SATA port, and a SATA-to-Molex adapter). These are standard parts, of course, so if it didn’t that would mean I’m really dumb. The 670 dropped right into the 5870’s spot, and hooked up to its power plugs.

Installing it is pretty straight-forward, if you’ve ever done computer stuff at all. Here’s my Mac Pro as it sat, with the 5870.

The 670 is actually a little cheaper, too. The drivers in Mac OS are still pretty immature, so my goal was to get equal-or-slightly-better performance for now, and way better performance in Windows.

The top OEM card for the Mac Pro is the Radeon 5870, which is a good card but also pretty old, so - on paper - the 670 is a nice upgrade. I bought the 2GB EVGA 670 FTW, mostly since that has two six-pin power plugs. I thought I’d try dropping a GeForce GTX 670 into my Mac Pro, since apparently 10.8 can drive it (you just won’t get the EFI boot screens). I replaced my Pro with a MacBook Air and a custom gaming PC, but I think the 4,1/5,1 Pro remains a really good computer. Googling around suggests that the 10×0 cards work fine in Mac Pros too.
#CUDA DRIVER AFTER EFFECTS MAC AIR UPDATE#
So I thought I’d update it just to say that I sold the Mac Pro with an Nvidia card to my dad, and it has been working fine through the various OS upgrades. Update from 2017: This post is five years old now, but lots of people still find it through Google.
