You should be able to use your Apple gear as long as it helps you remain productive and meets your needs, upgrading only as necessary.

There are very few, if any, generations of technologycomputers, let alone an Apple computer, that have been afforded the degree of versatility and third-party hardwaresoftware supportfunctionality that the current era of tech has extended over to the first gen Mac Pros.

The card uses 225W under full load, which shouldnt be a problem for the Mac Pros 980W power supply.

Even under full load, this is still within the designed power capacity of the power rails.

SteamVR doesnt pick up on the Oculus rift yet, though Im certain that if I had the HTC Vive, itd work just fine.

750 Ti Windows 10 Off An

For now, I dual boot Windows 10 off an SSD, play around on the Mac Pro 2,1 via the Oculus app.

It took a bit of messing around with the Oculus app to get it working on my Mac Pro as it needed SSE 4.2.

It was easy to trick the installerfind an old version, and simply update it, and it works.

Realistically, were playing a VR game on a mirrored 1200 x 1080 display.

Its really not difficult for this Mac Pro to crunch out such a resolution, on medium settings.

The wow factor of it being in VR, however, surprised me, that it even worked.

Its so useful, but during heavier scenes, it can drop in performance.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC does take advantage of this card, but I havent really done much in Adobes suite, aside form Photoshop.

Its all playable.

The dual x5365 CPUs dont hold the card back as much as youd think, even as it sits on a PCIe v1.1 bus.

It benches out at 93-95 of its full capable speed.

There are a few other factors in this machines speed, such as having completely matched RAM, a 960 GB SSD RAID array comprised of four 240 GB SSD, and simply keeping the insides clean.

While the market value of 1,1 and 2,1 Mac Pros are plummeting (and quite frankly, nonexistent, if at all), the components that are available to this thing are quite generous.

As old as the Mac Pro 1,1 and 2,1 towers are, theyre very much worth investing in.

As of the time of this article, cryptocurrency mining has sharply driven up the prices of the GPU, so chances are, for the price point, Id suggest a 970980.

This can either be done via VNC if you have another Mac, or if you have the original GPU, can be plugged in, booted up with the original GPU, the driver being selected, then the machine being shut down, and the new GPU being plugged in.
