Hey guys, I have ben thing about this upgrade for a while after the Dual Xeon X5680 upgrades I did a few months ago. Sadly the video footage was lost of the CPU upgrade as my Phone had been lifted the day after filming the video and I can say they are probably gone for good. Anyways this was a Catalina upgrade very much a Painless upgrade and the 5700 XT was really a plug and play card with no Drivers need just booted up first go. Maybe the last upgrade will be the RAM, I may upload this but I doubt it will be all that interesting. ======================================================================== Steps. 1. Download Catalina Patcher ( this is needed as the 5700 XT is only supported on MacOs Catalina 10.15.5 2. remove you none EFI Nvidia / AMD GPU&(this seems to be optional as the Catalina installer dose a Direct install from the desktop but you will be flying blind if you don&use the EFI card. 4. Now you can do the Catalina Installer 5. once the installation is complete you can installed the 5700 XT 6. This should be a plug and play method ======================================================================== The current Specs of the Mac Pro: CPU: Dual Intel X5680,s 6 Core 12 threads each both running 3.33Ghz Maximum turbo frequency 3.06GHz (1 or 2 cores) 3.46 GHz (3 or more cores) RAM: 40GB 1066Mhz DDR3 Storage: x2 500GB HDD General Storage, x1 200GB SSD for windows 10 boot, x1 2TB HDD used for Windows Games and a 500GB NVME SSD for Mac OS Catalina....
