  FCP X Lagging What Graphics Card to Use?

  Posted by Timothy Hopper on January 8, 2013 at 6:36 pm

  Final Cut pro x lags and I wanted to know how to make it go faster.

  Here is the stats on my early 2009 Mac Pro:

  Processor 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
  Memory 16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
  Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
  Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)

  Here is a graphcs card I was thinking about and not sure if it is compatible with my type of mac pro.
  AMD (ATI) Radeon HD 6750M graphics card

  i want it to run as smooth as possible.

  Let me know if there is more I can do besides just updating the graphics card.

  Really I dont know much about hardware compatibility and would like some advice if possible. Thank you.

  FWIW, I upgraded to an ATI Radeon HD 5870 in my old Mac Pro, same RAM as yours but with the 2.26 processors, and it made a huge difference.
