2x GTX285 or 1x GT 120 and 1x GTX 285

It will speed up everything else . Maybe even Resolves UI.
But where do you get the power from ?

Hackintosh? If not… where do you find card slots for storage and reference monitor?

What power supply is this and how are you hooking into your Mac?

Thx.

[Margus Voll]

yes how do you hook up ?

Or you plan just to use external power ?

It’s a Hackintosh, but it should be pretty simple to add an external powersupply to a Mac Pro. Something like this?

Thats horrible 🙂

But regarding hackintosh, your energy bill is much more efficient if you swap those old 285s for new 570s.
We are running a pair here and the results are amazing.

Hi Sascha,

Is that with Cubix? What drivers etc are you using? Are they flashed etc?

Thanks,

[Sascha Haber]

Nope, its an ASUS supercomputer mainboard with 7 PCIE 16 lanes and enough space for two 570s , one GT220 and the Decklink card.
