Upgradable GPUs

[Ridley Walker]

I upgraded my macPro 5,1 to a flashed GTX 570, a roll-your-own Fusion drive and have all PCI slots full.

The new MacPro wold mean everything is a peripheral, lots of USB and TB Cables.

[Chris Kenny] “Upgradability, at this level, is merely a price calculation.”

Of course if everyone did that cycle the market would flood every two years with yesterday machines, so the price won’t hold. How much do you think my late 2009 MacPro is now worth? Compared to the money it makes, I would be a fool to sell it now.

In Australia we pay a much higher price for all things computer so a 5 year cycle for Mac gear is required for the maths to work.
