Take a look here.  It looks like you should be able to boot from one card, and then start up a vm using the second card, if the stars all align and the moon is in the right phase.  (IE if a certain number of non-negotiable hardware requirements are met.  I'm not yet sure if the mac pro you are referencing meets any of them)

If these are your processors, you might be in luck.

Looks like I should have VT-x which was my main concern.

Hey do those mac pros do SLI?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I'm not sure.  I'm going to guess no,  but I'm basing that on my gut nothing else.

Not bad for $20.00 imo.  I could part it out for more than that.

It doesn't do anything to abbot though does it?  I haven't ran abbot for ages so I'm unsure.

It is weirdly tough to find a dual-socket system that does.

I've gotten this,  for 20.00 and in the past I've gotten a 2011 MBP for 15,  an hp generation 1 i3 laptop for 5,  and a surface pro 3 with a cracked screen but otherwise functional for 20.00 from that one in the past 6 years since I moved to my current area.  I love that Salvation Army. I think it pulls from Gross Pointe.

Probably going to do some light gaming occasionally but more than likely it's going to mostly be running as a docker machine for wotlk,  project-topaz,  and a lamp stack.  SSH'ing into the machine and executing tensor-flow projects through the 1050ti.  That kind of thing.

Oh sorry you meant what OS,  probably Manjaro Linux for it.

I also saw a bunch of posts on the mac pro forums, talking about graphics cards and graphic card upgrades for mac os.

It looks like the mac specific boot firmware for the graphics cards is a fairly common issue.  One of the regular recommendations was that you move the old card with the boot options into pci slot 2 or so, and connect it's video output to a spare monitor, or to a secondary input on the main monitor.   With the new card in slot 1 (or zero, depending on how they number things) to run the main monitor.

Just an addon..  Those recommendations were for "vanilla" os boot choices.  IE mac os with boot camp, that sort of thing.

Vanilla is boring.  Time to see what kind of trouble I can get into with it today.

Just got it setup.  Turns out it supports Vt-x but not Vt-d so I can't pass through pci cards,  so I just pulled the GT630 and am booting blind now with Manjaro Linux.  Probably could figure out some other way to blacklist the thing once it was booted but this works.  Got it compiling a few server apps now.  The thing is fantastic.

Did you have to look at anything special when settling or did you just go to Walmart and grab the cheapest 50" 4k?

I remember when I was shopping I looked in to using a TV and was told normal TVs wouldnt work well as monitors and to look for a few specific things(I forget what they were). Eventually it turned out a TV in the size I was looking for would cost not a whole lot less than an actual computer monitor, so I went for the monitor.


I ordered the cheapest one on Amazon. Tongue Which, because it was prime day was actually a pretty nice Toshiba. And it works great. IIRC, back in the day you'd have to look for a TV with a "gaming mode" setting or something like that or else there would be a input delay, but AFAIK that isn't a concern anymore.

People are talking about what they use and where they got em.. I saw an online add for Richards Electronics in NY.. Phillips 4k 49" for $399, wi-fi and UHD DD Profile and Audio capable... bought 2... delivery guy DROPPED one on my porch and left before I could stop him (I was home).. Richards paid for the return and replacement.. when I checked the dropped one it had a HUGE florescent green splotch in the middle of the screen from where it impacted on the corner of the porch. These TVs are awesome

Cool.

I won't have to replace my 43" any time soon, but its nice to know if I had a little space I could upgrade. Actually that would make the 3x screen of my dreams setup much easier(50" 4k TVs can be had for $225!)

Of course I would need room for a separate "gaming desk" apart from my "everything else" desk, but dare to dream.

Dang yo, I’m playing on a piece of shite made from 3 Frankenstein computers..  rocking the sweet 19” widescreen from 2011.  OG shit.  Don’t duck wit it. Though, I did just score a sweet nvidea 560gtx on CL for $25! 

What techies know how I get win7 64 to notice all my ram with fucking up my bios?  The base pc is an older dell i7 intel board.  I got 16g, but only uses 8 of 16 in msconfig.  So it sees all of it but only uses half.  Sorry for the hi Jack.
