June 30, 20205 yr Mac Pro 6.1 (2013) This computer has 2 Graphics cards or boards know as A & B - What I want to know is can one be upgraded without upgrading the other - or - Are A & B a matching pairs like the Mac Pro Memory. Also if anyone else in Pattaya June/July 2020 who has spare parts for this machine Please let me know. At the moment mine is down, also if you have any combination of a Mac Pro 2013 you would like to sell (working or not) at a resonable S/H price let me know.
June 30, 20205 yr Most likely they need to be matched and the D500 is going to be the best. Quote Buying used Mac Pro 2013s Most forums when this question is posed is don't. More informative content best is it use an external GPU
June 30, 20205 yr Author enlighten me we are talking Apple/Mac not PC - how would you feed into machine USB Thunderbolt I think would have to remove existing GPU

No GPU removal required, you just need the correct OS Version to support the eGPU. From the information replacing the internal GPU/s is not efficient as they have a reputation of frying themselves and being slow compared to an external Solution.

July 15, 20205 yr Author As far as I am now aware external GPU's can only be attached to a working machine as 'code' has to be inserted in 'terminal' so it reconises the external GPU. In my case internal GPU not working, so cannot just plug in an external GPU and hope it works it won't. But back to my original question can you mix D300 with D500 (A & B) or (B & A) ..... NO IT-House in Pantip Plaza (1) Patunam. will renovate/restore AMD D300 or D500 graphics cards for about 12,000 Baht each. You can courier the cards only or the whole computer to him.
July 26, 20205 yr Author looking to buy Mac Pro 6.1 (2013) in working or faulty none working order, for parts.
July 28, 20205 yr Have a word with this guy http://www.machomeservice.com He will give you an honest opinion over the phone, you can send the computer via Kerry. His English isn’t great but I find him a diamond. He has lots of retro Mac parts and refurb machines
