Apple Macbook Pro With Amd Radeon Video Card

When I had to replace the old video card for new Radeon RX 590 model in my wife’s 2012 MacPro, the up graded required a 1.4 DisplayPort to Apple Mini DisplayPort the adapter so that she could continue using her Apple 27-inch Cine-Display. Having done this exact conversion to my own MacPro with the same arrangement the year before, I found that StarTech brand adapter to be a good reliable avenue to go.

I upgraded from an AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 to Radeon Pro VII. I can tell the difference right away, although my system has a few outdated parts now, this is an excellent step forward to upgrading my entire system.

I just bought the new Apple silicone MacBook Pro. But unfortunately there’s no SD Card slot. This works perfectly as expected.

So, after switching out everything from Win10 to my MacBook Pro, I'm heading out to the field and need a way to get my SD card images into my MBP. Since the MBP does not have an SD card reader, I just knew Apple would have a dongle for this, I mean really (!?). And so they do. No problems with it to date which I expect with Apple products. Just wish they'd have included an SD card reader slot into the machine.

Apple MacBook Pro's have always delivered, and this one is no exception.

Just installed it will a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and Radeon rx 580 gpu. Haven’t had any issues and it has been running smoothly and fast. No complaints at all.

Easy means of porting video output from video camera to Apple MacBook Pro

I bought two of these to use with my MacBook Pro M1 Max as a video editing workstation. ***Note that the only way I was able to display 4K at 60 hertz on both monitors simultaneously was to plug BOTH monitors directly to the MacBook via USB-C to DisplayPort cables. Once I did that and stopped trying to get them to work through the Thunderbolt 4 Dock I have, everything looks excellent.*** The resolution is great, as I can have Premiere Pro open on both monitors with one of the two showing the footage in the program window at close to actual size, which helps to see all the detail of the 4K image while editing. Colors look really good, and while this isn't a reference monitor designed for color grading Hollywood movies, it's plenty accurate for my videography work. Aside from video editing, text is super sharp and crisp, and photos and websites look excellent. Since it's an LCD, black levels are never going to look as inky black as they do on an OLED display, but that's to be expected. You can always get a small OLED TV to use as a makeshift client reference monitor. I originally wanted the Apple Studio Display, but at $1600 for one monitor, it was way too expensive for me. On Black Friday, I was able to snag TWO of these Asus ProArt 27 displays for under $800. That's less than half of ONE Apple display! Sure, it's not made of shiny aluminum, but who cares? Image quality is all I need, and this delivers in spades. Plus, they come with VESA mounting holes in the back as standard, so I was able to place them on a two-monitor VESA mounting arm and free up a bunch of space on my desk. I know the Apple display is 5K and this one is 4K, but two 4K monitors side by side get me way more resolution and work space than one 5K monitor. All in all, I heartily recommend this Asus ProArt 4K monitor to anyone looking for a high-res 27 LCD for content creation and general computing on a Mac (as long as you plug it in directly and not through a docking station).

I use all the connections with my Apple MACbook Pro. I do a lot of video and audio editing and use external SSDs, speed works well in edits as if the files were native to the internal drive.

My MacBook Pro video card died meaning either spend $700 replacing the logic board (and replace a failing SSD) or look for other options. Luckily the Mac Mini could work for my situation. Super easy setup I was up and running in minutes with my backup/restore.
