#Mac pro 2013 graphics card upgrade full

Where I work we have 1 Mac Pro (2013) with the 4-core CPU and two D700 and 1 Mac Pro (2013) with the 12-core CPU and two D700 they never had hardware problems that needed assistance or replacements from Apple, but they do render horizontal glitches (green lines, not red) when the temperature is too high. Oh and Apple charge £325 per D700 card, and of course there are two. But it hasn't turned out to be much of an upgrade.! I just got this machine secondhand of course, as an 'upgrade' from my D500 6-core. This is basically the core functionality required for my job, and it's what I need the power of the Mac Pro for. Thanks Romain – rendering at 1 or 2fps is not a possibility for me (nor do I expect for most people!) – I transcode on set as a DIT so I need render speeds of up to 80fps as I have a lot of data to transcode. Then I convert the final result to Prores. When dealing with super hardcore un-moveable deadlines (so most days!), I’ll render a dpx sequence or something that gives me a chance to only re-render the bad frames. And I nearly threw the computer out the window about a thousand times.

Only solutions is to render at 1 or 2fps, push the fan to full speed (about 1900 rpm) to keep temperature low and making sure I write to a super fast drive (tb2 ssd drive). Romain Kedochim wrote:Same issue but on the 12-core version.
