save me!You'll have to provide some details about your Apollo hardware. that's all i care about working right now! Pleeeeeeeease. Something is not allowing the thunderbolt part to recognize the UAD.
USB C PCI CARD FOR MAC PRO DRIVERS
what am i doing wrong that it doesn't see it? i installed the drivers for the card, plugged in the two 6 pin cables to power the thunderbolt part of the card, and installed the drivers for the UAD. i got the usb-c working with no problem, but need the tb to work with my apollo tb interface (the first thunderbolt one).
USB C PCI CARD FOR MAC PRO PRO
Putting a PCIe 3.0 device in a PCIe 2.0 slot gives you PCIe 2.0 performance, so putting the x4 Titan Ridge card in the Mac Pro is 4 lanes of 500MByte/sec = 2000MByte/sec or 2GByte/sec as a maximum.Ĭan anyone help me with the step-by-step to get the titan ridge card working on my mac. PCIe 3.0 lanes are 8GT/sec, 8Gbit/sec, 128b/130b encoding = 985 MByte/sec So, an x16 slot is 0.5GByte/sec x 16 = 8GByte/sec. That's why I write things as GByte/sec, Gbit/sec, etc.Įach PCIe 2.0 lane is 5GT/sec, 5Gbit/sec, 8b10b encoding = 500MByte/sec. The Mac Pro's graphic card already takes up one x16 slot so in theory (I guess) it would be best to connect the Titan Ridge(PCIe 3.0 x4) card to the Mac Pro's 2nd x16 slot in order to get the most out of the thunderbolt card in real world performance? I would assume that the data transfer would still be pretty fast even with the limit.This is a place where capitalization matters. From what I read, x16 PCIe slots are capped at 8gb/s and 4gb/s for the x4 slots. There are two x16 slots and two x4 slots.
USB C PCI CARD FOR MAC PRO UPDATE
IMO, Apple should go back to the Cheese-grater case design(or similar) and just update all the components. Hopefully this discovery is a sign that Apple will allow add-on TB cards in the new Mac Pro if anyone needed more that what will come standard.

The software and hardware install seems straight forward but may look confusing to some people being that the video explain a lot for details about the whole process. The Mac Pro's graphic card already takes up one x16 slot so in theory (I guess) it would be best to connect the Titan Ridge(PCIe 3.0 x4) card to the Mac Pro's 2nd x16 slot in order to get the most out of the thunderbolt card in real world performance?

From what I read, x16 PCIe slots are capped at 8gb/s and 2gb/s for the x4 slots. Looking into the PCIe 2.0 bandwidth inside the 2009-2012 Mac Pro's If I start the journey, I'll post updates here, and of course there'll be an article with the gory details.Can’t wait to here your experiences!!
USB C PCI CARD FOR MAC PRO PLUS
When booted into High Sierra, it's those first 3 plus Logic Pro X. I normally run Win10 with DaVinci Resolve, Reaper, Photoshop and Cakewalk by BandLab.

If I start the journey, I'll post updates here, and of course there'll be an article with the gory details. An advantage of sticking with Tbolt2 is that usefully-long cables are available at reasonable prices. Optionally, a less-costly combination is a Tbolt2 dock to provide USB, ($100-to-$200) and a 2-slot Sonnet Echo Express PCIe at ~$400. For external PCIe slots, the 3-slot Sonnet Echo Express III is ~$900 (ouch!) I would like to put my UAD-2 PCIe Duo, my Inateck USB 3.0 card, and a (don't have it yet) Lynx AES16e-50 card in an external PCIe case connected via Thunderbolt. The Tbolt3 USB-C could have a ~$70 Tbolt3-to-Tbolt2 adapter to allow use of "less expensive" Tbolt2 docks and PCIe external cases. Inbound, there are some NVMe devices that could saturate the Thunderbolt connection. Thunderbolt encoding is an efficient 64b/66b implementation so the Mac Pro outbound would never saturate the link even with Tbolt2. The PCIe 2.0 slots in the Mac Pro are good for 5GT/sec per lane, which is ~5Gbit/sec with 8b/10b encoding which yields 500MByte/sec per lane, 2000MByte/sec total. TRT card is ~$100, takes a PCIe 4x slot Right now, in my head, I am chasing through the issues of doing the Titan Ridge Thunderbolt (TRT) in my 2010 12-core Mac Pro.
