Best RX 580 GPU

PostSun Sep 13, 2020 5:32 pm

I've been away for a while, and I now see the writing on the wall that it's time to switch to an AMD GPU to replace my GTX 980.

I'm looking at the RX 580 line of cards, but there is a dizzying array of options. Which variant is the best fit for the Mac Pro 5,1? I'm eyeing the Sapphire Pulse ($220) or XFX ($190) cards. Thanks.

The best implementation would be the Sapphire Nitro. Pulse is also Ok. I wouldn't go with XFX, there were some issues with their cards. You could end up with one from a bad batch.

If you want somewhat the same performance but a newer generation with lower power consumption, the RX 5500XT is an option too. RX590 somtimes sold at RX580 prices too.

If you want better performance, Vega56 or 5600XT. (And the higher end models of course but for more money).

Just a note about using the Sapphire RX580 in a 5,1. This version of the 580 is just wide enough that it actually causes the fan to gently rub against whatever card is installed next to it in Slot 2.

In my 5,1 I had to use a little wad of Kapton tape as a “shim” to keep the 580’s fan from rubbing up against the backside of my ATTO NT11 10Gig Ethernet card.

The Sapphire Radeon VII has no issues with this, and is a much more powerful card (although it does require the Pixlas power supply mod, which is super easy to do)

Great, I will look into the RX 5500XT as well. The most popular one on Amazon is the XFX version, and I wonder if this model has the same problems you mentioned as the RX580?

I should mention my price point is ~$200. Not interested in any power supply mods at this time.

Regardless of if they share the same physical issues as the Sapphire 580, it’s my understanding based on all my research I did on the AMD cards (I switched away from NVIDIA cards at the start of the pandemic) is that XFX cards are fairly notorious for being unreliable. I’ve only used Sapphire cards though, so I can’t personally vouch for them either way.

only the reference sapphire pulse RX580 is recommended from apple
and fit in a realy 5.1 cMP without blocking PCIe slot 2 and do not need a power modification!

Thanks for your help, everyone. I have a Sapphire Pulse RX580 on order, and will be upgrading my primary system to Mojave and DR16. For the time being, my secondary system will remain with Sierra, DR15, and a GTX 980.

You'll like it. I got the Sapphire Pulse 580 and enjoy it.
It makes my Mac mini work with Resolve, but if I need the power, I move it to the iMac and it flies.
No, an iGPU is not enough, and you can't use HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2 in the free version.

Its also a very nicely designed card. I did stare at mine for like 30mins when I first got it :)). Still chugs along in my second system. The 5700XT Pulse is uglier :(.

So with the beauty contest decided I'd like to know whether there are some arguments to go for the ugly card in my 5.1 Mac Pro. I am undecided between those two cards and since you have both you might have some insights for me. At present I have a Titan X and I work mainly on 2k timelines with 4k Braw or 2k ProRes (High Sierra, Resolve 16.2.6).

Thanks,
Johannes

Uhm. If you mean the uglier 5700XT Pulse then yeah, there will be a significant performance boost. If you mean the 580 then no, TFLOP wise these are somewhat the same with the 580 having 4GB less ram. If yours is the Titan X Maxwell version.

we are talking about a apple macpro here!

and here is a RX580 faster than a 5700XT (very bad driver)
also the 5700 need catalina (the worst apple system in the last 10 years)

best go with mojave and a RX580 or a vega or radeonVII (needs pixlas mode)

sorry, if my post was a bit cryptic. I meant 5700XT vs RX 580.

If I understood correctly you say the 580 is on par with the Titan Maxwell (but 4 GB less) and the 5700XT is much better. Correct?

So the advantage of the 580 would be: price, works with Mojave, no issues with slot width, more or less same performance as now

The 5700XT would be a performance boost, but I need to hack my Mac Pro to Catalina and it might be difficult to fit it into slot 1 without blocking slot 2 of my Mac Pro 5.1

I keep on thinking and watching threads ...

Thanks again.

no performance boost with 5700XT > slower
and a must with the worst catalina with the 5700XT

but if you want self experiments > allways go with the reference modell in a cMP !

I'm not an MAC expert so I'm going by Windows numbers here. The 5700XT is much better than a 580.
But I wouldn't trade a 12GB Titan X for a 580.

Reading about this on some forums, the only issue with the 5700XT as with some other powerful cards is powering it and some have done it with SATA to 6pin adapters like here : https://www.reddit.com/r/macpro/comment ... t_to_work/

You could also try a 5600XT. From what I understand these work better regarding power usage.

Ok dude, I said I'm going with Windows numbers and what some of these guys say : https://barefeats.com/cmp-5700-xt-vs-other-gpus.html.

And I'm sure whatever the issues with the drivers are, with the introduction of the Navi based 5600M these will be eventually and probably solved.

I have no idea who paid for what. I was agreeing with you. I went with Windows numbers and what these people have. I have NO IDEA how this works on mac pro. But with the release of 5600M which is a navi based card, I'm sure the drivers will eventually be fixed... Based on logic. Nothing more.

the AMD drivers for the radeonVII working good in mojave,
and are also worst in catalina and big sur!

Cool. I would love to see Apple come close to what AMD or NVIDIA have regarding GPU side. My bet is it won't be great.

Could be, also could be that contracts were made years in advance. Maybe thats why Apple kept offering inferior Intel CPUs (like 2-3gens back) to what Intel has currently on offer. Old as dirt stock?

We shall see on the Apple Silicon.

Hi there.
A colleague of mine installed the 5800XT and wrote the following in my forum.
Hi there,
In the meantime I've worked out a lot. (...) The Beta 17.xx (several times) Reinstalled ... nothing helped. Then I installed Reesolve 16.2.6 again. Unfortunately, everything didn't help much ...
In my desperation I installed an older driver for the 5600XT graphics card today (as a new installation). The start of DR is now about 30sec. and until I can edit it is another 30 seconds.
Another "oddity" has struck me in the meantime. When I start the stabilizer, it takes 20-30 seconds for the first clip to start.
Since the 17 beta runs better on my other (ancient) PC with an RX560, I suspect that Resolve probably has problems with the 5600XT.


Is that so?

Hello,
I ve recently changed to a MacPro5,1 2010 sold with a Sapphire RX580gpu. I m only running Resolve12.5 which is fine for me now. Getting the ERROR message: CUDA driver missing!
my previous MacPro3,1 had a Nvidia GeForce GTX680 which I still have. That system was ok, it ran 12.5 importing 2k just fine. I m okay not having 4K capability for now.

I ve found out that I will need to possibly update my OpenCL? There are SO many RadeonRX580 units !! I understand Radeon licenses different vendors with various cooling systems, apparently CUDA drivers are only used in Nvidia units. ANY IDEA HOW TO GET THE UPDATED DRIVER for this RX580?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just trying to use Resolve running 12.5 or a bit higher version /

Nvidia cards and CUDA are no longer supported in any version of macOS after High Sierra. The GTX680, confusingly, is one of the very few Nvidia cards that was supported in macOS after High Sierra, which is probably why it worked "just fine" for you before.

But if you're not using an Nvidia GPU (e.g. the RX580, which is an AMD GPU), you dont need CUDA, anyway. I'm guessing you did a Migration Assistant of your old mac to the "new" Mac with the RX580, which is why you might be seeing those errors on a machine that no longer has a Nvidia card in it. I'd do a total uninstall all of the old Nvidia/CUDA drivers.

I ve recently changed to a MacPro5,1 2010 sold with a Sapphire RX580gpu. I m only running Resolve12.5 which is fine for me now. Getting the ERROR message: CUDA driver missing!
my previous MacPro3,1 had a Nvidia GeForce GTX680 which I still have. That system was ok, it ran 12.5 importing 2k just fine. I m okay not having 4K capability for now.

I ve found out that I will need to possibly update my OpenCL? There are SO many RadeonRX580 units !! I understand Radeon licenses different vendors with various cooling systems, apparently CUDA drivers are only used in Nvidia units. ANY IDEA HOW TO GET THE UPDATED DRIVER for this RX580?


Nvidia cards and CUDA are no longer supported in any version of macOS after High Sierra. The GTX680, confusingly, is one of the very few Nvidia cards that was supported in macOS after High Sierra, which is probably why it worked "just fine" for you before.


Mel,
THANKS so much for that detailed answer! I thought I should just uninstall Resolve12.5 also. I will try to locate the Nvidia CUDA files.



But if you're not using an Nvidia GPU (e.g. the RX580, which is an AMD GPU), you dont need CUDA, anyway. I'm guessing you did a Migration Assistant of your old mac to the "new" Mac with the RX580, which is why you might be seeing those errors on a machine that no longer has a Nvidia card in it. I'd do a total uninstall all of the old Nvidia/CUDA drivers.

As noted, CUDA doesn't work on Mac past High Sierra.

If you had CUDA previously installed on your system, after updating past High Sierra, CUDA will still try to launch at startup and give you the popup warning message. It is safe to ignore that message.

But if you want it to go away, remove CUDA from System Preferences. You should be able to do that by right clicking the CUDA icon and selecting remove. There will likely also be an NVIDIA Driver Manager app, Remove that as well. Should look something like this:

You can remove all CUDA related files on your Mac by running the following commands, one by one, in Terminal (or if you're more savvy with shell scripts, just put all these lines into a standalone shell script, then chmod it so its executable, then run the script):

Code: Select all
sudo rm -r "/Library/Extensions/CUDA.kext"
sudo rm -rf "/Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework"
sudo rm -r "/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nvidia.CUDASoftwareUpdate.plist"
sudo rm -r "/Library/PreferencePanes/CUDA Preferences.prefPane"
sudo rm -rf "/System/Library/StartupItems/CUDA/"
sudo rm -rf "/Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA-*"
sudo rm -rf "/usr/local/cuda"


It's been years since I had to do this, but I assume this still works.

The free AppCleaner should do as well.
No, an iGPU is not enough, and you can't use HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2 in the free version.
