Re: Anyone running 2021 on old cheesegraters?
Just chiming in. I’m using Pro Tools 2021 on my 5,1 , and thanks to Opencore running Big Sur 11.2.3 with a RX5700XT no power mods. You cannot install Big Sur past 11.2.3. on a 5,1 with opencore, it might install but after several reboots your system and possibly all connected drives will become corrupted, this is being worked on but no fix as of yet and there may not be a fix. You can run multiple systems and Windows 10. My system has been very solid at least for what I do which I’d mainly mixing. Opencore gives you a boot screen with non Apple AMD GPUs but not the new 6900s. Catalina and opencore were great, but Big Sur seems snappier. If you want to install Opencore you will want Martin Lo’s install package which is super easy to install. Join the Opencore Facebook group to get the links to his package and he has a YouTube channel. You have to turn SIP off before installing by booting into recovery mode. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2787...078/?ref=share

If you do video as well the video acceleration is amazing on Open Core. Anyway, for those who have RX 460 or newer AMD GPU, this package should gives you:

Re: Anyone running 2021 on old cheesegraters?
This is all great, super helpful info. Although, my Radeon MX 560 is not flashed for Mac, so if I need to boot into Recovery mode to disable SIP before installing OpenCore, how can I do that? I can't see Recovery mode with an unflashed GPU, correct? Although as a backup I recently ordered a flashed Nvidia GeForce GT 640, so maybe I could pop that in to do the SIP bit? Not sure which GPU would be better for me to use in general...

Boot recover boot up holding down command & R until recovery mode popups. Then the typical options, go straight to the top menu the go into terminal. commands csrutil disable Enter password, then it should show disabled.

Re: Anyone running 2021 on old cheesegraters?
2009 Mac Pro flashed to 5,1. One SSD w/ High Sierra, one w/ Mojave. Waiting for an OWC order for one of those Acceslsior PCIe SSD drives I'm going to put in my last open PCIe slot (GPU, HDX, UAD Octo already) Just wondering if with an unflashed GPU I can see the Recovery mode options...?
Another thing I am noticing on my new system - I went straight from PT 10 HD2 Accel on Mac Pro 4,1 Mavericks to this new system, as per above. I'm on Mojave now, not using the High Sierra drive anymore. I am finding myself bothered by the fonts in Pro Tools. Maybe it's a Mojave issue? Maybe my RX 560 GPU? But fonts look blurry to me, almost watery, like ink bleeding on paper or something. I'm finding it much more straining to read, and to stare at all day. Is this anything that can be fixed with settings? A different monitor? GPU? Or is this just the way it is...? Last edited by innerbooty; 06-22-2021 at 08:41 AM. |

Mojave should not be outputting that blur. I'm sure it's your video setting that is not set right. Go to System Preferences> Display> resolution, then tab into scaled and see if your monitor display ratio is listed.

Re: Anyone running 2021 on old cheesegraters?
Thanks again for this great info. Got my OWC Accelsior 1M2 1TB PCIe drive today, so that's the next project...
Meanwhile, since this is the PT 2021 cheesegrater thread -- for at least 8 years I've been happily running my 2009 4,1 cheesegrater with Pro Tools 10 HD2 Accel, with the computer sitting at my feet right under my console. I've been able to track quiet acoustic guitars sitting right here because it's so quiet. I have another machine almost identical (2 cores instead of 1) that I flashed to 5,1 that I am using for my HDX install. Since I switched over to the new machine about a week ago - PT running off Mojave 1TB SATA SSD - and started working on it, I am noticing that it is a helluva lot noisier than it's HD Accel 4,1 twin. It ramps up and down, but it gets pretty darn noisy, with a high pitched whine sometimes. It's got the HDX card (fan), RX 560 GPU (one fan), UAD Octo, 2 SSD in SATA slots, and 1 4TB SATA drive. Anyone have any thoughts and tips about cheesegrater noise with this config?? Thanks alot! |

Re: Anyone running 2021 on old cheesegraters?
lots of good folk use either or both of these to give you good info. info=control (computers, please) helps to keep and eye on processor/heatsink/bridge temps. too
of course, it depends on which fans but check this out https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control and this https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
