If you still have your warranty intact, it is a good idea to visit an Apple store or an authorized dealer for repairs. These are all symptoms of a graphics card issue. No video display on the computer screen, even though the computer is plugged into a power socket and switched on.ģ. A frequently crashing system, scrambled video or distorted screen.Ģ. Known symptoms of a graphics card issue could include:ġ. So what happens if your computer has still not been fixed? The deadline of Dec 31st, 2016 has come and gone. All you had to do was visit an authorized dealer or technician, or a nearby Apple store, and the system would be fixed for free. This issue made the malfunctioning computers show the same symptoms namely, distorted videos or no video showing at all, or an unexpected system restart or reboot.Īpple mitigated this issue by offering to repair all systems free of charge until Dec 31st 2016. It affected almost all computers sold between Feb 2011 and Dec 2013. If you’re juggling tasks that could benefit from a faster GPU but just want something better than the default (and frankly underpowered) Radeon Pro 580X, the W5700X might fit the bill.2011 saw a well-documented and widely criticized graphics card failure on the MacBook Pro. And it’s technically superior to some degree - it’s based on AMD’s current-generation Navi architecture with features like native HEVC decoding. However, the W5700X is arguably a much better value with most of the performance at a quarter of the upgrade price. If you rely on GPU-heavy tasks, it’s still the best choice. The Radeon Pro Vega II is more powerful overall with 14.1 teraflops (versus 9.4) and twice the RAM. The W5700X also has some potential advantages, including the quiet MPX module design as well as the inclusion of four Thunderbolt 3 ports. It’s been possible to use the gamer-oriented Radeon RX 5700 XT in Macs with macOS Catalina, but there are no guarantees of support with third-party cards. You can also buy the card by itself for $1,000 if you’re upgrading after the fact. They’re still not cheap upgrades at $600 and $1,600 respectively, but they’re far less expensive than dropping $2,400 on a lone Radeon Pro Vega II. As 9to5Mac noticed, you can now configure the Mac Pro with one or two Radeon Pro W5700X video cards, each with 16GB of memory. Apple has teased the prospect of a more affordable GPU upgrade for the Mac Pro for months, and now it’s finally here.
