The Radeon Pro W6800X Duo is $4600 while configuring and $5000 when purchased separately.Īpple allows installing two of each of the above mentioned graphics cards inside the Mac Pro. AMD's Infinity Fabric Link connects the two GPU to each other with a bandwidth of 84GB/s in each direction. This truly impressive card features two W6800X GPU on the same board, with each having 32GB of GDDR6 for a total of 64GB video memory. Lastly, there's the Radeon Pro W6800X Duo. The Radeon Pro W6800X is a $2400 option while configuring or $2800 if purchased separately. The Radeon Pro W6800X also comes with 32GB of GDDR6 memory. It has the same 60 compute units and 3840 stream processors with a slightly lower 2087MHz boost clock speed. Next is the Radeon Pro W6800X, which is based on the Radeon RX 6800. The Radeon Pro W6900X is a $5600 extra option while configuring or $6000 when purchased separately. However, one big difference is that the Radeon Pro W6900X has 32GB of GDDR6 memory, twice that of the RX 6900XT. Based on the Radeon RX 6900XT gaming GPU, the Radeon Pro W6900X features the same 80 compute units, 5120 stream processors, and a slightly lower 2171MHz boost clock speed. The Radeon Pro W6900X is the flagship single GPU option. The Mac Pro will now offer users a choice of either a Radeon Pro W6900X, a Radeon Pro W6800X, or a Radeon Pro 6800X Duo in addition to the existing 580X, W5500X, and W5700X options. The company has introduced AMD's latest generation RDNA 2 based graphics cards, replacing the previous Vega II offerings.

A big heat-sink for improving passive cooling rounds things out.Apple today updated the graphics card options for its Mac Pro workstation computer.

That's used to split out a further x8 PCIe lanes, which Apple uses for routing DisplayPort video, Thunderbolt, and other purposes. Not only do they include a dedicated PCI Express x16 connection for the graphics card, plus 300+ watts of power, they have a secondary, card-edge connector too. Unlike its "trash can" predecessor, which made a bet – and, time revealed, a losing one – on external expansion being the way forward, MPX Modules are intended to make swapping in a new internal GPU easier.

Announced earlier today, the trio of Radeon Pro W6000-Series modules were initially listed for custom configurations of new Mac Pro orders, but now they've been added to the virtual shelves for upgrades too.Īpple was thinking about making GPU upgrades easy from the start, when it launched the new Mac Pro design in 2019. Apple has put its three new Mac Pro MPX Modules up for sale, and if you were hoping to bring your current macOS machine up to date with the latest AMD GPUs, prepare to dig deep.
