I upgraded to a 2012 non-retina 13" MBP when I found the stock unit could export JPEGs from heavily adjusted 16MP RAWs in Aperture 50% faster. I used to have a 2008 2.8GHz 8-core MP with SSD, internal RAID 0, 10GB RAM, and a Radeon 4870. You might find that a newer lower-end machine outperforms your MP, at least on some tasks.įWIW, upgrading my MP's stock graphics card to the 4870 seemed to have no impact at all on Aperture performance at the time. I've since added an SSD and boosted RAM to 16GB, and it serves me very well still as my main Mac.

If so do you get a boost in performance when using these two apps?
#FASTEST VIDEO CARD FOR MAC PRO 5 UPGRADE#
It's possible to upgrade to an AMD 2GB card which seems like a good option and much less than moving to a new Mac Pro. RAM and CPU seem rarely over troubled and so I am thinking the graphics card is the limiting factor. I have 16GB RAM & an SSD but only an an NVIDIA 512k graphics card. My 2009 Mac Pro 4.1 is now running El Capitan and I had hoped things would improve through the use of metal but it seems my old 'pro' doesn't support this. I'm struggling with using Lightroom and to a lesser extent PS CC now that I am using a Nikon D810.
