Hi there;
BRAND new member (though LONG time lurker) here.
Sorry to "revive" an old thread (I know that some whine horribly about this, even reviving only a few months "old" thread), but wanted to chime in and THANK trs96 for this K600 info.
I mess with building both Macs (towers, you know, REAL computers!) as well as PCs, and have been recently getting calls for Mojave / Metal support. My friends / clients are NOT gamers or even close to needing bleeding edge.
Most are professionals in audio, music and the like, so they just want powerful machines (and cheap).
Any idea how many pro recording studios are STILL on Snow Leopard or Mavericks?
Because . . . it works! And, newer Apple OSes break, antiquate and obsolete both hardware & software.
OK, preaching to the choir here, I am sure.
So, after reading through this thread, I went and found a bundle (6 or 7?) of the K600 cards and grabbed them all for a little over $100 bucks including tax.
These will mostly go into Mac Pro towers (2010 / 5,1 machines), though I may just try a few in my HP i7 Elite desktops. Never built a Hackie-Tosh yet, too much trouble with the cheap cost of Mac Pro towers around here (NYC area), but I'm now open to playing around with this here very soon.
I am HOPING that the ones that I bought (nvidia Quadro K600 1GB HP) actually all DO have Metal support, otherwise I am jiggered with a bunch of less than useful cards here!
I'm happy to come back and report (I actually DO this, unlike so many other well meaning folk) what my own testing & findings are.
Sorry for the long first post . . . I can get carried away.
Thanks again trs96 (gotta be a pro audio guy!) for you information!
