Replacing nvidia - need cheap amd gpu’s

marked · Apr 5, 2020

Hi all, I have 3 customacs, all running High Sierra as I went with Nvidia a long time ago and now I’m stuck.

I’m an audio engineer, don’t need graphics to be all singing and dancing.

one of my machines is a server, one is a videoslave (just needs to be able to play a video) and one is a pro tools machine with at least 2 screens, 3 if possible. Currently that machine has 3 screens across 2 GPU’s.

im after basic, cheap, single slot gpu’s that are Mojave supported (and will be for Catalina too).

any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks all, I’ve gone for the Sapphire RX560. Got 2 of them - should do the job for 3 outputs, and then I can put the other one in one of the other machines. The videoslave should be fine for a while as it is on high Sierra, and I’ll grab another gpu down the road if I need to. Or maybe nvidia will become supported... maybe...

560 should be supported, look at the web
