Stingray you need to be on Mac Pro 5,1 in your smbios, to get full speed out of the 280x, mine goes to 2300 in OSX in Luxmark, Sala, ui want another one soon.


please don't forget to erase kext AppleTyMCEDriver if you switch to Mac Pro 5,1 or will get a KP on start

If you look at my above post I get 2305 in OS X, so there is nothing wrong with my speed . The 280x performs very good. The discussion was about crypto currency mining though, where the windows/linux versions of the program can control the overclocking of the card, but the OS X version can't - that makes mining under windows and linux about 50% faster than under OS X. It's not really a GPU issue, more a driver thing. I hope to see improved speeds in 10.9.2, but for other GPU tasks (gaming, luxmark, opencl and such) it performs perfectly even when not set to 5,1.

For me it made no difference to change definitions from 3.1 to 5.1

Here's my GTX 660 TI 3GB

and the video card with my over clocked Xeon L5639 @ 3.7GHZ

LuxMark 2.1

I tested with one and with two cards installed.

Out of curiosity, I tried 2 cards from different generations: GTX 570 and GTX 770.

Hi Abberracus,

I saw some of your posts about the r9 280x.
I've been thinking of getting one (eventually maybe two)
I do a lot of FCPX.

Will two cards make a difference?
I've read about crossfire not working, but some posts are really old.

Also I've read that you changed the smbios to a macpro 5,1, and deleted the AppleTyMCEDriver kext.
Is there anything else I should consider before buying?
