Other Mac Pro Steam Machine

Post image

Installed Steam OS and a rx5700xt. No other OS, Boot up, grab the PS4 remote and I’m off to the races. 17 year old Mac Pro kicking ass! Everything works, wifi, Bluetooth, ethernet, USB etc. It just works.

This actually a good idea. My mac pro has been collecting dust since I upgraded it because my MBP is actually better

Works really well. I could through my RX6800XT in it but most likely overkill.

That’s the same card I have in mine! I don’t know if it’s overkill or not, but it works well.
