This Trash Can Mac Pro Was Cutting Edge in 2013, Can It Run Games & EMUs In 2023?

The trash can Shaped Mac Pro was cutting edge tech in 2013 but how does it hold up in 2023? In this video we see how well the 6 core Mac Pro handles PC gaming and emulation. We have Windows 10 running on the Mac Pro and we test out games like Injustice 2, God of war, the Witcher 3 and more. And of corse we need some emulators so PPSSPP is used for PSP, PCSX2 for PS2 and Dolphin for Wii emulation on the Mac Pro shaped like a trash can.

Funnily enough I just dropped the 12 core into my Trashmac Pro today, it’s noticeably better for the workloads I use it for (photo and video work) but the lower clocks mean it’s probably worse for emulation and games. That said, the only benchmark I bothered to do to compare was Novabench, which showed a decent increase in both cpu and gpu performance, which makes little sense to me, unless however it measures gpu was bottlenecks by the cpu which would be a silly way to do things. It’s also a pain in the neck to do, so probably not recommended for the usual ETA Prime use cases.

It's the ideal bridge machine between older and newer machines. The M2 pro mac mini would destroy it very much but it can not run Mojave.

I usually find experimenting with old hardware kind of fun especially when it was something I noticed but couldn't afford back in the day. With Apple hardware I'm still left a little blah because of an experience I had when I went to an Apple store to buy a high-end workstation for video editing and the Apple Dude wouldn't let me practice edit some raw high-def video from a DVD I brought in. He said, "It wouldn't be a fair test of the computer" and couldn't let me evaluate whether I should spend a lot more for a Mac or just build a PC. Thanks for steering me away from that cult I say now!

Just to clarify. Best driver for this is Custom Bootcamp Radeon Adredaline 19.11 ( Vulkan / Directx11 / Open GL ) And the D700 6gbx2 Runs very solid on Crossfire. You gotta check the list of games that support crossfire to beguin with AND there are Custom Crossfire Profiles that include titles that are not optimized to run on dual gpu but it makes them run anyways (Example Dota2) The only issue with this PC its Temperature. You can easily reduce the Power Draw by 20% and everything will run less hot on almost same performance. Add a laptop cooler under it and you are golden. You can also Underclock to reduce temperatures. It is unfortunate but you have to manage the heat on this device but YOU WILL LEARN A LOT doing so. 😅 Its a beautifull PC that was not ment for gaming. Very sensitive to room temperature also ( Thinking of making a chamber for it to control humidity and temperature. or adding extra meat in the form of heatsinks)

The FirePro D500 hardware has support for at least Vulkan 1.1.101. I don't know if there are any drivers for Windows that would enable this. However, in Linux you can use a kernel parameter to get this to use the amdgpu driver and enable Vulkan. These machines will perform better in some (generally older) games with Windows and Crossfire enabled. For other things, you are better off with Linux with Vulkan enabled to get the most out of the hardware, though Crossfire will not work. For emulation, where this will shine the brightest (especially if the CPU is upgraded), you are better off with Linux. Also, some games that just won't work in Windows will in Linux, though not necessarily well enough to play.

You went through the video mentioning dual GPU's when only one was ever used. 0% of first GPU. Glad you realize that. I don't think any drivers would help as the drivers don't make games support CrossFireX/SLI. It especially doesn't help with low 800MHz, as the second one doesn't work full speed, and just 3GB VRAM. Again, the second card doesn't exactly "add-on" another full card. It just increases SOME performance (very selective and often useless). That's why CrossFireX and SLI don't sell now.

Whut? You are desecrating the most sacred urn of the Omnissiah Steve Jobs to run Windows 10!?!? Truly the ultimate Tech-Heresy!!! Give youself up to the Tech-Priest Inquisitors of the Genius Bar now!!! You hear the tortured whirring coming from inside? Those are the tormented ashes of Jobs spinning in this holy relic!!! Can you bring up Microsoft Bob up on it next?
