    This was definitely the most ridiculous upgrade that I’ve ever performed. So glad you got a chance to mess with this insanity!
    I definitely want to give a HUGE shoutout to iBoff RCC for coming up with this idea, and designing the boards used. So be sure to check them out as well!

      Hey man! Great to see you and Luke in the same vid! And thank you for also replying to me on twitter when I had issues with my 5,1 Mac Pro 🥺

    • @iBoffRCC
      @iBoffRCC Před rokem +24

      Actually we never tested it with GTX 1070TI, but we're glad it works! LOL cool demo as always.
      Just another question - is the NVIDIA WebDriver required for this? I mean, does it will work flawlessly without it?
      Ps: thanks to Luke Miani for posting this awesome video.

    I always thought that dosdude is a 50 something year old ex Apple engineer who worked on original macs and this why he knows his way around the hardware and software. I am 🤯

    • @seanedmond3927

      DosDude1, I need this mod ASAP, but can you only use it on Macs that have or had optical drives?

    • @BlueSky_BlueSky
      @BlueSky_BlueSky Před rokem +5

      I thought the same. Very few IT people are proficient with hardware and software at the same time. I know dosdude1 from the patch he released to install Mojave on unsupported Macs. Truly unique talent.

      I’ve had similar ideas about utilising unused TB chip lanes on newer models, and adding extra juice to magsafe 4pins(+)/mid for ID/body as gnd, tho dunno why would we need so much power input😂
      This dude is genius!

      He's kept my 2008 mac pro going and let me work from home during the covid lockdowns.
      Its a damn shame he stopped doing his patchers because Opencore, whilst functional is a lot trickier and clunkier than his work.

    Definitely ludicrous. Maybe one of the best videos that you've ever recorded, Luke.
    Props on Dosdude for showing and sharing this, what a great guest!!!. Pure genius.
    EDIT: Maybe the title of the video could be better, I mean, I never expected to see something like this; because it's insanely great.

    I really hope that this kid (DosDude) is doing more than messing around on youtube videos. I know a couple of PC engineers that are astounded by the work that this guy is doing and they all agree that that he could easily be working for MS or Apple, etc.

    • @notmyname6452
      @notmyname6452 Před 10 měsíci

      And yet by messing around on CZcams videos he's already helped an incredible amount of people extend the life of their machines, inspired countless others, etc etc. Considering the amount of corporate greed that has been spreading like the plague, why would working for them even be a good thing at this point?

    This one was 2 MUCH, hardest tier Mac modd. I guess this kind of modd was only aviable in same 2011 model. but this project shows how great this computers used 2 be back when we were on X86 Arch, thanks again for invite dosdude1 aka "Collin", hope he can show us a few more projects 2 fight the programmed obsolesense, his idea is great, maybe with a manual of some kind of friendly explaining + a propper friendly case for GPU this example could go from experiment to bussiness model.

  • @tomwagner9980
    @tomwagner9980 Před rokem +1

    Love dosdude and Collin, used his Mojave and Catalina Patchers. This mod is awesome and a lot of fun but it only will help a few people. If Colin did another OS upgrade patcher for the latest OS like the Catalina patcher, it would help thousands of more mac users. Let's all hope!

  • @steveballmersbaldspot2.095
