Sapphire Radeon 7950 Mac Edition on MaPro 5,1 macOs Sierra

I moved my Sapphire Radeon to my MacPro 5,1 over a year ago and everything has been fine. I have no glitch and things are smooth. I wish I could upgrade to a Sapphire RX580 8GB and get more power with FCPX, Premiere, Resolve, Motion and After Effects - my staple apps.

Apple has announced some support for external GPUs in masOc High Sierra, and the Radeon 580X is one of the few card that seem to be supported. Although as a single GPU in a MacPro we probably wouldn't see the splash screen at startup. The card is hard to come by though. I am still on Sierra, and I might wait until the end of the year to upgrade os + GPU. We'll see.

The card has seen a lot of usage, and has been working flawlessly, so I'm not complaining. I read on the internet that the 7950 glitches happened in a single monitor configuration. Might be why I have been immune on my station since I am using two monitors. My previous post about this problem was back in 2014 in a MacPro 3,1: https://humanuser.blogspot.com/2014/02/radeon-7950-mac-edition-on-macpro-31.html

Adobe Creative Cloud App 4.3.0.256

For the first time the Adobe CC Manager App (v. 4.3.0.256) updated itself without crashing or getting stuck in the process, (read my tribulations here.) On both my Macs under macOs Sierra. No need for the cumbersome workaround.
Cheers to that Adobe!

Native eGPU support in macOS High Sierra!

Yep, you read this correctly. Buy an compatible external Thunderbolt 3 GPU chassis, add any freaking video card(s) of your choice, AMD Radeon or Nvidia Pascal video card and boooooom! You are no longer limited by your Mac built-in GPU. Native support is the big news here. Even though it's not fully implemented yet, it shows promises.

What's with this oversimplification of user interface in apps? I want progress info!

I really do not like that some Apple Apps do no display progress. New to the list, the App Store now does not show any progress when installing/updating.

Here is the App Store, I'm updating FCPX and it shows no progress whatsoever,  NOTHING.

Meanwhile, Launchpad displays Progress nicely. The slider, and "Downloading, 88MB of 150MB." Great!

Is this too much to ask? 

What is off limits to commercial photography? A lot! - An Adobe Stock list

Adobe Stock has a great list of restricted subjects. Ouch, it's a long list! And it's a sea of NO.

I haven't experience this bug, thank you very much, but be warned!

Click these links below and read on and act appropriately in order not to loose them precious files. Hopefully Adobe will discover the problem and issue a fix soon.

This news come at a time when I have been thinking of storing all apps caches onto a separate SSD to speed up things. Well, good thing I haven't implemented that plan yet.

Another reminder to always have a backup up-to-date.

Be wary of the Media Cache!
