If you pulled out the cpu tray you’d have more room for your hands and drivers.

Just curious because I have a 2012 mac pro and a vega 64 (from my old computer). Because the stock GPU is rated 108 watts would that mean both mini pci ports are rated for 150w instead of 75w and I should be able to use both of those ports for a vega 64 than the hassle of this build?

There’s a lot of back and forth argument on this topic. There have been people who successfully ran a video card that required an 8pin plug (150w) vs a 6pin plug (75w) by using a mini 6pin to 8pin cable. Apple has never released any official literature as to what the ports are rated to handle. That being said people have also burned up the traces on their motherboard by trying to pull too much power from the ports. The card would probably run and boot into macOS by just using the mini 6pin ports but as soon as you tried to put any load on the GPU you would run into issues. So in my opinion it’s a safer bet to plan for 75w from each mini 6pin port and 75w from the PCIe slot the card is plugged into giving you 225w of power. If you need more than that I’d do the pixlas mod. This day and age you could just sell the Vega and buy a newer card that will give you equal if not better performance and not require this mod. You could also sell it and get a Vega56 which does not require the mod.

@@helphqwhat would you recommend to buy for equal performance and to avoid doing the mod?

On paper an RX6600XT is on average 37 percent better than a Vega 64. It requires one 8 pin plug which you can use a two mini 6 pin to one 8 pin Y cable. Requires no power modifications.
