Simple as the title says. I have an MSI Armor RX 480 4GB (with no original fans. Just 2 fans I slapped ontop the heatsync. Heat is not the issue as it crashes even at only 60 C) and I have been having never ending issues regarding the driver timing out. I am using the latest driver on windows 10 and this card is in my 4,1 Mac Pro where I have 1 6 pin converted to an 8 pin to make it work. It works mostly fine just browsing the web or what have you but now I'm having the issue where it times out after gaming for 1 min, even with a -50% power limit and -30% max clock so I don't know what the heck is going on. About to throw it in my laptop's eGPU dock to test if its actually properly working or if it just absolutely friggen hates my mac pro.

There might be a memory booger in either the video card or your Mac pro’s memory that only causes problems when it gets hit.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Nope I tested in my eGPU dock and it was having the same problems. So I gave up.
