Apple Adds New Mac Pro Radeon Graphics Modules, But They’ll Cost You

Apple has made three new graphics card modules available to Intel Mac Pro owners with the Radeon Pro W6800X MPX Module, the Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module, and the Radeon Pro W6900X MPX Modules now available to order.

As you might expect, none of these new cards are a cheap option by any stretch of the imagination. The cheapest card is the W6800X that sells for $2,400, with 32GB of GDDR6 memory.

For workstation-class graphics and demanding pro applications, choose the AMD Radeon Pro W6800X with 32GB of GDDR6 memory delivering up to 512GB/s memory bandwidth. This graphics option features AMD’s RDNA2 architecture, delivering up to 16.0 teraflops of single-precision or 32.0 teraflops of half-precision computing. It supports up to six 4K displays, three 5K displays, or three Pro Display XDRs.

The next option is the W6800X Duo, coming in at $4,600 with 64GB of memory.

To push your graphics performance even further, choose the Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module, which is ideal for even the most demanding multi-GPU pro applications. The module has two W6800X GPUs, each with 32GB of GDDR6 memory delivering up to 512GB/s memory bandwidth. The two GPUs are connected onboard with Infinity Fabric Link, and two W6800X Duo modules can be bridged to allow four W6800X GPUs to communicate.

Finally, we have the big boy W6900X with 32GB of memory. That monster will sell for $5,600 which is obviously more than most people will spend on their Macs.

For the maximum workstation-class graphics and demanding pro applications, choose the AMD Radeon Pro W6900X with 32GB of GDDR6 memory delivering up to 512GB/s memory bandwidth. This graphics option features AMD’s RDNA2 architecture, delivering up to 22.2 teraflops of single-precision or 44.4 teraflops of half-precision computing. It supports up to six 4K displays, three 5K displays, or three Pro Display XDRs.

It’s worth noting that these prices are what you’ll pay when buying a new Mac Pro. We don’t yet know how much the cards will be when bought after the fact, but it’s likely they’ll be a few hundred dollars more.

Nobody ever said the world of the Mac Pro was cheap, did they?
