Hello All:
Thanks in advance for your kind attention to this thread and any who might be able to offer some friendly advice.
I’m a long time PT user and have been nursing my mid 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 8 core 2.44GHz hzold tower along with PT 10. It’s time to step things up, move to the subscription Ultimate, etc. I was thrilled to find this touch screen platform as I’m also a big fan of the Waves LV1, the RAVEN platform however is ideal for my future plans of mixing remotely via fiber. I’m in the process of purchasing hardware upgrades for this renovation, and sourcing which OS is the most friendly for the newest iteration of RAVEN operating PT.
So here are my points of inquiry:
* Best OS? * Best graphics card? * 2.66GHz 12 core or 3.33GHz 6 core? * MTZ vs MTi2?
Again, thanks for taking the time to read my query and responding.
Best regards,
Hugh

Hey Hugh,
Best OS for me is Mojave as macOS went way to crazy with the security permissions after Mojave.
5870 is the best Graphics card for the cheese-grater mac pro.
The cores don't really matter for the RAVEN, but pro tools benefits from more cores.
I prefer Dual MTi2 but the MTZ is great and super touch friendly.

Hi again, So the 5870 comment begs the advice on using a native or converted (from DVI, for example) HDMI port for connection to the MTZ.

Thanks! I wound up getting a NVIDIA GTX 680. It has a HDMI, DVI, and 2 DP. My guess is from reading the zendask, that the Slate will want to see the HDMI native port, as it appears to be the ‘home’ port. Is that a safe assumption?
