AMD Radeon Pro W5500X GPU now available as a BTO option for the 2019 Mac Pro

If you’re looking to truly beef up your 2019 Mac Pro, you can now equip the workstation with an AMD Radeon Pro W5500X GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 memory.

The company has been steadily releasing new graphics options for the Mac Pro since its release in December. Back in April, Apple also added the Radeon Pro W5700X as an upgrade option.

The Radeon Pro W5500X will retail for $200 more than the standard price, is based on AMD’s RDNA architecture, and features 5.6 teraflops of single-precision performance up to 11.2 teraflops of half-precision performance. It can drive up to four 4K displays, a single 5K display or a single Apple Pro Display XDR. 

Users can outfit their Mac Pro towers with up to two Radeon Pro W5500 MPX modules, and the card is also available as a $600 standalone module.

If you get a chance to try this out, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
