Customers can add Radeon Pro W6800X and Radeon Pro W6900X modules to the Mac Pro, adding up to $11,600 to the base price.
Recent macOS updates have added support for the latest Radeon Pro graphics card modules to the Mac Pro and eGPU installs on Intel Macs. While customers can add these graphics cards when configuring a new Mac Pro, Apple has not made them available for direct purchase in the Apple Store yet.
New PCI-E and MPX module graphics cards available for the Mac Pro
- Radeon Pro W6800X with 32GB of GDDR6 memory costs $2,400
- Two Radeon Pro W6800X with 32GB of GDDR6 memory each costs $5,200
- Radeon Pro W6900X with 32GB of GDDR6 memory costs $5,600
- Two Radeon Pro W6900X with 32GB of GDDR6 memory each costs $11,600
- Radeon Pro W6800X Duo with 64GB of GDDR6 memory costs $4,600
- Two Radeon Pro W6800X Duo with 64GB of GDDR6 memory each costs $9,600
These graphics cards do not use proprietary connectors, so customers may be able to purchase the graphics cards separately at a lower cost. Though, due to market conditions, customers may find it difficult to locate Radeon Pro GPUs at retailers at regular price. However, the street price for two W6900 video cards is still notable less than Apple’s MPX module with the pair of GPUs.
