You could get the same setup, pre-built, for about $1000 from. This cost about $670 and around 10-15 hours of research & setup time. You can read about the details of my install at the TechInferno forums, where I gathered info before buying my own equipment. including textures, anti-aliasing, edges, and shadows that the OpenGL mode can display is impressive, and since OpenGL is sped-up by the GPU there is a big difference when handling complex models. Polygon, hidden-line, and of course Renderworks are still heavily CPU-bound.) (But not other modes - those are the only 2 that benefit heavily from GPU performance as of this writing. (But reports indicate it can also work in those modes, w/ some caveats.) This solution works with most *any* Mac with a Thunderbolt port.ģ00% OpenGL performance increase, makes a big difference for using Vectorworks in Wireframe & OpenGL render modes. Setup is running natively in OS X 10.10.5, no Bootcamp / Windows. I am now running an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, in an external PCIe Thunderbolt2 box, connected to the Mac Mini's single Thunderbolt port.
