And yes, I'm running an HD7950 in mine too. Thankfully, I have them each on their own SSD, and have a separate storage drive per OS. Mine's older than OP's (Early 2009 with a single Xeon W3540 in it), but I have to do the same thing to get between OSX and Windows. Setting the target partition before restarting is the only workaround I know of for those of us (me included) that run PC graphics cards in our Mac Pros. Not the most optimal solution but a potential work around. I think you can set in Bootcamp what drive you restart into when you restart. So my question is, Is there a way I can restart to my windows drive from OS x, but without changing the default so that I can then restart, and be back in OS x?Īnd if not, is there another way you guys would suggest switching between OS, when booting and holding alt is not an option?Īs long as the partition is still there it should be fine. However, now that Windows is default, and I can't hold alt while booting to change it, I'm stuck in Windows until I put in my old graphics card, boot, hold alt, launch OS x, and change the default back to OS x. Now, with that set to windows, I can restart and my computer automatically launches Windows.
I do know how to go to System Preferences > Start up disk, and then select a drive and click "restart" However this sets the default for booting. It either boots directly to my default option, or stalls out on the grey screen where you normally would see the apple logo during the boot process.
($300 more for the same thing -_-)Įverything works great, except I no longer can hold Alt/Option down to select a boot drive when starting my computer. I picked up a AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 7950, but I did not get the Mac version. I recently upgraded my graphics card to improve gaming on Windows. I have 2 hard drives, with each OS installed on its own drive. I currently own a Mid-2012 Mac Pro, which is duel booted with OS X Sierra, and Windows 10.
