What 12 killed was my pythons like all the work I put into easy skin and dyson not to mention several other pythons.That is what I will have trouble replacing. Obviously its heatsink wasn't designed for a higher powered CPU. I upgraded the 2013 from a core i5 CPU to a core i7, but it needs extra cooling to avoid CPU throttling when rendering (vacuum cleaner running at 25% with the nozzle covering the iMac exhaust vents works a treat to prevent throttling). Neither of them can do GPU rendering in Poser (Though the AMD does get used in Blender).
One from 2011 on macOS 10.12.6 Sierra (12,2), which can't install Mojave since it doesn't have a Metal capable GPU, so won't run Poser 12 (except in Parallels Desktop on Windows 10) and one from 2013 (14,2) which I've managed to upgrade to 10.15.7 Catalina, so Poser 12 does run there, even though the NVidia GPU doesn't have Metal2 support and only has 1GB VRAM.īoth iMacs have 32GB RAM, with AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB in the 2011, and an NVidia GeForce GT 755M 1GB in the 2013. What model mac do you have? I have 2 27' iMacs.
I've heard Poser 12 will actually run on macOS 10.14 Mojave (I've spoken to someone who tests on that platform)
