Doesn't the Mac Pro get real close though?
2 built-in USB C ports on the top, the I/O card has 2x USB-C and 2x USB 3, and each GPU has 4x USB-C.
So with dual GPUs that's 14 USB ports. Maybe some are implemented via internal hubs?
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoPCIe cards don't count. So ignore the ones on the GPUs, I/O card, etc. If not for that, it would in fact go way over, because USB3 ports count twice.
- kalleboo 6y agoDo the cards actually have USB controllers on them though? I thought all the USB-C ports on the Mac Pro were routed through the motherboard in order to support using any port for displays irrespective of what GPU is driving it. Or is this one of those weird Thunderbolt vs USB things?
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoOh—I have no idea then, sorry! Actually, as far as I know, Apple could have fixed the port limit bug in Catalina, since I've never set up a Hackintosh on that OS. Kind of hoping a proper Hackintosh developer will chime in here because I'm not really qualified!
