Radeon HD 7950 on macOS

Hi,

I’m new to TD, my system is a MacPro 4.1, OSX 10.11.6 with a Radeon HD 7950 3072 MB Mac edition.
This is my screen when opening TD… It looks like a driver problem.

Anyone with the same problem… and luckily a solution for it?

Thanks,
Ale

Its a tough one with macOS as there are typically no GPU driver updates. The AMD 7900 series is also minimum requirements for TouchDesigner so you are barely squeaking by with that card and system. Although MacPro4.1 only supports up to 10.11 official, I read there are a number of people who have got Sierra running on it. Don’t know if that would help and its not a process that would be easy to reverse, so I can’t recommend it. I guess if you have an spare hard drive lying around and are feeling brave you could try, so you could fall back to your current macOS install if it doesn’t work. In the end, this system will be very limiting and if you want to go further with TouchDesigner you’ll outgrow it quickly.

Quite a nice pattern, though.
