Apple Mac Pro to the VR of Project Sansar

Dear Apple user and supporter!

For a month now I am the proud owner of a used Apple Mac Pro from middle-2012(5,1). I need it for a commercial projects. My Mac Pro should bring me into the virtual world of Project-Sansar. And as much as possible!

My Apple Pro have

...a 6 core Xeon with 3.3 MHz

...4x4=16GB RAM with 1333 MHz

...1 TB StadyDrive (No SSD or Flash)

The problem begins with the access. According dare information there is no functioning application for Apple. But there is the software Parallels that simulates Windows. Simulates Parallels enough for access? Must I install Windows 10 on a hard drive Section? Does it work? Is the problem in the Hartware components?

What should / can be installed there?

Graphic card

In a Win PC I would the "Geforce GTX 1080" insert to pacify my requirements. But my Apple has only a PCIe 2.0. Can I compensate with two graphics cards? If yes, which?

RAM

How many MHz is possible? May 1600 MHz?

How much GB is possible? May 4x16 = 64 GB?

Can I plug in two 16 GB RAM with 1600 MHz? Can I put the two old 4 GB RAM (1333 MHz) too?

HDD

Of course I want a SSD! But I have to remove your old hard drive out? How much memory should have the SSD? How to recognize the performance of an SSD? Do you have a buy recommendation?

Thanks for reading,

Your J.C.S. (Freemind E.) from blueseen Investment

What do you mean by "The problem begins with the access. According dare information there is no functioning application for Apple. But there is the software Parallels that simulates Windows."

Parallels is an app that allows you to run Windows on top of OSX. So you must have OSX running first.

Besides purchasing Parallels you also have to purchase a license for Windows.

For memory see:

you can't mix 16 GB sticks with smaller capacity sticks since one is registered and the other unregistered and you can't mix those.

I do not know what a ""Geforce GTX 1080"" graphics card is. For compatible cards see:

What apps are you running that would use the graphics cards for computing?

For SSD see:
