Thursday, December 6th, 2018 Author: Apple’s macOS 10.14 Mojave has been available to the world since September, and the Rocket Yard has outlined all. As we’ve reported, the 2010 and 2012 Mac Pro models will support Mojave – as long as they have been upgraded with graphics cards that support Metal. Apple released a that provides a list of graphics cards that are Metal-capable. The document states that “macOS Mojave requires a graphics card that supports Metal, an Apple technology that lets the system and apps efficiently tap into the capabilities of today’s graphics processors (GPUs).” One of the GPUs on the list is an OWC favorite – the. The powerful card will ensure that your Mac is supported by Mojave and able to run the latest macOS smoothly.

Pcie video cards to a Mac Pro 5.1 trougth a external case? Discussion in 'Mac Pro' started by Iceman23b, Apr 1, 2018. Most Liked Posts. Iceman23b, Apr 1, 2018. Feb 4, 2017 - Apple has an 'official' list of graphics cards that are compatible with the Mac Pros (Mid 2010). The ones specific to the 5,1 are: Mac Pro (Mid.

As you can see in our benchmarks below, not only does the Radeon RX 580 ensure full compatibility with macOS Mojave, but you’ll also get a performance boost that will make your silver tower Mac Pro a contender with the 2013 Mac Pro that features dual GPUs. With the Radeon RX 580, your 2010-2012 Mac Pro will take full advantage of Metal, which is Apple’s 3D graphics and compute released in 2014. In short, Metal allows your system and applications to efficiently tap into the capabilities of today’s graphics processors such as the Radeon RX 580. You’ll also get up to 12.5x better performance over the stock GPU for OpenCL, which allows you to take advantage of the parallel computing power of GPUs and multicore CPUs to accelerate compute-intensive tasks.

You’ll see shorter rendering times and faster effects operations with Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid, Adobe, and other video suites.

According to Apple, you need to update to macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, make sure that your graphics card is compatible, and then turn off FileVault before you upgrade to Mojave on the 2010 and 2012 Mac Pro models. With this Metal-compatible graphics card installed, you will not be able to see the Apple logo at boot, nor can you access boot options. Once your system has fully booted, the graphics card will function normally. For more details (including workarounds), see the Rocket Yard article on.

More on macOS Mojave • • • • •. I’ve also updated a MP5,1 with a RX560 (i.e. Cheap, and no power cables required) from 10.13.6 to 10.14.2 This included the latest 140.0.0.0.0 firmware, and afterwards I was able to remove the RX560 and put back the old Radeon 5770 and Mojave still booted up and ran, although at times the screen would go black for a fraction of a second, so I’m not sure how stable it is. The bonus is that I have also been able to install a Samsung EVO 960 NVMe drive as the boot drive (using a PCIe slot with a converter board to hold this M.2 drive).

Still need to do some benchmarks to see how much faster it was than the EVO 860 SATA drive I have plugged in below the SuperDrive (i.e. Slow 3G SATA). Unlike the High Sierra upgrade, (and some 10.14 beta installs did the card swap routine), 10.14 upgrade from 10.13.6 apparently doesn’t require a Mac rom card (but metal support yes) – confirmed by several reports of Mac Pro 5.1 owners with only Radeon RX580 (no Mac rom) card installed. Of course no video at startup so requires patience (and w/o video is a downside).
