MP 1,1-5,1 Mojave update: Boot to black screen with 7950, after years without problem
Hey there! I’ve updated my Mac Pro 5,1 2010 starting from 10.12.6 over 10.13.6 to 10.14.6 today. Boot menu works, booting to safe-mode works. But after about 3/4 of the loading bar the screen goes black. It sounds as if the boot process goes on correctly, I just can’t see anything. It did still... -

MP 1,1-5,1 Netflix 4K on Mac Pro 5,1 (Bootcamp)
Well most of you may know this already, but it is news to me. Netflix app (or EDGE) in bootcamp is able to play in 4K with latest windows 10 and AMD Adrenalin driver. My 5,1 has a RX480 connect to LG 27DU88 via HDMI. No longer need to have Kaby Lake CPU. Another reason to keep your Mac Pro 5,1, LOL. -

I wanted to install windows, and did it the simple way by taking the SSD out of my windows machine, and plugging it into my Mac Pro 5,1.
