    MP 1,1-5,1 R9 280x causes spinning wheel with plugins?

    I have an ongoing problem with my Mac Pro since upgrading to Mojave, some audio plugins cause a spinning wheel when displaying their GUI. A friend of mine has a 7950 and doesn't have this problem, so it seems to be my system. I started with a metal compatible 7850 that works in Mojave but...

    cMP 5,1 + R9 280X 3GB - will it work with Mojave?

    Just looking before leaping... updated with 2x X5670@2.93Ghz CPUs, works flawlessly with 10.13.5, and AFAIK the R9 280X has metal support. Grateful for any observations / guidance etc.
