Ok so after updating my 5,1 with RX480 to 10.13.6 I started getting bad graphical glitches on the bottom third of the screen with display port. It was working fine before the update and is still working fine with the HDMI. I guess I'm ok with sticking with the HDMI but will need to get a newer...

Hi!
I know there is loads of information on the site about 5,1 and graphics cards but the threads are so long I cant find the info I need for some of the newer GPUs for my needs (Non gaming but creative apps).

Besides the Nvidia web driver issue, how are AMD Radeon 480/580 cards holding up?

Hi all,
since it looks like nowadays the RX 480 is a very good upgrade for a 5,1 Mac Pro I'm wondering about any serious CONs of having a "no boot screen" GPU (PROs are obvious in terms of GPU power, lower TDP, etc).

If powering any of the dual cards isn't an issue (planning to externally power them,) which pair would be better suited for fcpx? With prices of used 390x going pretty low around my area, I can buy two of them cheaper than what i've bought 2 rx 480 8GB for. Im currently running dual rx 480 on my...
I've lurked here for a while to try and get some answers before I newbie'd myself but I'm not really getting anything that makes complete sense to me. Apologies in advance for the level of my questions and assumptions.
My work was getting rid of some sold Macs after a team was laid off. I...
