Can a flashed Mac Pro 2009 (5,1) support macOS Mojave

I'm not sure that anyone has specifically reported that yet. The release from Tuesday is hard-coded to not install on the 5,1, but I think a few people with the know-how have gotten it running. But I'm not sure if any of them had 4,1->5,1s.
It should work though. If Apple really wanted to hard code an exclusion for 4,1->5,1 flashes then they could have/would have done it with High Sierra. I don't think they really care.

I know of one user who has it working. It's a PITA right at this moment, because installing on the 5,1 isn't YET (as in the current DP) officially supported. It is possible however with some hackish skill sets. But it will be fully supported very soon, so I would just wait.
I fully expect that you can install without problems once the code is cooked, if your GPU is supported.

He is talking specifically about the 2009 Mac Pro flashed to 2010 firmware, not the stock 2010/2012 models. If there is a specific post that mentions someone testing that scenario then please link it directly rather than point to a 7 page thread.
This is the one I was referring to
Apple says No
I say Yes

(I had a quick look at the GPU drivers everything pre-metal has been purged, interesting NVIDIA fermi drivers are still there so does Fermi actually support metal? i Remember that being a bit debated "back in the day" no NVIDIA drivers newer then kepler tho sadly)

Wow you got it up and running already? I thought they’d add support for Mac pros in the future developer releases. Unless of course they already did
