MP 1,1-5,1 Does the newest BootCamp update have any relevance to a 5,1?

[eicca]

I installed BootCamp using the Greg Grant methods and Brigadier and I don't remember all the specifics. But, if I leave my 5,1 in Windows mode asleep for too long, the bluetooth stops working and I have to reset the SMC to bring it back.

My current version is BootCamp 6.1. Apple Software Update says nothing is available.

Is the 6.1.16 update something I could even use on this machine?

I have a question that is a bit off topic for this thread, but why did you perform the Pixlas mod? I'm asking because I thought that the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 graphics card (I have the same one) didn't need the mod. Did you just want to have more power available as a safeguard of sorts?

I was having system freezes when gaming, so I tried it hoping it would help. Turned out to be bad GPU firmware. I left the Pixlas mod just in case I ever decided to upgrade.

Ahh, okay. I am having the same kind of issue when gaming in Windows. Did you flash the card with different firmware to fix the issue or replace the card?

I got some help from the TechPowerup forum to flash the right firmware to my card and it’s been perfect ever since.

I did the same a few days ago.
