the only question mark is whether or not that particular machine has the wi-fi card installed...
Ahhh, OK - well, still, good news for you 4,1 owners if you flash to 5,1. I have a 3,1
. I just want to cry.4,1 and 5,1 share same board-id.
but apple exluded name MacPro4,1 from supported list.
firmware update will save you guys
Meanwhile Macpro3,1 users will have to use this howto - https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/os-x-yosemite-on-unsupported-macs-guide.1761432/

Using flashed gtx980, so had to use nv_disable=1 boot arg, efi driver is in use.

OK - I have the preview downloaded. I will use that method as well. Hopefully NVIDIA release drivers for this shortly!

Have you got a link handy for me to download OSX Extractor? The normal site is down during WWDC and I can't find a link.

I still think this
is the most likely reason why 4,1 is not officially supported and 5,1 is.
WiFi is essential to improved Continuity features and Universal Copy & Paste across devices. Seems like a (semi-) legitimate reason to drop support for non-WiFi devices, considering Sierra's strong emphasis on these features and functionality.

I keep getting the "this version can't be installed on this computer" message and I have a 4.1 so what is being done differently!
You need the 5,1 firmware

I guess that's the reason how they decide the list, but they won't really perform a check if Wi-Fi avail on the Mac, just in case someone's Mac has a broken WiFi but actually on this list.
ahhh I thought so, but no one confirmed either way. I don't have a wi-fi card installed nor the firmware update. Doing the 5.1 now. will update once successful. Thanks
Hello, it's being so for past 9 years
For 4,1, you have three chooses:
1) follow path of 3,1 macpro
2) copy installed image from another mac
3) upgrade firmware to 5,1 and enjoy
3,1 has only 1) and 2)
everything works, continue the party.

Many Mac were shipped with Nvidia GPU. Of course they support it, but just not the latest model.
Netkas said the "Nvidia driver got updated", NOT "Nvidia web driver got updated".
