Hello @h9826790 yes my card is enable , if you see my config.plist file attached, you can see that is TRUE the corresponding tag.

I was on mobile device, and haven't check your config. But the screen capture doesn't looks right to me. Your card still recognize as a Gigabyte device, but not an Apple device.

Out of curiosity: what would happen if you booted a Mac Pro with a Titan Ridge with connected Mini DisplayPort, but no GPU? Would it use the CPU for graphics, or give no video output at all?

 

[juliovg]

I don't use Mini Display port, i just want connect ElGato Dock hub

Mac Pro CPU doesn't have GPU.
Mini DisplayPort is for input to the Titan Ridge.
The two Mini DisplayPort ports are the only GPU inputs to the Titan Ridge. If they are not connected to a GPU, then the Thunderbolt ports cannot output DisplayPort to a display or tunnel DisplayPort to a Thunderbolt dock/hub/device/display.

How did you manage to get this working?

With my case and G-DRIVE Hard Drives. I need to boot up a second time for my Mac Pro to notice G-DRIVER. If you only start it once, you will not notice the Hard Driver from the Finder. You try to boot again when at the Login screen

Hi, thanks so much for the info. I will try

 

[KevinClark]

Try opencore 074

 

[serr]

Does the Titan-Ridge card require the opencore install?
So far it shows up in System Report/Thunderbolt but I have nothing with target disk mode over thunderbolt in either direction. Running OSX 10.13.6

 

[KevinClark]

you can use it without

 

[serr]

Well, either this is a DOA or it just doesn't work. I see it in System Report but it doesn't connect.

 

[KevinClark]

Does someone has tried to flash a Maple RIDGE Gigabyte for using with our Mac Pro 2010/2012

 

[tsialex]

you can use it without

Without OC, only if you boot Windows first, then warm boot macOS. If you boot macOS directly from power-on, won't work.

 

[KevinClark]

You talk about Maple Ridge ?

 

[tsialex]

You talk about Maple Ridge ?

All TB controllers installed on a MP5,1.

 

[KevinClark]

You mean Mapple ridge could work as the titan ridge but needs to be flashed if It not using with windows 10 ?

MacPro5,1 firmware doesn't support and doesn't initialize any TB controllers, it was designed long before TB - zero support by the SMBIOS.

You need OC + flashing the TB card or need to boot Windows to initialize and enumerate the TB devices, then warm boot macOS.
