Is the mid 2010/2012 Mac Pro Compatible with the AMD Firepro W9100 or W8100?

It's a high end version of the HD 7970/R9-280x with lot's of VRAM, it's very probable that will work, but it's the type of card that you'll need to test to confirm.

See this thread:

AMD Radeon RX Vega Plug-and-Play in 10.13

WOW! This is the new VEGA version. ...The old W9100 was @ $3K AMD seems to be serious about pricing ...it changes everything. Thanks, Andrew

I've analysed the macOS 10.13 AMD kexts and FIREPRO W9100 uses Hawaii XT architecture [like the Radeon R9 290X]

Hawaii XT is referenced in AMD8000Controller.kext and AMDRadeonX4000.kext

Like @tsialex suggests - it should work BUT it looks like no-one has ever really tested it/tried it.

Lou seems to have linked to a thread on the fully compatible WX9100 by accident.
Also W8100 can be ruled out - there is no Hawaii PRO GL kext support referenced anywhere in macOS..
