It's been a long time since I upgraded my GPU and I want to upgrade mine to MSI RX 570 ARMOR OC Edition.

Since MacOS support AMD gpu natively, I dont need to do anything but insert AMD GPU right away?
 
Apple's official list is here: HT208898

RX 570 'might' work (probably will), but why not just go for something that's on the 'definite' list? Also, you won't get boot screens unless it's a GTX680, HD7950 or Quadro K5000 ('for Mac' versions).

I've been trying to sell my GTX 1060 6gb for a long time but nobody buy it. So now, Im trying to trade with RX 570 8gb. I dont expect have boot screens anyway. I already have HD7950 but it doesnt support Mojave. I just wanna know if I need to update or chage something in MacOS before I install RX 570.
 
Sounds like you need to lower the price on the 1060. It's still a good, current card, so would definitely sell for a reasonable price.

Why not just go for a second hand RX580 Pulse instead? They're only about £150, and are officially supported.

The HD7950 supports Mojave just fine - check out my link. If yours is not a Mac Edition, it can be flashed easily enough (for boot screen support).

In USA, RX 580 cost more than $200. I lowered the price for a while but nobody wanted to buy it.
 
Strange, the GTX 1060 and RX 580 are pretty comparable GPUs, and many people would prefer Nvidia for various reasons. I would have thought that selling one and buying the other (second hand) wouldn't cost much money, but fair enough. How much does an RX 570 go for in the US?
