I picked up a new graphics card, a sapphire Rx 560, I have a Mac Pro 3,1 so doing plenty of research thinking it would work be cause I had a hacked version of high Sierra running on it. It failed to run and the suspect is the ancient system bus they have in the Mac Pro 3,1. I haven’t heard anyone running on a Mac Pro 3,1, but I have heard people running it on a 5,1.
I’ve done some research on a firmware upgrade from 4,1 to 5,1 and I’m curious to see if that could help me save money whilst still allowing the graphics card to work inside of it.
Bottom line/tl:dr: To get my GPU, working should I upgrade to a Mac Pro 4,1 and firmware upgrade or a Mac Pro 5,1 without worrying about anything.
Also does the Mac Pro 4,1–>5,1 firmware upgrade allow it to upgrade to high sierra?
Thanks
