I wonder how the MP 2012 is supported if the included 5770/5870 don't meet the minimum GPU standards.

If no one does it before me, I'll pop my Genuine Apple/AMD 5870 in the box and see what is reported about metal support in the profile.

It'll be a few days when I'm not busy so someone may beat me to it.

GT640 is Metal capable which will support Mojave?

Just checking my 5,1 Mac Pro. I have an AMD Radeon HD 7970 installed.

The System Report shows it's supposed to be metal compatible... So Mohave should be ok?

7970 is actually the same chip as the nMP’s D700. Since the nMP is supported, therefore, the 7970 must be supported.

Thanks, good to know.

I only bought the 7970 some time ago to speed up PTGui. 360 pano rendering time went from 3 to 4 minutes down to around 10 seconds... !

I also run a 4k Eizo off the card as well, works great!

I have a 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 bios updated with a Vega with Mohave installed

Update:

My Mac Pro (Mid 2010) is running the first commercial release of Mojave fine with the AMD Radeon HD 7970.

The 7970 isnt an official Apple version, but has been flashed, so behaves as though it is I guess.
