Haven't had any issues so far.Have you had any display issues since installing? When I first installed the card I had a couple of screen flickers but none since.

I'd think twice about that. I have a 1080 FE I use in Windows on a cMP and that works perfectly.
The experience of my 1070 FE in macOS leaves something to be desired. It really isn't good and you'll find that things are pretty buggy. Glitches, black screen when resuming from sleep, or even from monitor sleep, it's cumbersome having to remote into the Mac to update the driver prior to every OS update. It's not worth the hassle IMO.
I just don't think Pascal macOS drivers are any good and I don't see them improving in a hurry.
NVIDIA seem to be doing the bare minimum to offer 'support' for the cards in macOS.
Go for a Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB and you'll be much better off!
This is the part that confuses me. Your experience with 1080 FE in macOS is good, but the 1070 FE is glitchy?How is a 1070 FE so different to a 1080 FE?
I have a spare cMP which I've dedicated to Windows gaming and stuck a 1080 in it. In Windows, with Windows drivers, the card works like a dream. It's the perfect fit for the cMP IMO.This is the part that confuses me. Your experience with 1080 FE in macOS is good, but the 1070 FE is glitchy?How is a 1070 FE so different to a 1080 FE?
1080 is with Windows
1070 is with MacOS
That's the main difference.
Have you tried the 1080 in macOS?
Nope. But I have no reason to believe the experience won't be exactly the same.Have you tried the 1080 in macOS?

I put back in my GTX 680 ME, uninstalled the NVIDIA web driver and ALL the problems disappeared. It now works perfectly. It is very conclusive that the problem lies with the web driver to me.

They're from the same GPU tech and driver set, I can't imagine how the bugs and quirks Squuid laid out in his earlier post would be any different between 1070 and 1080...
I would choose the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 (the one Apple uses in their eGPU's): http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=77B48A1E-9FCB-4F19-BC2D-17C3087E4852&lang=deu
Totally compatible in macOS 10.13, no KEXT editing, just plug an play.
I ordered one for $270 on 1. July, still waiting....
Where did you find one for only $270? I couldn't find this card online for under $370.
Yep, I pre-ordered mine on Amazon almost two months ago.It's a Swiss store, i don't know if something like that exists in the US, but here in Switzerland we can search for products like that: http://www.toppreise.ch/prod_490958.html
However, I'm still waiting.

Only the 8GB version shows correctly as that is the one used in Apple's eGPU dev kit.The RX580 is booting straight out of the box, but still shows as R9xxxxx4096mb
Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB or is it a Nitro? Only the Pulse shows correctly.Just saw a YouTube clip where the RX580 also shows as a R9xx, with the eGPU and the 8Gb.
So maybe in the last beta they changed that.
So I'll have to correct it myself I guess.
Look at the card carefully in that video and tell me what model it is.
Its ± 2 minutes in when you see that.

Most cards seem to have gone to miners in the US.
European launch of these cards is very much still happening here as very few cards have actually made it to Europe.

It shows how little good info is there and most is wishfull thinking.
Many were waiting for 10.12.6 to show more AMD support.
The good news I see is my Titan in Hi Sierra being seen as a native Apple Gpu and that I did not expect!
Btw Photoshop sees the RX580 4Gb as 'AMD Radeon Ellesmere Prototype'
I guess I will return the RX580 4Gb and get a 8Gb from secondhand market, will be continued.
I think the Kepler Titan was "supported" back in Mavericks.
If you value a stable OS which isn't going to give you a black screen when exiting sleep (forcing you to power off the Mac to get back into it), as well as lag, then I'd avoid Pascal cards and NVIDIA's web driver and go with a Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB.For editing in premiere pro in Mac OS, better to stick with 1080 FE or the RX 580?
