all the rest I have like NVMe boot, NVMe drive shown as internal etc.

All PCIe drives are external to the Mac Pro firmware, that will continue.

If you already have NVMe EFI injected, it will work until Apple releases a new BootROM, then you will have to inject again unless someone at Apple do the business decision of oficial NVMe support for Mac Pro 5,1.

There is a fix for that: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/innie-a-fix-for-pci-drives-seen-as-external.2136229/
And it works perfect on my cMP.

Okay, so I should be save with upgrading. Thx ;)

After you reinstall your system so many times like I have to do to test things, I like to use the most standard/vanilla install possible.
PCIe as a internal drive is not a hassle enough to me to justify deviating of a standard macOS install. But I like that a solution exists to people who really care about this.

I totally get your point. Thats why I clone my working system to an external one, so if anything goes wrong, I can easily switch back without a big deal.

Good practice, I do that too.

However, when testing a system, you need to test the install process as well. The only way to do that is a bare metal clean install. It's unavoidable IMHO for testing.

For testing purpose it is definitely needed to start "from scratch". But I am more a happy user of tweaks developed by others and support them moneywise; like I did with @tsialex when he reconstructed my BootROM. (thanks again for your outstanding help!)

Thx! The donations of people from MR helped me pay for a Pomona 5250 clip, CH341a SPI programmer, 15un pack of MXIC25L3206E, TL866II, 2 PP-200 200MHz probes and a BusPiratev3.6.

Does anyone know if the Gigabyte Radeon Vega 64 Work on the latest version of Mac OS. I am about to get a Mac Mini and I was planning to get a external GPU using the Razor Core X
