Greetings!
I apologize for my English :)

There is MacPro 3.1 with MacOs 10.12.6 installed using dosdude1 patch.
There is a desire to update the GTX 960 on the RX570 or RX580.
Will this bunch be successful?
Thanks.

There are no drivers fro the RX 570 / 580 in 10.12 as far as I'm aware, 10.13.6 would work, but 10.14.6 would be ideal.

10.12.6 has initial Ellesmere support inside AMDRadeonX4200 drivers, it's a joke for anything METAL or compute, GPUs are identified as AMD R9 xxx, but works for showing the display.

Now it remains to decide which video card is more suitable for my MacPro 3.1 "2 x 2.8" Eight Core. So far I opted for rx 570 4gb. Are there any considerations about this?

If anyone is interested :)
Installed Gigabyte rx570 4GB, in my configuration it is more than enough, even a little redundant. rx 580 does not make sense, because CPUs limit its performance and do not disclose it 100%,but like my rx570.
