MP 1,1-5,1 MacPro 5,1 upgrading from Catalina to Monterey (OC 0.8.0)

[Caesar_091]

Is it safe to upgrade the Mac Pro in my signature from Catalina to Monterey?
Am I going to loose some functionality? (i.e.: WIFI, bluetooth and firewire connectivity for an iSight cam)
Any recommendation?

TIA

Any recommendation?

Yes. Use OCLP, everything is supported, since your Mac Pro has a metal GPU. I have used OCLP with great success on two of my macs (the mini and the MBP).
Edit: Mind you, there is an important difference between hardware support and software support. It is difficult to know what kind of peripherals will work in Monterey on your hardware. I don't know about iSight.

Thanks, I am actually still "studing" what (if!) to do... will keep updated this post.
