I see that the Apple Mojave beta site is now showing:
macOS Mojave supports:
…
- Mac Pro (Late 2013, plus mid 2010 and mid 2012 models with recommended Metal-capable GPU, including MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 and Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 580).
Why is Apple recommending cards that will not show a boot screen??
Anyway I looked for these at Amazon - of course with both of these there are multiple versions on this and other vendor’s web sites - so choosing the right one is not quite as simple as the Apple guidance suggests:
One of them is labeled as MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 from Amazon and for sale at just $145.18

Although this inserts in the no.1 PCIe slot the specs say it uses only 8 lanes (not the 16 available in that slot) - can this really work with Mojave?
The other specifically mentioned by Apple is a Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 580 also with several version on Amazon…one at $299

Looked like a good buy until I read in one of the reviews “you have to have the REAL 5,1, not the 2009s that were flashed to 5,1... because you need PCI 2.0 to get any performance out of the card at all."
I have a 4.1 flashed to 5.1 so back to the drawing board???
Two questions;
- Does anyone have any experience of running Mojave beta on a 4.1 flashed to 5.1 using the MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560?
- Does anyone have any experience of running Mojave beta on a 4.1 flashed to 5.1 using the a Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 580?
