MP 7,1 Non-Apple Video Card Boot Screens?

[ZombiePhysicist]

Why'd you do all that? The card is 230 W. All you needed was the EVGA powerlink and a couple of extension cables? Unless I'm missing something? I have hard drives in the bays you took up with the extension cables though. Wanted to use those for that. Maybe you didn't need the other bays?

I don't know what an EVGA power link is, and I wasn't using all my bays. You may need a different solution. It all ended up moot when I went to my 7,1 which had plenty of power to feed the card.

1. Works up to Catalina so far. Haven’t gone up to Big Sur yet.
2. No mod needed. This is one of the reasons I purchased. I do run EVGA powerlink.
3. See no. 1.
4. No. Don’t need flashing. Works OOB.
5. I don’t understand the question. Opencore works beautifully with it on the first mini DP port.
6. Yes. Opencore for boot screen. Lets you install OS higher than Mojave, use HW Acceleration and FV on MP 5,1 because you have boot screen as well. Will work without Opencore and without boot screen up to Mojave. I think you can still use GT120 if you have the WX9100 installed. But it won’t display anything passed the boot screen because it’s not a metal card. I may be forgetting something because I removed GT120.

Okirun is correct. Mod may want to move this to another thread.

Regarding number 2... I read this and bought the EVGA powerlink only to find that it doesn't fit on my wx9100 due to the placement of the 6&8 pin connections. Did you make some odd reconfigurations of your own??
