Hello all,
I'm upgrading a noisy 5870 in a Mac Pro 5,1 running Sierra 10.12.6 to a RX580. I've read the threads below and got the eGPU recommended Sapphire Pulse RX580. It's coming Thursday. Despite reading those threads, I'm still a bit confused as to what cabling I will need. Can I use the cables from my 5870 and plug it into the new card?
If not, are there any cables I can get on short notice to get this in the computer soon? The noise from this fan is driving me nuts. The cables recommended in one of the threads ship from china so I probably won't see them for two weeks at minimum. The other one mentioned from amazon is unavailable:
Will this work?:

Any help greatly appreciated.
