That is, cards that were designed for these Macs.Īnybody try that already?I have two ATI HD 5770 from XFX both work flawless one at the time. In checking the more recently there has been a response from a level 8 responder, which states thatAfter much digging, there are only two official cards for a 5,1 Mac Pro that support Metal. Which card should I upgrade to?The reality is that definite information was hard to come by, there didn’t appear to be any Apple recommended Metal compatible graphics cards. If you wish to use a Mid 2010 or Mid 2012 Mac Pro with macOS Mojave then you will need to upgrade your graphics card if you wish to run Mojave on your cheese-grater.Which leads to the obvious question that Karl and a number of others have asked on social media. This triggered questions from a number of you like Karl Mainzer who asked: “Can you recommend a decent Metal compatible graphics card?” Once I started to research this it became clear it would be better to answer this with a dedicated article.The first thing to be aware of is that neither of the stock graphics cards used in the cheese-graters, the Radeon 5770 or the Nvidia GeForce GT120 graphics cards are metal compatible.



In our article Apple announced that Mojave would be supported on Macs introduced in mid-2012 or later, plus 20 Mac Pro models as long as they had a recommended Metal-capable graphics cards.
