A full detailed guide to add Thunderbolt support using a Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge Card to a Mac Pro 5,1 is here. This is my story to get Apple Thunderbolt Displays working with my Mac Pro Early 2009 (5,1) assuming that Thunderbolt support is already added using Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge Card. Don't believe me? Go to MacRumor's forums, bigger geeks there than here.Home ▸ Thunderbolt Mac Pro Early 2009 with Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge Card ▸ Mac Pro Early 2009 + Apple Thunderbolt Display Mac Pro Early 2009 + Apple Thunderbolt Display I have a Vega 64 in my Mac Pro, Protools runs fine. Same chipsets, that there's more Shading Units, higher clock speeds, memory speeds etc. Search for Definitive Mac Pro Upgrade, or go to the Mac Rumors Boot Manager, there's a few software packages to assist with thi.Īs far as Protools "tested" its BS you can use any of the Polaris 20 GPUs, with Protools, like the RX 570/RX 580.

You won't have the ability to Option-key boot but at least you can swap OSes. That said there's a bunch of boot managers to take care of mutli-OS booting. Otherwise if you want a metal compatible GPU, there's very few GPUs with EFI options. He's now working on Radeon RX series cards, my guess is he got ahold of a MacBook Polaris EFI ROM and was able to hack it. He's done this for years with the NVidia cards, as a Netkas forum member (if you've flashed a GPU in the past decade, then it probably came from there) then went his own way. Basically a guy living in LA named Dave who's a pricky-character hacks GPU ROMs, and thus for his hard work, keeps the BIOS to himself.

MacVidCards is now flashing the Radeon 580s with custom ROMs, and I believe there's a european partner.

There are very few flashable to compatible EFI bootscreen cards for Mac and they're all very old. This means we are completely at the mercy of AMD and Apple continuing to provide future improved MPX modules. will bother to produce either a proprietary MPX version for Macs or even a standard and hence slower card for Macs. These presumably do have Mac firmware but since the clearly preferred way of fitting a video card is a proprietary one it is extremely unlikely even AMD based cards from OEMs e.g. Apple ship (will ship) the Mac Pro 2019 with proprietary versions of AMD video cards which use a proprietary form factor called the 'MPX module'.As a result it is currently impossible to use an Nvidia card with a Mac Pro 2019 regardless of whether it has Mac firmware or not.

Apple are still at war with Nvidia and not allowing Nvidia to provide approved drivers which would work with Mojave.

Unfortunately for two reasons this is looking doubtful. I had hoped that the launch of the Mac Pro 2019 model which has PCIe slots and can use in theory standard PCIe video cards might encourage video makers to consider making cards with Mac firmware. The makers of PCIe video cards stopped making versions with Mac firmware because no Mac since 2012 has been sold which could use such cards. 'newest' card that can be flashed with Mac firmware is the AMD Radeon R9 280x which is even older than the RX560. As far as I recall the highest model i.e.
