Is there a card that will give me the same 3 outputs as I have with the ATI Radeon HD 5770, while also supporting Metal?MacOS Mojave requires a graphics card that supports Metal, an Apple technology that lets the system and apps efficiently tap into the capabilities of today’s graphics processors (GPUs).Do these cards need flashing of custom firmware/ROMs?.As this is for development purposes, what options do I have for cards that are stable/have stable drivers?.I'm currently running four displays with a ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB card + a NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT 256 MB, neither of which supports Metal as far as I can tell. What's the current state of graphic cards with Metal support?Īs far as I've understood, the limitations posted by Apple of not supporting models before 2012 are due to their own configurations of Mac Pro never shipping with a compatible graphics card, so it's not due to the HW of the Mac Pro itself, or any artificial limitations on the software side.

I have a Mid 2010 Mac Pro (MacPro5,1), running High Sierra, that is in need of Metal support for graphics development purposes (not gaming).
