If you want something higher end than that, look into the RX 580, also both are very recent and are still sold by retailers. Personally, I upgraded my old 2010 Mac pro’s GPU to an RX 560, works wonders, and I don’t need a boot screen so it’s not that much of an issue for me. I’d very highly reccomend I gotta updating to high Sierra, the Latest OS version always has more support for gpu’s.

I can help you find out if the gpu you’re looking into getting will work in the Mac you have.Īnother thing is that if you want to put a recent gpu in, AKA an RX 500 series gpu or something within the past few years. Click to expand.Also depends if you want a boot up screen, you can buy almost any normal gpu and it’ll work in the Mac, but if it’s a non Apple AKA non flashed GPU, you won’t get the Apple logo in the boot up screen, nor will you be able to go to startup manager or recovery mode with the unflashed gpu.įlashed gpu’s run for a lot more, if a flashed gpu is something you want, look on otherwise, do your research before buying a new GPU, especially in the area of compatibility with your Mac Pro.
