Resolution will, if in 3D environment etc. The monitor size won’t affect the GPU performance. I guess you want to say HD5870, there is no Mac Pro shipped with 5850. The Sapphire PULSE RX580 8GB card is definitely OOTB because that's the only card officially supported by Apple eGPU developer kit.įor video editing, RX580 should be a pretty good choice as well. Any reference RX580 should work, but if you want a more specific card. Then RX580 should be the best choice for High Sierra. But if you want 100% OOTB solution with boot screen. All after market coolers are better than that Mac Edition card's reference cooler, and most of the 7950 out there are about 80% cheaper then OWC asking for. A reference 79xx card comes with dual ROM, virtually flash proof. Then Option 1 may be your best choice.įor me, I will definitely get a 7950 (R9 280) or 7970 (R9 280X) and flash it by myself.
Or your card will be mainly use in FCPX etc (OpenCL performance is more important). Of course, if you don't mind to pay more, get less.

Then it will be fully OOTB and boot screen available.Īvoid anything above GTX780, all Maxwell and Pascal card require Nvidia web driver to work, even with boot screen available, they are not OOTB solution (not even close IMO).
So, you can pick one from him (up to GTX780 Rev A). Also, to develop the Mac EFI and flash a Nvidia card can be much much more work then you can imagine. His card still more expensive than the PC equivalent, but at least the price difference won't be so ridiculous like the PC 7950 vs Mac 7950. Option 1 and 2 most likely way overprice (if compare to the non Mac Edition card) Since you said OOTB, so option 5 is ruled out. With boot screen, basically only 5 optionsġ) The 7950 Mac Edition card as the above statedĢ) The GTX680 Mac Edition card which only exist in used market nowĤ) Get a flashed card from an unknown source (e.g.
