Hit the wall when OSX 10.14 was released, not to mention no more application updates.

Stick to cards with 2GB of memory and outputs that match the official Mac version.īottom line: if I had to get a really cheap Metal-capable graphics card, I would shoot for the NVS510 or the K2000D or one of the Radeon HD 7000 series. I have not yet dabbled with the GTX 680 cards (also Kepler-based) though I have read that they are easily flashable with the official ROM. Make sure you match up the outputs to the official Mac version of the HD 7950. (I recently picked up two 7770 for $50 each and one 7870 for $100 with this in mind.) The Radeon HD 7770, 7850, or 7870 run for well under $100 (or the 7970 / R9 280X for between $100 and $200) and use the netkas scripts to add EFI to the ROM. Only two six-pin booster power cables required.
The Radeon HD 7950 ($100-ish) is VERY EASY to flash with the official ROM so long as you get a card that matches the official Mac version (two mini-DP, one HDMI, and one DVI output). The NVS 510 ($50-ish) works and provides four mini-DP outputs. I have bought way too many graphics cards lately^. I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 running high Sierra, but the graphic card is not compatible with some audio plugins, I need the cheapest one so I can run my stuff smoothly without seeing a black GUI! Thanks 😊
