I have a work Mac Pro (Mid 2010) running El Capitan and am considering the upgrade to Mojave (using a new hard drive to not overwrite work stuff). Apple lists one of the requirements to upgrade is a Metal compatible card. The usual suspects for upgrades are trotted out on several Apple threads (AMD 5x0-series) but I'd like to know what is the cheapest option that's worked for this kind of upgrade.
I'm aware that this is not the Mac sub-forum but I spend the majority of my [H] time here and I trust the AMD sub-forum more than the Mac sub-forum for this kind of question. I will consider a cheap nVidia card but would prefer to stick with the AMD camp for this machine. I'd actually love to get a 290x but I doubt the PSU would agree (whilst this machine sips power on idle when all 12 cores are being used it draws a lot) and I doubt a Mac-flashed card would be cheap...
