With the Radeon RX 580, your 2010-2012 Mac Pro will take full advantage of Metal, which is Apple’s 3D graphics and compute API released in 2014. In short, Metal allows your system and applications to efficiently tap into the capabilities of today’s graphics processors such as the Radeon RX 580. You’ll also get up to 12.5x better performance over the stock GPU for OpenCL, which allows you to take advantage of the parallel computing power of GPUs and multicore CPUs to accelerate compute-intensive tasks. The powerful card will ensure that your Mac is supported by Mojave and able to run the latest macOS smoothly.Īs you can see in our benchmarks below, not only does the Radeon RX 580 ensure full compatibility with macOS Mojave, but you’ll also get a performance boost that will make your silver tower Mac Pro a contender with the 2013 Mac Pro that features dual GPUs. One of the GPUs on the list is an OWC favorite – the Radeon RX 580. The document states that “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).”

As we’ve reported, the 20 Mac Pro models will support Mojave – as long as they have been upgraded with graphics cards that support Metal.Īpple released a support document that provides a list of graphics cards that are Metal-capable. Apple’s macOS 10.14 Mojave has been available to the world since September, and the Rocket Yard has outlined all Macs that are compatible with the new operating system.
