Hi there,
I have a Mac Pro 2012 with a pair of ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphic cards installed. I’ve learned to put up with their limitations for a long time however I’m curious if it would be possible to replace these cards with newer and better ones rather than having to upgrade my entire system.
1) Can I use any graphics card in my Mac Pro? I was always under the impression that there were certain limitations meaning that I could only use select models or versions specifically configured for the system or the Mac OS itself.
2) I have seen a few videos on YouTube of people installing an RX 580 into their older Mac Pro systems which has further piqued my interest. Would this card support multiple displays like my HD 5770s?
3) My current setup consists of 3 monitors (the highest resolution I use on one of the displays currently is 1920x1080). Can anyone offer suggestions for graphics card upgrades that will support this monitor setup if the RX 580 cannot?
4) My Radeon HD 5770s work fine for regular use, however I am mainly feeling the strain when it comes to playing newer games in Bootcamp. Is the RX 580 a logical upgrade for this purpose or are there any suitable alternatives?
Kind Regards,
Matt
