The stock graphics card in the Mac Pro 5,1 is not supported by Mojave (or more specifically the new Metal graphics engine employed by Mojave and previous versions of macOS). See this article for Apple Approved graphics cards

On another note, (and this may just be me) but the (mac flashed )AMD Radeon R9 280X (which is the same family as the AMD Radeon HD 7000 family) that I have work seems to behave much better with a Full HD (1920x1080) screen via HDMI than my old Apple 27" LED Cinema. Much snappier performance and big sessions that droppped out before are now looping endlessly.
Go figure.
