Default Re: Mac Pro 5.1 Mojave - what GPU cards work?

Has anyone tried this yet? Is it worth doing? EXACTLY which variant of GPU card are you using? Do you still get the grey 'boot' screen at startup or nothing until the 'login' screen? Is the latest version of Mojave OK?

I'm looking at this card currently on Amazon:

My Mac Pro was a 4.1 machine with CPU upgrade (12 cores) flashed to 5.1 spec, 48Gb memory, and Samsung 850 SSD (APFS) boot drive (sorry - haven't updated system details below yet).

Thanks in advance,

Martin.
Not sure about what Avid has "qualified"

But Apple has made this statement of Mojave capable GUP's (for Mid 2010 and 2012 I am guessing an upgraded 4.1 will work
I am going to get the Sapphire Pulse RX 580
