HDX-card, Radeon RX 580 8GB and power consumption
I have an HDX card in my MacPro5,1.
Looking at a ”Radeon RX 580 8GB Graphics Upgrade for Mac Pro 2010-2012”. https://macpatric.com/products/amd-r...62c29d8b&_ss=r The graphics card needs both of the two connectors on the motherboard. (PCIE AUX A / PCIE AUX B), but the HDX card uses the first one. Anybody with a similar setup and a solution?

Re: HDX-card, Radeon RX 580 8GB and power consumption
in my (admittedly hazy) recollection i believe i sold the graphics card that was supplied with my MP and replaced it with a card that only required a single power connection. i don't recall that there was an option that supported the upgrade you're looking at.

Re: HDX-card, Radeon RX 580 8GB and power consumption
Searched this forum, but got more confused...
Some possible solutions I can think of: 1. Compatible graphics card that supports 3840x2160 that only needs one power cable. 2. Expansion chassis. 3. External power for the graphics card. 4. Share one of the connectors (PCIE AUX A or PCIE AUX B) if there is enough power for both cards. 5. eGPU (But I guess there is no way to install that on a MacPro5,1)

i ended up with the Radeon HD 5770; works fine driving two monitors but only at 1920 x 1080.

Is the Radeon HD 5770 Mojave compatible (Metal)?
What’s the solution if you run only one display?

Re: HDX-card, Radeon RX 580 8GB and power consumption
Are there any Mojave compatible graphics card that only needs one power cable available?
