I preferred the slim 580 to be able to put more PCIe cards in the Mac. Also the usb slots that come with the Mac have sufficient power to handle all my dongles and usb peripherals. But you can put a usb dock or usb powered hub to extend your needs as you power grows.
All the graphic hungry plugins will work just fine with the 580 and when you need to transcode some QuickTimes for use with protools video engine, it really get them render fast enough (if you come from a Mac Pro 5.1), even if they are lengthy.

I was going to start a new thread on this, but about to buy a new 2019 Macpro 16 core and was only considering the stock Radeon W5500X, but one of the MAIN reasons I am upgrading is speed of rendering NR plugs, freezing tracks and making Quicktime ref for clients. I heard that it's worth getting the +$400 W5700X 16G since it can help speed up making quicktimes in Protools?
Is there much truth to this and if so, how tangible is the speed of offline QT bounce?
