Apple on Monday updated a pair of support documents relating to the release of macOS Mojave, outlining legacy Mac Pro compatibility via graphics card upgrades and support for Boot Camp on certain iMac models.
A first document walks users through installing macOS Mojave on the Mid 2010 and Mid 2012 Mac Pros. As mentioned previously, these machines did not ship with GPUs that support Metal — Apple's 3D graphics API — and must be updated before upgrading to macOS Mojave.
Apple lists a series of GPUs that support Metal, and thereby macOS Mojave, for those looking to keep their aging workhorses up to date.
The following cards are known to be Metal-compatible:
- MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 128-bit 4GB GDRR5
- SAPPHIRE Radeon PULSE RX 580 8GB GDDR5
- SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7950 Mac Edition
- NVIDIA Quadro K5000 for Mac
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Mac Edition
Apple also lists cards that 'might also be compatible' with macOS Mojave:
- AMD Radeon RX 560
- AMD Radeon RX 570
- AMD Radeon RX 580
- AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100
- AMD Radeon RX Vega 56
- AMD Radeon RX Vega 64
- AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100
- AMD Radeon Frontier Edition
To check which graphics card is currently installed in a given Mac, press and hold the Option key and navigate to Apple menu > System Information > Graphics/Displays. Compatible cards will show 'Supported' next to the Metal entry.
A second support document helps resolve the 'Installation cannot proceed with Boot Camp configured' alert that might show up on certain iMac models when attempting to install macOS Mojave.
