Apple's new macOS Mojave update is not compatible with mid-2010 and mid-2012 Mac Pros with stock GPUs, but it is supported on 2010 and 2012 Mac Pro models that have been upgraded with graphics cards that support Metal.

Apple today shared a new support document that provides a list of graphics cards that are Metal-capable, which will be useful for 2010 and 2012 Mac Pro owners who want to purchase a new graphics card to upgrade to macOS Mojave.


According to Apple, the following graphics cards are known to be Metal-capable and compatible with macOS Mojave on the mid-2010 and mid-2012 Mac Pro models:

  • 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 other AMD graphics cards that "might" 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


You can check to see if your graphics card is compatible by holding down option while selecting Apple logo to access System Information. Under Graphics/Displays, if "Supported" is listed next to the Metal entry, the graphics card will work with macOS Mojave.

According to Apple, once a Metal-capable graphics card has been installed in a 2010 or 2012 Mac Pro, macOS Mojave can be downloaded and installed after turning off FileVault.
