Sorry guys if I might ask a question, which has already been answered. I've tried to use the search, not only here, but also on other pages I'm a member of, but haven't been able to get as definite answer, so please be patient with me.
For over 6 years now, I've been running a hack using an i7 3770K and an AMD RADEON HD 7950. Everything works fine, not least because of the help I was able to find here. But now I'm starting to feel the need for an upgrade. Recently I cut my first 4K project with FCPX and it has been quite frustrating. Frame drops, wait times...nothing compared to the flawless workflow I was used to with 1080p material so far.
Therefore I thought it was time to start buying new components and the first thing coming out of my shopping cart is a VEGA 64.
Now the question:
I always thought that the thing to keep an eye on while choosing the SMBIOS is mostly the CPU. Therefore I'm running Mojave on a 13.2 SMBIOS. Since I'm just going to do 2 things: do a fresh install with Catalina and my brandnew VEGA, do I have to/should I change the SMBIOS too, or should I wait for this until I buy a new board and CPU?
