Hey So I bought a AMD FirePro W7000 and Currently have it running in my Mac Pro 2009 4.1 along side my EVGA GTX 980 SC so my Mac Pro is boubling as a workstation and Gaming desktop.

The W7000 is great for the OpenCL stuff like FCPX but it would be nice to have the Apple Logo back at boot up and in the back of my mind the main reason I bought the card is its Identical in every way to a D300 (but VRAM on the W7000 is 4GB.)

SO my plan was to try to install the D300 EFI Bio's on my W7000. the funny thing is the card shows up as "AMD Prototype 7xxx" in OSX El Capitan System Report.

So my question is has anyone extracted the UEFI Bio's from the D300 yet ? its been a nightmare to find.
 
How did you get this card set up? And any luck on the flashing process?

I'm still using the card as is with my 980 working fine as is and getting same performance as any other machine with w7000 but I need a D300 bios to get that apple logo back. it is amazing how close these card are in spec's the Bios would need slight modification before installing it on this card as they aren't the exact same card I thing the W7000 is slightly more powerful than the D300 thanks to the 4GB VRAM.
