Installed Catalina without issue. Every piece of software recognizes the R VII except FCPX when rendering. The card shows up in Playback/Rendering preferences but no effect. I have tried other SMBIOSes, with and without headless mode. Nothing. I thought the Mac Pro 7,1 SMBIOS would release more performance from the card, but so far not in FCPX.

A FCPX update showed up in the App Store. Installed and render acceleration with iMac 1,1 is back, with 1/3 of the activity of what Mojave showed in Activity Monitor, yet just as fast if not faster.

did you make sure that your iGPU is disabled in the bios?
