AMD Radeon RX 5700 works in macOS Catalina 10.15.1 beta 2 | AppleInsider

Apple is extending its support of AMD GPUs to macOS Catalina, with the second developer beta for macOS 10.15.1 enabling Radeon RX5700 compatibility with the operating system, possibly as a first step ahead of support for the Mac Pro's Radeon Pro Vega II and Duo cards.

ok reading through the last 4 pages, i am still at a lose as to what card to buy... I am not into gaming but need a card that will support Mojave and Cat ... for dare i say it on a skin budget, i see lots of back and forth but whats the bare minimum, yes i looked at GK107 and GK108 etc but i am confused as gpuzoo doent list gK108 but they do list GK208 ????
i love the os, but getting pricey on a low budget income to keep even close to updated ... and if i buy a GK108 card will that stop the install error of Cannot install osx 10.15 on this system error i get, ? .. thanks in advance

Hi
I'm curretly updating to Mojave my old HTPC with a Sandybridge HD3000 which is not supported anymore by Mojave.

I am therefore looking for a fanless low end graphic card. Fanless GT710 would be a good choice, quite cheap but apparently only until 2021.

What would be the AMD equivalent ?

Thanks

What would be the AMD equivalent ?

There really is no equivalent to that from AMD. The 710 is 2nd gen Kepler from about 2014. Apple never supported any good low end fanless cards from AMD. You could look at the ATI/AMD Radeon guide that is linked at the end of post #1. There might be an older AMD card that would work. RX 560s are great but the prices are high due to scarcity.

Here's a fanless Asus GT 710 you can get for $29. Use it for two years with Mojave/Catalina then upgrade with an AMD Polaris card after prices have come down. $14.50 a year for graphics that work well is a drop in the ocean.

The drivers for most if not all of the older Silent/fanless AMD Radeon cards such as the HD 6450 and R5 230 were dropped with the release of Mojave.

I have a couple of systems using the HD 6450, but have had to swap out one for an Nvidia GT710 to run anything beyond High Sierra.

Just wanted to make sure I can swap out my nVidia 950 for this card and it will work OOB and nothing else is needed on the software side? Thanks. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y3RT952/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

I've got the Aorus version of that card. Good choice. All I use is Lilu and WEG kexts installed to /L/E and it works.

I have a combination of an i7-3770 and a GTX 1050ti. If I enable the IGPU and set it to primary in BIOS, all I get is a blinking cursor while trying to boot clover. It seems like the only way to use IGPU is to remove the 1050ti manually. If I set the IGPU to always enabled and 1050ti as primary, I get into clover, but Mojave doesn't boot. I tried patching DSDT, but that didn't work either. Any ideas?

Upgraded to a GT 730 (Gigabyte GV-N730SL-2GL) on a PC rig a few years ago.

Turned out to be the GK208 variant, it outputs 2K via DVI-D and is Metal compatible too!

This is off topic for this thread. See: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ards-with-native-support.283700/#post-2015861

I'd like to keep this thread focused on natively supported Nvidia cards. Not the 1050 Ti or Intel integrated graphics troubleshooting. Thanks.
