However, they have also been directing people to the eGPU support page, which includes AMD Vega graphics cards as well. Both features work in Windows 10 via Boot Camp!Īpple recommends certain AMD Polaris graphics cards for the Mac Pro 5,1 to run Mojave including the 'MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 and Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 580' as stated on the public beta FAQ page.
