Re: [Avid-L2] Recommendations for upgrading GPU on MacPro 2010

Yes.  The card is primarily aimed at PCs since Apple no longer sells new computers that are appropriate for this card.  The card lacks an EFI which means that you get a black screen until the OS fully loads.  This also prevents you from holding down the option key during boot to get a choice of boot disks.  If that's an important feature to you, you should stick to Mac cards.  A work around would be to hold on to your old card to pop in when you need to do that.

Thanks Pierre.  The whole video card thing is a bit confusing.  AMD makes much more expensive cards that they promote as specifically for video post/animation.

Is it the case with the RX580 that you get a black screen on boot up until it gets to the login screen?  Is that because it is a PC card that hasn't been "flashed" for Mac?
