Boot screens, Boot picker screen, works with firmware updates and has Audio out in Mojave and Catalina.

You'll soon be able to put the same card in your 2008-2012 Mac Pro that comes in the new $6,000.00 monster from Cupertino. 

​Stay tuned for Vega news.

Caveat #1: 3,1 will boot, it is up to you to patch SSE4 libraries, etc. The EFI works, rest up to you.

UPDATE: To clarify, these cards are 95% done. Will be offering 580s for pre-order as soon as I remember how to add a product to the website. US MVC will be shipping within 2 weeks, barring any roadblocks .I believe our European partners will be onboard as well.

Are you going to offer flashing services to those who already have those cards?

I just missed ordering your EFI Mac RX 580 8GB card this weekend, could kick myself. Because I came across your poor on Friday and wants to make sure I could return
the AMD RX580 8GB I just had ordered from OWC, before I saw your flashed versions. I see I can send my card to you for an EFI flash. However, can you let me know first if you are going to sell anymore of those cards yourself? IF so, I would wait for that, not in a rush.

Very cool. How about the WX equivalent cards eg WX4100/5100/7100/9100?

This is great news. Do you have any info/answers on the following points:

1) Will you offer flashing service for people who already have a card?

2) Will the flash include any power management to keep the cards safely within the power and thermal envelopes of a 5,1?

I'd be happy to pay you to flash my 580. Not having the boot screen is a pain when something goes wrong.

Very nice work. What happens when the card is connected to a 4K display over DP1.2? Does it boot properly and show bootscreens in 4K@60Hz?

I hope he offers DIY flashing for a change. The firmware work, I’m happy to pay for. The international shipping back and forth? Less happy.

This is great news, although I would need a card stronger than the RX580. I'll keep checking in for the WX7100 and the WX9100 or the Radeon VII. I'm over compensating I know but I have to. I need those kinds of cards just to match the mid level cards from the more superior nvidia line up.

I got the RX 580 8GB a few days ago, and love it! I would have gotten a replacement card here, but AMD options are lacking. It was a surprisingly nice update from my MVC 7970 (which died after a local lightning storm). Three days later, I'm needing my boot screen and having to swap out video cards. I'll be watching for when the flash becomes available.

At present I have edited my RX 580 Pulse ROM to activate the "no Zero RPM" at BIOS level (fans always spinning), could this feature be preserved when flashing the card for boot screen?

I have a mac pro 3,1. Would like to either purchase a flashed 8GB RX580 or send one in to be flashed. I need to run Mojave to support some other software I need that has a minimum OS of Mojave.
