Best graphics card for 2010 Mac Pro that is supported out of box

You have two different problems here.
First is that you still have the original 2.26GHz x55xx Gainestown Xeons, these processors are not supported anymore after 10.14.3. With 10.14.4-6, you have audio stuttering and video playback problems. Your only option is to upgrade to Westmere Xeons. There is an enormous thread about this, use the search.
The second one is the lack of HEVC support for Polaris/VEGA/VII GPUs.
Then something is wrong. With HWAccel, VLC should able to pay almost any high quality HEVC video easily. At least that’s what happened on my Mac so far.
If in doubt, you can send me some sample videos from your camera, then I can tell you if I can play that smoothly with other player.
Since you have a dual CPU MP4,1 that uses dual socket Xeons without a lid, you have to delid yourself or buy already delided Xeons. eBay has sellers that sell kits of already delided Xeons with everything ready.
X5677, X5680, X5690 are the most commonly bought.
Mac Pro CPU Compatibility List
Bokkow and I have created a Mac Pro CPU compatibility list. The intent is to cover all relevant and compatible CPU upgrades for all Mac Pros. These are asked about over and over and over again, so I thought it would be nice to have it all in one place. Constructive criticism, corrections to...

Hello i found the video proc as a hardware acceleration does anybody have experience with this program?
So if it worths to try it ...

VideoProc's Full GPU Acceleration Makes Video Editing Faster
Full GPU hardware acceleration makes large (4K) video conversion, editing, rendering faster, and terminates freezes, laggy playback, endless buffering, etc.

IMO, this software has nothing special.
HWAccel is a system wide function, either all software can use it, or all software can't use it.
VideoProc is handy to confirm if HWAccel is working on a Mac, but it won't provide any HWAccel to any Mac (including cMP regardless which GPU you installed)
So it is not needed the hardware acceleration after all to playback and edit high quality videos , because when i updated at Mojave as first every video was running like a butter at FCP X but after the update( without knowing what was wrong ) the video at FCPX is so sluggish like never was with high sierra and radeon 5870 ... so the only solution is to buy another CPU and not hardware acceleration ...?
Also what is delighted CPU ?

A very happy CPU. A delidded CPU on the other hand is one that has had the upper packaging removed. ;-)
i did the upgrade and now i have a 2 x6-core 3,46Ghz mac pro and the problems with stuttering videos and problem with sound also gone . So it was that apple decided from a point to create problems to the basic cpu series of mac pros .... fortunately there is MacRumors and the community to help the owners , at any other situation i would have my mac pro for sale ...

Apple can't expect you flash a 4,1 to 5,1.
So, we can't say that they intentionally make your original config 4,1 doesn't work well in an unsupported macOS (Mojave).
i have upgraded my CPU and i believe now i can use from 1066 ram to 1333 . I had 8x4gb rams but after the update i inserted only 6 of them . is it better for performance to use the 6 slots and also will it worth to upgrade the rams from 1066 to 1333 ?
In general, no. The difference is very negligible in real world.
In benchmark, yes. For most real world scenario, no.
Benchmark almost always gets better scores with 6 modules.
Real world for RAM intensive operations almost always performs better with 8 modules.
This is really venturing off topic at this point. Please move further RAM discussions to the RAM threads.

It needs to be said (emphasised?) that @h9826790 has done some granular feature analysis of Video Proc and each of his observations are correct (basically - it's the little things that lie to you). As it stands now, users think it's safe to rely on the software for basic GPU diagnostic information. In essence, they have exaggerated GPU detection and usability for Mac owners. Incomplete or lazy coding will report 'default' detection profiles where user hacks have been implemented to force GPU hardware accel features.
Digiarty does not fall in to my blacklist of incompetent or untrustworthy publishers - maybe they will improve on the integrity of this module in future releases. Fingers crossed.

Thank you all for the important information‘s and your experiences with updating and upgrading your Mac pros! I very liked it! After i bougt a secondhand 680 GTX and it’s broken it’s after three months of use, I decided to buy a new rx 580 suggested by Apple.but I don’t want to have problems by installing and fail valult, so my question: can I let the default graphic card ati 5770 inside and add additionaly the new rx 580? Will the power supply in the system Allow it?
Kind regards to all

You would have to power the rX580 8gb with the TWO x Mini 6pin to ONE x 8pin
You can power the HD5770 with a DUAL SATA to ONE 6 pin = conect this cable to one of your INTERNAL SATA bays.

But you can't have a metal and non-metal card together with Mojave.

With Bootscreen?
Are you referring to file vault above?
You cannot use file vault without an efi card.
