Ok So I have a "DELL RX580 8GB Reference" card and solar in Mojave it is performing well in my 12 core MacPro 5,1. "is not a 4,1>5,1"
UPDATE:I loaded the card into a windows machine as I was thinking of flashing the Bios to take the max power down from 160WATTs to 150 WATTS so it would be in the safe zone of a single 6 pin connector. Well When I loaded up the the bios editor Low and behind what did I see?
so no only are the rumors of this card being power limited in the BIOS to fit in a reduced power envelope true. It appears that the Envelope is FAR LOWER than I had expected and is WELL UNDER the 150 Watt limit of the single 6 pin connector!!! According to this it is 110 Watts!!!!!
So I'm going to I guess run a bench mark or 2 and see what it produces. I will come back and post results.
UPDATE 2: here are the stats but I will started a more in depth thread about this card HERE
I changed the list of remaining questions below now that the power issue is moot.
Remaining Questions:

Remaining Questions:
- This shows as a RX580 in windows and a RX480 in OS X. I have read some things that state that this is normal and lays the blame at the 2 cards actually having the same Deveice ID. If so though then how are other users with other RX580 cards having theirs show up as a RX580 in OSX
- is there some simple way to get HDMI audio working? I aways get points to these threads that have a tone of info for like a ton of processes for tone of different cards. does anyone know walkthrough specific for the RX580 cards? I have seen that there is a way to Mod the Bios for these cards. is there a way I can make this cards appear as a "Mac Edition" card. Also do "Mac Edition" cards have working HDMI audio?
