Hello guys,
I've recently got a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and it seems to run decently well. I've used it as my linux machine for a while but then I wanted to upgrade its gpu. I acquired an HP-OEM AMD Radeon RX580, and it works just fine when I tested it on my other PC. However, after I installed it in the Mac Pro, it just cannot output anything no matter I connected my monitor to the HDMI or the Displayport. I then tried swapping in a Radeon RX5500, but still nothing. I am using a dual 6-pin pcie power to 8-pin adapter I got on Amazon to power the cards, and it seems to fit well, but I just don't know if that is the problem. Only the original card is able to output the video and take me to the graphic login screen at this point.
Best regards,
William
