punk Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hello Guys So, i need some help to choose a new GPU for my New Hackingtosh Setup. According to the size of my mATX case I need a Low Profile GPU or something that is not that big. I did some research and found the Sapphire Radeon RX 550 Pulse and Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 560 GPUs. Could someone tell me if these GPUs are compatible with macOS Mojave?

Cyberdevs Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 @punk RX560 has a better support in macOS so I suggest using the RX560 rather than RX550.

Thank You Sapphire works pretty ok under macOS, I had an Asus RX560 4GB that was working OOB and I'm still using my Asus RX 580 OC Top but the RX560 isn't a Low Profile card it's a two slot GPU.

I am currently using this Case model CEMO / Youze 9001 Do you think Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 560 will work in this case?

Cyberdevs Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 As far as I can tell it won't fit inside that chassis. The chassis dimensions are: 33x22x9.5 cm and the Asus RX 560's dimensions are 19.4x12x3.5 Centimeter so it's bigger than the chassis Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/344736-sapphire-radeon-rx-550-pulse-and-rog-strix-radeon-rx-560-macos-mojave/#findComment-2732836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 This is a better choice for that chassis I guess but I'm not sure https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-560-4GT-LP-OC/Specification Dimensions are: 168 x 69 x 39 mm or this one maybe: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/msi-rx-560-aero-itx-oc-4-gb.b7602 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/344736-sapphire-radeon-rx-550-pulse-and-rog-strix-radeon-rx-560-macos-mojave/#findComment-2732837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberdevs Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 In general PowerColor GPUs are good but as I mentioned before RX550 isn't supported natively so you need to keep that in mind. The second link I posted above is almost the same size just slightly bigger check it out.

Cyberdevs Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 AFIAK Navi GPUs are only supported in macOS Catalina 10.15.1 and newer I don't think that they are supported in Mojave.
