What MXM GPU card works with Metal

Hello

I want to change my working Radeon HD6770m 512 MB of my iMac Mid 2011 with a METAL capable replacement.

Any hints which model to choose? I have heard all PC MXM Cards should work, but I wonder which ones are the best supported for my iMac and its thermal Design, except Radeon HD 5xxx/6xxx.

Any Success stories here?

To start with you can’t swap out the MXM card with a PC version board as the firmware on the board needs to be Apples custom firmware.

You’ll need to wait a bit until the release of Mojave for the dust to settle to see what will be needed to get it to work.

Thx for your Comments, I set the Topic back for a while, but now I am willing to give it a new try.

How is the situation now? Which Card to go for?

I don't want to play, it should just be compatible with dosdude´s unsupported Mac Installs: www.dosdude1.com

Any hints?
