I just read that CheeseGraters with Metal enabled graphics cards are able to run Mojave. May that have been a part of the problem you had?So I gave up waiting for Nvidia to get an updated driver for Mojave.
Dropped a AMD Vega 56 into the CheeseGrater and all of my problems solved ... and I now have true 5K in 10Bit on my Dell 2715.
Had no idea how much better photo and video editing could be. Have to switch to 4K for regular work as the fonts are too small to read in 5K.
But that takes about 5 seconds.
All the irregularities in the system were due to the poor driver for the Nvidia card.
I'm in a dilemma here. My home Mac is a Pro 4,1 that runs High Sierra with Sierra Patcher, but there's probably no way to make it run Mojave, so I consider buying a higher specified 5,1 and install Mojave, but how do I know if the one I buy, second hand obviously, comes with Metal? Until now, "metal" to me was the stuff our magic welders at the workshop make impressive, big machines from :facesmack:
No, I'm not buying an Astray. The beauty of the CheeseGrater is its solid build, beautiful design, ability to carry 4 large HDDs (and yes, I still play DVDs), changing stuff without the toolbox of a Formula 1 team while possessing fingers as thin as pencils, as long as flag poles and with the flexibility of a Gorilla Pod etc. etc. It's the Grand Piano of Macs.
Edit:
1. There's already a Mojave Patcher available that will work with my 4,1:
macOS Mojave Patcher
2. At least two graphics cards that are Metal compatible will run with the 4,1:
- AMD Sapphire HD 9750 for Mac
- EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Mac Editition
Any of them will be a dramatic upgrade from the GeForce GT 120 that is currently installed, and obviously much cheaper than a 5,1 (that sells at Ashtray prices nowadays), so the upgrade path is pretty much set.
