October 21, 2018 I have a 2009 Mac Pro (with 5.1 firmware) and this graphics card works great with the machine. Currently using with a Samsung 34” curved monitor (with thunderbolt). I am using the HDMI output of the Sapphire and no issues at all.

Verified Buyer Reviewer: Karltech Location: knoxville, tn Age: Over 65 Experience Level: Power User Owned Product: 3-4 months Rating: 4/5 HD 7950 October 14, 2018 I tried a NVIDIA card that required a special download driver because apple doesn't like them. Then one day I upgraded my system without upgrading the driver FIRST, that resulted in a devastating mess. It was a fairly quiet and very robust card, I like it a lot - but one slip up and you will be in a world of hurt. Now the HD 7950 is a little less cost, has only one fan which makes it sound louder, that can be a bit annoying if your computer is positioned on the desk. Function wise it is as good as you can get for the price range. This card handles two monitors with ease, check the specs for details. The most important feature is that the drivers are built into the OS, upgrades and replacing components will have no effect on the operation of the card.

The HD 7950 is plug and play. The drivers on the CD* are not needed because Mac OS 10.13 has integrated the drivers for the graphic card.

Next step upgrade to OS 10.14. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from. Customer Videos.

Getting the Mac edition allows me to see the Mac boot sequence which is a huge bonus for upgrading components or future OS upgrades. Worked perfectly upon install no drivers required in high sierra.
