In both cases, hook up your monitor to the newly flashed card and enjoy Boot Screens and Correct System Profiler info! In case of Windows PC, shut down, remove the card and put it into your Mac Pro’s PCI Slot 1. Shut down your Mac Pro, unplug the card from PCI slot 3 (probably) and put it in slot 1 after you remove the old OEM you have.Run TechPowerUp GPU-Z and select the second graphics card, if you see it OK with all the card’s info and clock speeds, you’re done it right ☺.The info you will get MUST write Tahiti as the chip name)Ītiflash -unlockrom 1 , (I suggest you do this because some Bios files are in fact locked and can’t be flashed until unlocked, the XFX ones are indeed locked)Ītiflash -f -p 1 7950.rom (this is the flashing process, when it’s done flashing simply CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot to Windows on your PC or your Mac) While on DOS, give the following commands:Ĭd AtiFlash (this takes you to the folder we will use the program to flash the card)Ītiflash -ai 1 (remember that “1” means the second PCI card, not the main, it’s wise to have only the two graphic cards hooked on your computer.Reboot and select as Boot device the USB Dongle.On this folder put the files from AtiFlash download and the Rom file from the previous step (6). Inside the mounted USB Dongle create a folder and name it “AtiFlash”.

(Mine was named like this on this card model).Rename it to “7950.rom” to be readable with full name in DOS. After this process you will have a file that probably will be named as “”.

Should I leave it alone and just deal with the black screen until login, as per my Mac Pro 2,1 with an ATI Radeon HD 5870, or should I flash it with the proper ROM file? I intend to upgrade the quad core cpu to a 3ghz 6 core XEON and run OSX Mohave. I know the Sapphire Radeon R9 280X VAPOR-X OC is a great video card as per all the reviews on it, and it should boot into High Sierra without flashing the ROM. ($38) I have built three 2,1 Mac Pro machines, and one 3,1 so this is my first one that isn't obsolete lol. I just picked up a Mac Pro 5,1 (mid 2010) with the ATI HD 5770 stock video card in it, and want a better card, so I picked up a Sapphire Radeon R9 280X VAPOR-X OC card for CHEAP. You can still boot Snow Leopard with this bootrom. After the bootrom is updated your MP will restart and boot to the Mojave installation screen.

It will prompt you to restart your Mac holding the power button in to put it into EFI update mode. Just download Public Beta 6 and start the installation.

You also don't need to actually install Mojave to install this EFI update.
It doesn't provide bootscreens with non-flashed cards but it does allow you to update the MP's EFI without a flashed graphics card in future as well as dispensing with the resistor mod. I don't know about a EFI update for 5.1 yet, if you mean that one coming for users running Mojave, read about that, would be great to be able to use any Radeon card whatsoever fully with bootscreen and 5.0 Linkspeed, but hopefully this update would not bring other limitations like impossibility to boot older OSX.
