I successfully upgraded the CPu for an i7 “4core 870” (38$ eBay), 32Gb Ram(88$ eBay 4x8gb), Samsung Evo 850 1TB SSD (99$ eBay) and a GTX 765M 2GB GPu (79$ eBay). It such a great system and I wanted to upgrade before even considering the price of a competent new iMac.Īs of last month. I was running a 2010 27” with i5, 16Gb Ram, 256SSD + 3TB 3.5” HD, and the stock 1GB(512GB) GPU.

So stay away from the 5+6000 HD cards or get an Nvidia card, which runs cooler, and run the patch till Apple starts to NOT use intel chips (around 2020-2021 ?) anymore and we ALL have to either wait for a hack or buy a new Mac! I expect that the performance relative to newer iMacs isworth the $$ that I'm saving from getting a newer Mac that only runs moderately faster yet costs tremendously more. I have found that the HD4670 / HD4850 cards work really good, and i’m not playing games, but there are 2GB cards that work( with out the boot screen ) but they are older cards and their performance is…dated.Īll in all though, my 20 27” iMacs with a HD4670/HD4850 cards run Mojave quite nicely, with an SSD HDD and Mac Fan Control installed so I never have heat problems or noisy fans. You can try a lot of mxm cards from other venders, like HP etc…and if you already have the Mojave patch up and running, then you must wait for the log in screen, until then it will be blank/black.īUT not all cards work at that point, just be patient.
The only thing I have found is that Netflix does not work in Safari…but it does in Chrome… Imac 4670 cards will work in Mojave with dosdude1 patch just fine. So fine, I will buy this HD 7650a and attempt to patch it and run it in my iMac, then maybe the misinformation, dated theory, and “You can’t”s will finally cease. I know 3rd party patches exist for graphic cards to work with Macs, and AMD is better supported. Unfortunately, as my machine is the 21.5”, a full MXM card will not fit, only the half size. As far I know, the latest and greatest consumer MXM graphics cards from both the Red and Green Teams are the RX 580 and the GTX 1080. I know we are still in the Beta stages, but surely someone knows more than just a list of compatible Macs, what’s the REASON behind them being compatible?ĮDIT (12/16/18): I am surprisingly disappointed no one has tried this yet. If I flash this card to Apple’s firmware, and use a Mojave patch tool, will this machine see any issues running the latest OS? If you can verify compatibility, please do. So, I have found a cheap mxm graphics card, HD 7650a 2GB, that apparently is supported (as it is a 7000 series AMD card). The only thing I have found, is that my GPU doesn’t support metal. So, my real question is, why can’t my machine run Mojave?

I also have a compatible wifi/bluetooth 4.0 card lying around, but I didn’t install as it is a solder-job (and this is my family’s computer). So I have a iMac Mid 2010, fitted with 16GB of RAM, an SSD, an HD 5670 512mb, and now an i5 680 (and a blu-ray drive!).
