Ultimate Mac Pro 5,1 One More Thing…

janvier 18, 2024 Mourad ELGORMA

This video shows you how to flash EnableGop into your Mac Pro 5,1 Boot ROM enabling the native Mac OS boot picker with almost any graphics card. If your GPU works in OpenCore it will work with EnableGOP and this really gives you the Ultimate Mac Pro 5,1!

Remember to disable SIP if it is not already disabled which you need to do when installing opencore or flashing firmware with El Cap or later.

How to Disable SIP ( I forgot to note this in the video)
Boot into recovery mode
Open the Terminal app
Type “csrutil disable” without the quotes
Hit the Enter key
A message will confirm System Integrity Protection is now disabled
Restart your Mac
