You are being clear, and I appreciate you trying to help, but I'm telling you I WAS on High Sierra when I purchased and downloaded FCPX from the app store, it turned out to be FCPX for Mojave because they won't sell you FCPX for High Sierra anymore, I confirmed that with Apple Support, they told me to upgrade to Mojave, to do so it turned out I needed to purchase a 'metal compatible' graphics card, then it turned out the Nvidia graphics card that was on the list of compatible graphics cards from apple did not have a driver for Mojave, so now I either need to buy a new graphics card or downgrade my OS and re-install FCPX. So either I need to downgrade to High Sierra (10.13.6) and run FCPX on 10.13.6 OR I need to try and re-sell the Nvidia K5000 and buy a different metal-compatible graphics card that will work with Mojave (10.14.6).īut if I downgrade, I need to get a copy of FCPX that will run on high sierra (10.13.6) because Apple will no longer give you a copy that runs on high sierra (10.13.6). Thus, the video card that Apple says is compatible with Mojave isn't actually compatible with Mojave because Nvidia don't make a driver, and when I try and use the generic apple drivers with the Nvidia K5000, the Mac Pro boots up but is very unreliable when trying to do anything that involves the graphics card (gets very slow, hangs, etc). BUT, it turns out that Nvidia don't supply a driver for Mojave (10.14.6) only for High Sierra (10.13.6).
#Mac os sierra compatibility with fcp7 for mac#
I purchased an NVIDIA Quadro K5000 for Mac per /en-us/HT208898 because that is one of the few supported graphics cards. Thus you need to purchase a metal-compatible graphics card.
With a 2012 Mac Pro, you cannot install Mojave using the original graphics card, because the original graphics card is not metal-compatible. They only let you purchase for Mojave (10.14.6). The app store won't let you purchase FCPX for High Sierra (10.13.6) anymore. When I said 10.14.6 I was talking about Mojave.
