I have been doing my own testing of Metal supported GPU. On top of the list of AMD Radeon products, I've found some older PCIe NVIDIA cards fully compatible as well including:
NVIDIA Quadro 4000
Extreme performance to handle demanding workloads, 4 GB of on-board memory, advanced quad-display capabilities for large-scale visualization, and support for high-performance video I/O. Designed and built specifically for professional workstations, NVIDIA Quadro GPUs by PNY power more than 200 pr. The Quadro K5000 for Mac gives artists and editors new levels of power and interactivity. From small agencies to large media conglomerates, creative pros like you using the Apple Mac Pro want tools to help bring your vision to life as fast as possible—without sacrificing quality.
NVIDIA Quadro 5000

- The Quadro K5000 for Mac is considerably faster here. Higher single-precision performance number means the graphics unit will perform better in general computing applications. Since CUDA cores or stream processors are also used as vertex and geometry shaders for 3D image generation, higher performance is also beneficial to games.
- QUADRO K4000 QUICK SPECS: CUDA Parallel-Processing Cores 768: GPU Memory: 3 GB GDDR5: Max Power Consumption: 80 W: Graphics Bus: PCI Express 2.0 x16: Display Connectors: DVI-I (1), DP 1.2 (2) Form Factor: 4.376' H x 9.5' L Single Slot.
- Posted Friday, February 18th, 2011 by rob-ART morgan, mad scientist. We've been hard at work testing the NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac with various pro apps that run under OS X Snow Leopard - some 'aware' of the card's special architecture, some not. The challenge to software developers is to add code that will take advantage of the Fermi architecture including the 256 CUDA cores in the Quadro 4000.
I will be updating this list if I find more NVIDIA compatible cards. I suspect that a NVIDIA Quadro M4000, Quadro K5200, Quadro P4000, Quadro P5000, NVIDIA Titan X, NVIDIA GTX 780, GeForce 8800GT, and NVIDIA Titan Xp would also be fully Metal compatible, but I've not verified that in macOS High Sierra or macOS Mojave.
