Hi, RWZALI.


I'm glad you decided to reach out on Apple Support Communities today. I understand that you’re looking for suggestions for configuring a Mac Pro (2019) in order to install two third-party PCIe cards. I may be able to help.


According to the Mac Pro - Technical Specifications page, it comes with eight PCI Express expansion slots; four double-wide and three single-wide sots with the last slot has the I/O card installed. This should automatically allow for the installation of your audio interface PCIe cards without selecting any additional hardware configurations. I would select the processor, memory, storage, and graphics to your personal specifications. The PCIe structure in every Mac Pro will be sufficient with any options that you choose.


These articles may help in your analysis and subsequent installation of those cards:
