Hello everyone! I want to upgrade video card on my Mac Pro 1.5 (Mid 2010) from ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 mb to more powerfull, so I can upgrade my OS system too. Which one is better to choose? I've read that some video card can crash my motherboard. I have an 2 x 3,46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon.
Thank you!
Mac Pro, macOS 10.12

What are you looking for? Performance? Cost/performance value? Plug-and-play? Bootscreen support? Do you need any particular output: HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, MiniDisplayport?
Generally:
RX 570/580: Good general purpose new/newish card if you don't need a bootscreen.
Mac Edition Cards (HD 7950, GTX 680, Quadro K5000, etc): Good if you do need a bootscreen.
PC variants of Mac Edition Cards: Good if you able and willing to flash a vbios yourself.
