No.

Mojave does not support 4,1 firmware.
The 4,1 -> 5,1 Firmware update process requires a Graphics card with Boot Screen support.

¿Still have your OLD graphics card with boot screen support, but no metal support?

swap back to the old one, do the firmware upgrade (Caution: NOT supported by Apple) and then swap in the new card and you can move forward.

App like Logic pro x was working. The problem occurred with YouTube or to watch a movie...

But now I can replace the new graphics card with the old one to download the Firmware and insert the new one.

Thank you so much Grant Bennet-Alder for your promt suggestion.

"stopped working" in what way, exactly?

You need very little (except 'simple mode' display from this old card.
