Upgrading Mac Pro 5.1 to RX XT for Monterey OS

I upgraded my Mac Pro 5.1 to a rx 6650 xt and installed Monterey, the problem is that there is no support for this card, so I don't have the graphics effects. I'd like to think that Apple will include these drivers

Will Final Cut Pro 10.4.6 work on Mojave OSX 10.14 I have a Mac Book Pro 15 inch Mid 2012 machine. I am currently running OS 10.13.6 High Sierra. I am trying to determine whether it is "safe" to upgrade the OS to 10.14 Mojave, without creating problems with Final Cut Pro. Currently Software Update is NOT offering me updates to either the OS (from my current 10.13.6) OR an update for Final Cut. I attach images of specs for the two graphics cards installed on the Mac Book Pro. The Apple Website has conflicting information about whether or not I can upgrade to Mojave OX 10.14 As the screen grab shows, both cards in my machine support Metal but the specific cards I have aren't in the approved apple list. Please see what this Apple page says. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208898#cards So I suppose it's a two part questions 1) CAN I upgrade to Mac OSX 10.14 Mojave on my mid 2012 Mac Book Pro, generally? 2) IF I do this upgrade, will I have a problem with Final Cut Pro? THANK YOU!!!!

Video Card Compatabilities Just cutious...why can't I buy a modern video card and use it in my Mac Pro 2008? Just perusing some of the cheap video options from Newegg. https://www.newegg.ca/visiontek-radeon-5450-900860/p/N82E16814129320?Item=N82E16814129320 It has a PCI Express 2.1 (16 lanes) interface and my Mac Pro has the same. Is it the lack of drivers for the card that keeps me from using something like this? I'm unclear as to why this is an issue. I would think that drivers are somewhat ubiquitous and that someone has written drives for older PCI Macs. Just looking to get some clarity on this. Cheers

is that one of these cards?

"AMD's Navi 21 GPUs (the 6600, 6600 XT, 6800, 6800 XT, and 6900 XT)"

Iif it is, Greg Gant has posted about them in this section of his wonderful blog:
