Radeon Vega in a Mac Pro 5,1

Now that the iMac Pro is out and High Sierra is obviously supporting the Radeon Vega, has anyone tried one of these in a Mac Pro 2010 or 2012? I would imagine power is an issue, and also a bottleneck at the PCIe 2.0 slot.

Anyway, 8k footage is killing me and my R9 280x.

Mac Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), 2010, 12-core 3.33, 64 ram

Still trying to find one. Many models are already discontinued.

Hmmm. Frontier Edition worries me a bit, reviews are a bit brutal, 16GB is attractive tho

Not worth it in my opinion.
