Apple have been very unhelpful regarding detailing what video cards in a MacPro5,1 i.e. 2010 and 2012 are suitable for Mojave.


Firstly your current card is definitely not suitable.


As Kurt suggests The GTX-680 and the Radeon HD 7950 are by common consensus considered suitable as long as they have Mac firmware on the cards.


Apple more recently did provide some additional advice, see - Get Ready for macOS Mojave - Official Apple Support


Unfortunately it is still confusing. Neither of the cards listed, the MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 and Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 580 have ever come with Mac firmware on them. This would normally be a problem and at a minimum would mean you could not use FileVault or RecoveryHD.
