Apple's "Get Ready for macOS Mojave" page notes on 2010-12 Mac Pro GPUs
Apple's Get Ready for macOS Mojave page had this note about 2010-2012 Mac Pro Graphics Card Compatibility (for the non-beta release):
"Mac Pro models introduced in late 2013, plus mid 2010 or mid 2012 models with recommended Metal-capable graphics processor, including MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 and Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 580"
Unless there's been a change, those cards do not have a Mac ROM. (The Sapphire Mac/PC Radeon 7950 with ROM switch wasn't mentioned, but is Metal compatible with previous macOS versions and should be with Mojave.) Previously macOS installers like High Sierra required a graphics card with Mac ROM to complete. (If not typically the firmware update phase would fail to complete.)
  I've added the above to our page of Reports on Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8GB in Mac Pros running macOS 10.12.6 and later, which includes a report from a reader that had problems installing the Mojave Beta and link to a post with tips from a 2010 Mac Pro owner with Sapphire Radeon RX 580 card that installed the Mojave Beta. (Some 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 owners had flashed their bootrom to 5,1 for support of later macOS versions.)
