Another report on Retail Radeon RX 580 8GB in Mac Pro
(Report updated with info on 28" UHD monitor, using 5 output ports & macOS 10.13.3.)
Added a third report on stock (not flashed) Radeon RX 580 8GB in a Mac Pro. (Thanks Matt.)
He's using 3 displays with the card. (Card has 2 DisplayPort 1.4, 2 HDMI 2.0b, 1 DVI-D ports.)
Native driver support in macOS 10.12.6 or later and supports Apple Metal.
(They bought this card for $360-$365. Seems like a very good value at that price.)
 
Logic Pro X 10.4.1 Update (long list of improvements)
Apple's updated Logic Pro X again (v10.4 was a major update). See the Logic Pro X Release Notes for a list of Stability/Reliability, Performance, Smart Tempo, Plug-ins, Alchemy, Automation, Flex Key Commands, Global Tracks, Editing, Mixer, Apple Loops, Control Surfaces/MIDI Controllers, Drummer, Score, Export/Bounce, Import, Import, Content, and General improvements.
 
Download page for iMac Pro macOS 10.13.3 Supplemental Update Revised
The download page I posted on Feb. 19th for the macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 Supplemental Update for iMac Pro was dated Feb. 19th, 2018 and size listed as 1.53GB. Now the iMac Pro macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 Supplemental Update is dated March 1st, 2018 and size is listed as 591.9 MB. Build number of new iMac Pro update is 17D2103. (Interesting since some earlier installs were said to be 17D2104, original release for iMac Pro supplemental update per Developer news release page was 17D2102. Standard release was 17D102.)

(As noted in previous news, some iMac Pro owners reported major problems after install attempts of the original update, often requiring macOS reinstalls or restoring from a Time Machine backup.)
