I just upgraded the GPU in my Mac Pro from the stock GPU to a Sapphire RX580. I don't seem to have any problems save for one: GPU tasks on BOINIC are suspended: "GPU Missing, Waiting to run. Has anyone had this issue before? I've read about it on Windows computers, but I can't seem to find any Mac specific info.

Thanks!

Yea, your old mac pro had (I assume) an NVidia board and any task downloaded for it wont run. You should be able to get rid of those error messages by doing a project reset. If wasn't a different manufacture then some other problem like OpenCL missing.

That fixed it! Thank you.

Now, however, there seem to be fewer GPU tasks running. Is this because I'm using an AMD rather than a nVidia card?

Generally GPUs will only run one task at a time.
Perhaps you are confusing tasks that are actually running with those that are waiting to run?
