It used to be possible to flash the firmware in the 8500 cards, but the new Radeons have different chips altogether for Mac and for PC, so it's no longer possible to just patch the firmware.

You will need to buy a Mac 9800. :(

      It's expensive, but I bet it will still sell out just like the Steam Deck and the Steam Controller

      This is listed as a preview in WU for me. I usually don't grab them as previews; what's your opinion on it so far?
