Keep in mind that sales of the 2013 Mac Pro were underwhelming to say the least since day one. Machines manufactured in early 2015 were likely sold well into 2016 and even 2017 as sales continued to decline year over year due to it receiving no hardware spec updates. At the time of writing (mid 2019) there are still reports popping up all the time about these GPU’s failing in large communities such as the MacProUpgrade facebook group.
