Hi,
with Mac Pro 2013 (or any Mac with Thunderbolt port), you need High Sierra, an eGPU box with Thunderbolt 2, or 3 with Apple adapter:

At the following link you can find an extensive guide about eGPU solutions via Thunderbolt under Mac:
The Beginner’s eGPU Setup Guide for MacHere are a couple of eGPU solutions used by other Mac Octane users:

for High SierraAt the end of the process, you can finally install Octane, and start rendering.
Note that tat the moment it is not possible to update to Mojave:https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi ... cos-10-14/With Mac Pro 2009 (like mine), you need to upgrade to Sierra or High Sierra, then use the GT 120 for display, and add a couple of Pascal GPUs, like 1060/1070 without external power supply:
Or add a couple of 1080ti with external power supply:
