Not only do they have RX480 drivers but they show up as PCI-E, which may be making a comeback.

Also, people have been upgrading older Pros with great results. I found this on another forum:

A friend of mine works with Blender and recently purchased a 2009 cMP 4,1 simply because that was the fastest option for him.
He spent 500€ on the minimum spec computer and another 800€ (I believe?) to upgrade it with a PCIe SSD (M.2 + 20€ adapter), 6x3.46Ghz processor, 32 GB of RAM and a used GTX980.

The only downside is that they are roughly the size of a one bedroom flat in London, and it you drop one on your foot, you will die. But they do bench quite well...

Ha, seen that before... roughly the size of my living room so it's a no go.
I don't think the RX480 drivers are confirmed, there is like some numbers in a driver that match the 480 or something but thats not quite the same, I think.
I was toying with the idea of an old MP once but would not be able to fit in in my study/dayz room.
