Video Card Upgrade For Mac Pro 15
Video Card Upgrade For Mac Pro 1.1
So about a year ago I bought the Ati Radeon 5770 upgrade kit for my Mac Pro and it has been okay but I wanted to take it to the next level. It would be insane to buy the 5870 for $430 right? When the latest greatest cards blow that one away.
Is there any easy way to get a newer card from the ATI 6000 or 7000 series or the NVIDIA cards to work on a mac pro safely. I was going to buy a card from best buy but the geek squad dude said the card would destroy my mother board as I have a Mac Bios, even if I use it only with windows 7 via boot camp. Is that true? I believe my mac pro has pci 2.0 so the 3.0 cards would not work? Maybe that is what he meant?
Also it would be of course ideal to use this card for osx and windows but if I could just ad a second card to use only for windows I would be okay with that..., if i have to modify my bios or something that sounds risky.
UPDATE I just saw this post! Does anyone have any experience with this? If I upgrade to osx mountain lion will I see a performance upgrade too? I am on snow leopard. I am using FCP 7 as well and wonder how the compatibility with be.
