ATI FirePro V8800 work with 2007 Mac Pro?

Doing a lot of work in Cinema 4D and Motion 4 these days -- I've done the supported upgrade to an ATI 3870 but this card is missing in accuracy. I noticed that ATI have released the FirePro V8800 ($1500) and was wondering if anyone has this card working in their older (32bit EFI) Mac Pro (circa 2007).
I believe (need to double check) that 2007 MacPro was PCIe 1.1 or 1.0a not 2.0?
Thanks, Rob.

Stick with the ATI 4870 which is supported and works.

  • Will Most Windows Peripherals work with the MAC Pro?

    Im considering getting a MAC Pro... Unfortunately, I just invested on 2 PCI-E graphics cards (256 MB each)... will they work with the MAC Pro? Will apple sell me a MAC Pro with little options?

    Only PCIe cards with EFI type BIOS, so no. They will work in Windows just fine, just not in OS X.
    The stock configuration is fine and probably ideal anyway with the Nvidia 7300 GT, though most would recommend Radeon X1900 XT
    There is only one 16x lane slot.
    you might want to wait until Apple 'refreshes' the one year old Mac Pro line, either in the fall or wait until January MacWorld SF show. (eventually AMDs and Nvidia's latest offerings due later this year have a 99.999% chance of being adopted in some form).

  • What monitor best works with the MAC Pro

    I'm thinking of buying a MAC PRO. What Monitor best works with a MAC Pro?

    Whatever Monitor you like, exclusively. There are adapters available for everything.
    Analog VGA is not a good idea. It's a Digital world. But it can be done if you want.
    A TV set is not a Monitor. TV sets are for moving pictures, and may do badly with stable pictures, fine lines, parallel lines, smooth-edged text, and adjacent patches of bright colors.
    Wider than 1920 needs special attention to details.

  • Will this hard drive work with my Mac Pro?

    Just looking for confirmation that this hard drive will work with my Mac Pro:

    Hi Fred,
    usually any 3.5" form-factor SATA-connected harddisk works in a Mac Pro.
    So I don't see any reason for this harddisk not to work.

  • Getting Asus ATI 4870 to work in my Mac Pro. Not working. please help!

    I read here on these boards that an ATI 4870 would work in an early model (in my case, 2006) Intel Mac Pro.
    I jumped in hastily and bought the Asus branded card: EAH4870
    I connected it, and nothing... did not work.
    I do not think it is a Mac version of this card, perhaps intended to be used in a windows machine.
    Questions:
    - Do I need to "flash: this card to make it work in my Mac Pro OSX 10.6.3?
    - Are there Mac drivers for this card? I can't find anything anywhere
    - Basically, can I get this card to work, or do I need to PAY the extra $$$$ just to have a "Mac" version of this.
    Keep in mind, I am not a techie, I need to do Work, not fiddle with this kind of stuff.. unfortunately, a software package crucial for a job is very finicky and works with only a handful of cards.. The 4870 is one of them.
    I do not have dual boot, and no windows machines to "flash" or rework this card.
    If you can help me to get this card to work, it would be MOST appreciated!!!

    It is not a Mac version. It does not have the required EFI boot ROM needed to work on the Mac. Video drivers are contained in OS X. Either you have to have the card flashed (this is illegal) or buy a Mac version of the card.
    If you aren't a "techie" then you don't have the hardware needed to flash the ROM nor know how. Because this site belongs to Apple we cannot help you with something that is illegal.

  • Can I use Thunderbolt Display with 2007 Mac Pro?

    I dropped my 30" Cinema Display and it's totaled.
    I have a number of newer systems with Thunderbolt Displays.
    Can I get a video card? to put in my 2007 Mac Pro Quad Core that will allow me to use the Thunderbolt display? If not, what should I do short of finding a replacement 30" Cinema Display?
    Thank you!

    Shoot. I was afraid of that. Have you ever done anything so stupid!!!?
    Thanks so much for the response. I'll try to dig another up. An expensive klutz move.

  • Anyone using the Ati Graphics Card 5770 with a Mac Pro 2.93Ghz (2009)

    I would like to upgrade my stock Geforce Gt 120 cards in my Mac Pro 2.93Ghz 8 core (early 2009) to the Ati 5770 card which will be connected to 2 Apple 27inch Retina Displays.
    I am aware that Apple states that the 5770 card is not compatible with the 2009 model but I have also read that Barefeats say this is not true and will work on the 2009 machines.
    Having read numerous reports from people having problems when using the 5770 in there 2009 models such a faster fan speeds and excessive noise I really don't know what to do?....
    Can anyone chime in with their experience and recommendations on the 5770 and also what Mac Pro model and OS version was used?.
    I have looked at the Ati 5870 but it is a bit more than my current budget and my graphics power needs.
    Many Thanks
    Noodlez.

    Very few problems. Some try to do something w/ the wrong dual link active adapters or to use HDMI or something else. I know of very few let alone "numerous" reports. But 10's of thousands of Mac Pro 1,1 and above love it and are fine and happy - and you need 10.6.5 (10.6.8 of course has a much improved driver whereas 10.6.4-1/2 was OEM and basic shoddy and not on the retail 10.6.3 DVD).
    ML use to be trouble on a 2008 3,1 too. At this day and age unless you have PowerPC apps plugins or drivers and hardware 10.8.3 is the way to go. And 10.8.3 opens up more graphic card choices too. Nvidia GTX series or AMD 79xx and EVGA has Mac Edition as does AMD have 7950.
    Barefeasts.com has test results
    I think you want to double check but "RETINA" is a MacBook Pro only and might be thinking of Thunderbolt, which will not connect to a Mac Pro. There still is a non-Thunderbolt 27" which is.

  • What internal hard drive can I get with 2007 Mac Pro?

    Hello,
    I own a Mac Pro that I purchased sometime Early 2007 and I want to add an additional internal hard drive. I am a little confused as to what my options are after visiting the Apple online store. It seems they do not have a choice for 1 TB drives for my machine. I do know that my current drive is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s (SATA II) 500-GB (16 MB cache buffer) Hard Drive.
    I was wondering if I could add a 1 TB drive or do I need to stay with 500 GB size drive? Also, do I need to stick with 16 MB cache buffer or could I go with the 32 MB cache buffer size? If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. Normally, I would just think I could get any drive that uses a SATA II standard.
    Thank you,
    Leapstepman

    I would still steer clear of Seagate, and WD drives are doing well across the board - Mac Pro and PCs.
    Any SATA drive today is fine. SSD, 10K VelociRaptor, WD Green 1TB, Black Caviar... choice is yours.

  • Brand new to forum.  Can a Maxtor IV One Touch external hard drive previously used on a PC be formatted to work with my Mac Pro OSX  version 10.6.8?

    I've never participated in a forum before; so, please let me know if I'm going about it wrong.
    My question is this:  Can a Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive that was previously used on a PC be set up for use on my Mac Pro?  I'm preparing to upgrade the Mac to the most recent software version and it was suggested I back everything up first.
    I reformatted the hard drive so it is currently empty.  There are icons on my Mac desktop for One Touch 4 and Maxtor Manager but other than that nothing appears to be working.  There are no drives showing in the Maxtor Manager so I suspect that's where I need to start.  However, I don't know enough about what I'm doing to move ahead on my own and I don't want to screw anything up.  If anyone knows the steps I should take next, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you.

    I am embarrassed how simple that was.  I did warn you that I'm technologically challenged; I'm pretty sure that proved it.
    The external hard drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The link you provided indicates the external drive will work with Time Machine.  I've never worked with Time Machine and don't know what my next step should be.  Would you please walk me through it?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.  From the points you have accumulated, I can tell you have helped many others and I thank you for your generosity.

  • Can't get Bose computer speakers to work with my Mac pro lion

    I have just bought the Bose Companion 11 computer speakers for my Mac Book Pro. They are set up correctly (in the headphone jack) and they play my itunes music beautifully. However, when they are plugged in I get no sound from internet videos, etc. I have to take the plug out of my headphones jack and then I get the sound from my computer but not the speakers. Can anyone help ..I don't know what I am doing wrong...or how to get the Bose speakers to work with all my computer (internet content). I looked at system preferences and the Output says headphone port but the input says internal microphone (built-in).
    Please help.
    Thank You,
    Karen

    Don't worry about offending me...I am, admittedly, no computer whiz! I have had speakers before....but I took these in to Best Buy...with my computer (Where I bought them) and the "Geek" person plugged them in and they worked.
    What we did notice was that the jack that goes into the plug just below the left speaker plug was loose. So I brought it home and it worked! Then tonight I turned on my computer and no speaker input, so I checked the back of the right speaker and that plug (if that is the right name?) had fallen out...so re-connected it and they work! So, I guess I may have to tape that plug in ...or what do you suggest??...so it doesn't keep falling out.
    Thanks so much for answering me.

    Above is the link to the one i want! will it work? i think yes but second opinion would be nice.

    It depends in part on what graphic card it is attached to. And if you have 2nd monitor.

    You can't; there's no Thunderbolt port on a Mac Pro. If you just bought the display, try to swap it for the standard 27" LED display with the mini display port connector (that assumes your Mac Pro is a 3,1 or later, which has a mini display port).

  • Will FCP 7 Work with New Mac Pros?

    Any indication of I will still be able to work in FCP7 on the new Mac Pro 2013? I'm not too keen on FCPX at the moment. Thanks for any info.

    All true, however, FCS 2009 (aka FCS 3) does run with the current OSX (10.8.4) which is two full versions beyond the last supported one (10.6.8).
    So, the real answer is, we'll have to wait and see how things play out.
