Upgrading a 2007 Mac Pro Video Card

So Steve Jobs said that the mac pros would offer greater expansion when they were reased a couple years back.
Its been 3 months since the Geforce 8800 GT has been 'available' on the 2008 mac pro and 3 months since it hasnt been available for the mac pros which jobs referred to as 'expandable.' I'm in need of a new monitor, and will be needing a better video card, I have a 2 x geforce 7300 overclocked setup for gaming in windows. This experience will be painful once I step up to 1920x1200 resolution some time SOON.
So I have a few questions:
1) How does the ATI 2600 XT perform compared to my setup? Is a single 2600 XT going to outperform my SLI setup?
2) Would a Crossfire 2600 XT outperform it?
3) Is the 3870x2 compatible with my computer? Can I at least boot into windows with it, but boot into OS X with my 7300 without physically removing the video card from the PCIe slot? I suppose a KVM switch would be needed unless I bought a dual input monitor?
4) Are there any video cards made for PC that will work in windows on my mac BUT still allowing me to boot into OS X without me having to remove the card out of the PCIe slot?
Thanks for all your responses in advance!
ps. funny how steve jobs got deals with EA to produce games for the mac os platform while doing nothing about offering a required component to play games at decent settings and framerates. this is going to be a failure guaranteed if apple doesnt do anything (or, at least acquire PROPER ported games)

You can find benchmarks for the ATI 2600GT at Bare Feats.
You cannot use a third-party card to boot OS X, but you can use any compatible video card for Windows as long as you install the Windows drivers. A third-party video card simply won't boot OS X because it does not have an EFI compatible ROM. It will, however, work fine for booting Windows.

  • Benefits of upgrading the 2008 mac pro video card?

    I have the 8800 video card in my 2008 2.8 mac pro and am considering getting the radeon 4870 video card as an upgrade.
    Will this card provide any real benefits to my system for things like Photoshop and FCP or is it a waste of money?
    Also, might snow leopard make better use of the 4870 card as opposed to the 8800 card in my situation?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Give 10.6 a year, along with CS5, and maybe. I wouldn't bet my life on it but ATI does tend to be better written for OpenGL.
    The 8800 isn't too shabby in some tests.
    http://www.barefeats.com/nehal06.html
    And the 4870 does better in 2009s.
    http://www.barefeats.com/nehal05.html
    Where the 2009 8 DIMM / 8-cores can shine is not just more efficient processor, but also more bandwidth to memory, too, which if you think you need more horsepower, do you have hard drives and memory to do so?

  • Mac Pro video card in a PM G5 dual 2.0?????

    Will the stock Mac Pro video card: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, work in a PowerMac G5 Duallie 2.0 (mid 2004 model) with the pci-x slots? Thankx! And would a Cube G4 Rage 128 video card work in thePM G5? (I bought a G5 without a video card and I need to test it and find a cheap video card for it). Thx again!

    No. It is PCI Express card anyway.

  • Upgrading mac pro video card questions

    I want to upgrade my video card, I currently have a 7300 gt, and my mac pro is a 2007. Will any video card that uses the same type of pci slot work or does the card have to be specially made for macs. Also what would be the best upgrade for my mac, i read the 8800 gtx wont work, will radeon 2600 work?

    Yes, the video card has to be made to work with Mac Pros and I upgraded my 2007 Mac with the 2600 XT and it works great. A version of the 8800 is suppose to be in the works, but a release date is unknown.

  • Expanding Mac Pro video card with (non-stock) GeForce 7300 GT?

    OK, I've done some Googling and can't really find what I'm looking for, so I thought I would pose the question here as I continue to search around. Here's the situation:
    I have a late 2007 Mac Pro with a GeForce 7300GT graphics card that has been working just fine
    I wanted to add an additional card in order to output to a TV in my office, so I figured I'd just look for another 7300GT
    Found one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121062296751?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m149 7.l2649
    Bought it, installed it. Nothing.
    I feel like I should know this already, but does it really matter who the manufacturer is as long as the chipset is the 7300GT? Is there anything I can do to get this situation working or was I a little hasty in buying a card that I didn't fully understand?
    Like I said, I'll keep searching around, but any help that anyone could provide would be much appreciated.

    The card you have already has two ports on it, and can support two displays at once,  according to Apple:
    PCI Express graphics
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB (single-link DVI and dual-link DVI)
    To convert DVI to HDMI for a TV, all you should need is a DVI --> HDMI cable.
    If you are going to buy a new card, the Apple-firmware 5770 (as hatter recommends) can replace your current 7300 card. Works in all models of mac Pro. Accelerated drivers in 10.6.5 and later.
    • Only genuine Apple cards are guaranteed to show a picture at power on.
    • PC cards flashed with Apple firmware may not show a picture until the login screen, making debugging difficult when your Mac will not boot right up.
    • PC-only cards will not show a picture under Mac OS X.
    • Note: [This may be changing with some advanced NVIDIA cards in to 600 and 700 series, but they are overkill for this application.]

  • Upgrading 2006/2007 Mac Pro to 8800GT

    Hi All,
    I want to upgrade the graphics card in my Mac Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro as sold on the Apple Store. I have two questions:
    1. Will the card sold on the store work? The person I spoke to said it would but have heard rumours on various forums that this might not be the case.
    2. Will there be any firmware updates required?
    Any help on this would be really appreciated, as I'd like to upgrade the 7300GT in my machine with something that has a bit more power!
    Thanks
    Sean

    There is not a 8800GT now, but one is in the works with the proper firmware to work on 2006/7 model. No ETA. But probably in a month??
    The 2600 Radeon is known to work if you have 10.5.2. $149.
    People are playing around with flashed units on their own (to be expected, some have burned through a couple test cards in the process!)
    http://www.barefeats.com has benchmarks and more.

  • I want to upgrade my Mac Pro video card. I am using a mac quad core 2.7 GHz 8 megs of ram and an ATI Radeon 3870. Where do I start?

    I am using a mac pro with a 2.7 GHz processor 8 gigs of ram and a Radeon HD 3870 video card with 512 megs of vram.
    I want to upgrade to 1 gig of vram if possible.
    Can anyone tell me where I can begin looking, what brand to buy, and what options I have?
    I want to be able to use the Element 3D plug in After Effects.
    Also, would I need to upgrade my operating system?
    Thanks,
    Faucheux

    Shop for them at the Apple Online Store. I would suggest the ATI 5770 or 5870 or one of the new Nvidia GTX models - 650 Ti, 660, or 680.
    Note that unless your Mac Pro has PCIe 2.0 slots you should stick with the ATI 5770.

  • 1st gen mac pro video card

    So, I'm looking to upgrade the video card in my mac pro from the stock nVidia 7300 GT to something else. I've basically ruled out the 1.5GB Quadra fx 4500 (because it's a bit above my price point), so looking at the other options, I have the following questions.
    1. I've heard you can put 2 of the same video cards in a computer and get an increase in performance in that way. How hard is this to do and will it be comparable in performance to a 512 mb card? Additionally, can this be done with 2 different cards or does it have to be 2 of the same cards?
    2. The 3 512 cards I'm looking at, based on what I've heard are compatible in this forum, are the ATI X1900 XT, the ATI 4870, and the nVidia 8800GT (I know this has to be apple part number MB560Z/A). What are the differences between these cards (prices are all fairly similar)? What should I be looking at besides the card's memory size?
    3. Someone in my other question thread mentioned "flashing" a video card. What does that mean?
    Thanks in advance for the help. I've never really tried upgrading a video card before and so really don't know much about them.

    1. I've heard you can put 2 of the same video cards in a computer and get an increase in performance in that way.
    Not with Macs.
    2. The 3 512 cards I'm looking at, based on what I've heard are compatible in this forum, are the ATI X1900 XT, the ATI 4870, and the nVidia 8800GT (I know this has to be apple part number MB560Z/A). What are the differences between these cards (prices are all fairly similar)? What should I be looking at besides the card's memory size?
    The ATI 4870 is the only one currently being sold. Be sure to get the Apple version.
    3. Someone in my other question thread mentioned "flashing" a video card. What does that mean?
    That means making a non-Apple card work in a Mac. Don't try it unless you know what you are doing.

  • Do I need a specific Mac Pro video card or will any do?

    Hi, I had a quick question. I'm looking at purchasing a 2010 8-core Mac Pro and was wondering about the video card. Is there a specific video card needed for the Mac Pro or can I purchase just a typical ATI 5870 from ebay and install that? Is there really a difference between a PC graphic cards and a Mac graphics card?

    Stick to the Apple cards. There is an important difference, and that is non-Apple cards do not work until the startup sequence is completed unless you use them on VGA. That means you cannot use any normal startup keyboard shortcuts unless the card is in VGA mode. This is because non-Apple cards do not have the Apple bootable ROM.
    Apple sells the 5870 directly on their website. And, there's nothing wrong with the 5770 card that comes with the Mac Pro. Be sure you really need the performance of the 5870 before spending the extra money for it.

  • Mac Pro video card flaky?

    I have a Mac Pro 5.1, the mid-2010 model. Recently the display has been acting flaky, and now it doesn't seem to work at all.
    The problems started intermittenly for some time ago. I would switch the computer on and the monitor (a Samsung) would not receive a signal. I would get the picture by turning the monitor off and on again. I thought that maybe there was something wrong with the monitor, but since it always received the video signal after flicking it off and on again, I didn't think too much about it.
    Two weeks ago the monitor suddenly lost the signal while the computer was on. The monitor and computer were still both powered, and the video cable was fine. But the flicking off and on didn't work this time. I had to turn off and on the Mac Pro itself to get the video back.
    Yesterday it happened again twice and this morning again. The signal from the card disappears after the computer is on for 10-15 minutes or so. When I was at the computer as it happened, I thought that the computer became more silent when the video vanished. Switching the computer off and on, does not help. I might get a signal, but for 30 sec or so, then it is gone again.
    I do not think the problem is the monitor, although I have not tried attaching another computer to it. I have the Mac Pro also hooked to my AV-receiver and LCD projector. When the Samsung loses the video signal, so does the LCD projector. My guess is that the video card is at fault here.
    The card is an ATI RAdeon HD 5870. Any advice how to make sure that the video card is the culprit, and not for example the motherboard? If it turns out the card is faulty, what would be a recommended replacement for it?
    Edit (addition): There is nothing wrong with the picture before it disappears. No distortions or anything. The video signal is simply gone.

    Have you tried blowing the dust out?
    Also the suggestion about running machine with side off and seeing if fan is running.
    Video cards are cooled by an array of small metal fins connected to the GPU chip. The fan blows air through these fins. Over time, the fins build up a layer of dust. This is especially true if you have animals, keep your Mac on the floor, live in a dusty area or if you smoke.
    The symptoms you describe are similar to an overheating card. They have thermal overload protection which simply shuts the card off when it reaches a temp above 100 C or so. If you are lucky, you just need to blow some compressed air BACKWARDs through the fan to knock the dust off the front face of the fins. I have seen these fins completely covered with dust, at which point the fan can only do so much to cool the card.

  • I've just acquired a 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 2x 3GHz Xeon and would like to upgrade the graphics card

    I've just acquired a 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 2x 3GHz Xeon and would like to upgrade the graphics card. I'd like to be able to run the Adobe CC 2014 software for 2D animation work. Don't need CUDA for any ray-traced work, just want to be able to run Ai and AE at the same time and have it handle the playback. Will this card http://www.ebay.com/itm/181466634525?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack =true be a good way to go? Or should I stick with the 4500?

  • Is FCPX usable with late 2007 Mac Pro's with ATI HD3870 (or OEM graphics cards?

    I have a late 2007 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD3870 Mac&PC (3870 ROHS 512mB) graphics card.  This card is wupposed to be OpenCL hardware capable.  Will it work with FCPX?  I'm not aware of any current enhanced graphics cards that will work with that vintage MacPro. I'm currently using FCP7, but has anyone tried this system with FCPX? 

    nfoo wrote:
    According to Apple it is compatible.
    Just go ahead and try to buy it: the App Store will detect if your card is compatible and will refuse to let you buy FCPX if it isn't. So there's no risk.
    If you want to upgrade your gfx card, the Ati 5770 and 5870 are both compatible with all Mac Pro Models.
    Apple says no. The Store says mid 2010 for 5770.
    I just got confirmation from someone on the LAFCPUG forum that they have MacPro 1.1 (2006) with 5770 installed and they were able to purchase FCPX.

  • 2007 Mac Pro (10.6.8) cannot upgrade to Yosemite?

    Hi everyone. first time posting. I've just tried to upgrade my Late 2007 Mac Pro desktop to Yosemite (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and got this message:
    "This version of OS X 10.10 cannot be installed on this computer."
    I dug a bit deeper.... and found this:
    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    So, my question is then how can I upgrade the OS to a late 2007 make and model of Mac Pro? Is there a middle step to upgrade like there was with snow leopard? A quick google search did not turn up much. I've got enough RAM, HDD space, etc. This is the only sticking point.
    Is this year model stuck with snow leopard?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks

    You have a Mac Pro 2,1 model which cannot run anything above Lion 10.7.5. You don't have a MP Early 2008 model.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    I am trying to find what model of Airport Extreme Card I need to install into my 2007 Mac Pro 2.6GHz
    I understand that there is a 2008 card which is incompatible, so I don't want to buy the wrong one.
