Will Apple be updating the Mac Pro with updated graphic cards such as the Nvidia GTX 680?

Hey Apple! And a big Hello to the Apple community!
I'm looking to buy my first Mac Pro and i'm very excited about it!
I haven't bought it yet because i'm waiting for Apple to upgrade their current graphics cards that are available in the current line up.
The ATI Radeon HD 5770 or the ATI Radeon HD 5870. Altough they are very good graphic cards, I feel that they are very outdated.
Would there be any chance of Apple upgrading their current line up to Nvidia GTX 680?
Thanks again in advance!

Hope springs eternal:
GTX5xx GPUs
GTX580 3GB running in 10.7.3.
Card shows EFI boot screens on either DVI port.
Also have GTX560 going. Will announce GTX570 separately.
Requires external PSU, but this GTX580 kicks AMD/ATI 5870 to curb, leaves for dead, and never looks back.

    Mac Pro with two graphic card each one with two dvi output, can I extend deskop to three outputs?

    MAC OS 10.7.4  3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, 12GB  of 800MHz DDR2 and 2 ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB (two dual-link DVI ports) . The problem is, I woul like to use one output as main and the three others as secondary or extended desktop but the system don't allow me use two diferent video cards this way.

  • CS4 and Mac Pro with two graphic cards: OpenGL not supported!

    I have two graphic cards in my Mac Pro. If a use a dual display setup where both displays are connected to the same card, Photoshop enables OpenGL support (Preferences > Performance).
    Switch both displays to the other card, also works fine.
    BUT if I connect one display to the first card and the second display to the second card (so each display has its own graphic card) the Open GL support is greyed out (I can not longer use canvas display rotation for example)
    This doesn't make sense to me and looks like a bug...

    Are you running two of the same cards or are they different? I'm running a pair of NVidia 7300GTs with no issues...and I'm driving a pair of 30" Cinemas and an NEC 26" widescreen. I get better performance on the single 30" than on the card with the two displays. Also note that which PCI slot you are driving the cards in has an impact on their performance...something to look into.

    Thanks

    Thanks, but are these are silent?
    Why do they cost over 10 x what seems available for PC?
    Is it not possible to flash the cards for mac?
    Something similar to a ASUS Geforce 8400GS PCI-E 2.0 512 MB DDR2 Graphics Card EN8400GS Silent/P/512M?

  • Mac Pro with no airport card installed

    I have a Mac Pro with no airport card installed....Can I just purchase an Airport express and connect by ethernet to the Mac pro.... I use Air port Extreme as my router for other computers

    Yes, this is referred to as a ProxySTA in the business.
    HOWEVER, this only became available with the 802.11n Express. I haven't yet seen it OFFICIAL if the new second generation still supports ProxySTA. I'm a bit hesitant to say yes, because the new express leans a little closer to the Extremes which work quite differently.  (haven't had time to test this yet myself)
    I'm curious, why you don't just run an ethernet from your extreme to your Pro... I'm guessing because of the distance?

    Hi
    I have a 2007 3.0GHZ Mac pro, the current graphics card in it -  ATI X1900 XT is giving me a lot of problems for a while now. I have taken it out cleaned it and put if back in but they are still happening. Then I found this artical about it -

So I want to buy a new one, but I want to make sure my mac will support it. The problem is I do video work so I want a decent one and it needs to have 2 DVI ports. Would my mac support this card

    Not as is, but will this one:

    Many opt for this:

  • Creating a wireless connection on a Mac Pro with no airport card.

    Hello
    Forgive me if this has already been discussed but I am looking at all options to add wireless function to a mac pro with OS10.4 that does not currently have an airport card installed. My options so far are to either purchase a airport card, purchase a USB wireless dongle i.e.: D-Link DWA-140 (for which I am having trouble finding something that is compatible) or possibly using a airport express. The objective is to use it for presentations for lectures as I am using keynote and would very much like to use the keynote remote from my iPod touch (later with a iPad) so I can control my presentation wirelessly.
    My question is this, will I be able to use an airport express, connect it via ethernet to the mac pro and create the wireless connection with my iPod touch? Will I require a wireless router? Or can anyone suggest an easy way to wireless control a keynote presentation with a non wireless mac.
    Thank you so much.
    Dave

    This is not an exact answer to your question, but we had cable installed today (Virgin Media, UK) and the router is too far for my MacPro tower to connect. The engineer gave me a wireless dongle (the D-Link DWA-140) and said it would do the trick. After a few hours of searching online, I cannot make the dongle connect to the router, so I would recommend that you avoid this option for a MacPro. It may be possible to connect it but I'm certainly not finding it straightforward.

  • How to run Apple Hardware Test on Mac Pro with ML preinstalled?

    I have Mac Pro 5.1 (2012) which came with Mountain Lion preinstalled. It didn't have install DVDs. How do I run AHD? Restarting with D, or command+D, or option+D didn't work. It would just restart the OS. And Mac Pro didn't support Internet AHD eather.

    Thank you for your reply, Carolyn.
    I read this article. None of those applied to my case:
    my Mac Pro came before 2013 and it doesn't have Apple Diagnostics  built into it,
    it doesn't have Apple Hardware Test built into it,
    and my Mac Pro came with Mountain Lion preinstalled and it did not have system software disc or USB flash drive.
    Restarting while holding down the D key simply doesn't work it just reboot back to the desktop.

  • Mountain Lion will not load on my mac pro with 10.7.4.

    I purchased and tried to download Mountain Lion to my mac pro and it will not down load. Once I press download it does nothing. I have already been billed for it. My mac pro notebook is less than a year old opperating 10.7.4 Lion. Any ideas?

    restart your computer and try again, when you hit download, do nothing, and hopefully it will begin, do you see the installer in Launchpad? try double click it to unpause it.

  • Need to update Mac Pro drivers without graphics card.....

    I have a 1.1 Mac Pro. The ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card that came with it is completely broken. I am trying to replace it with a ATI Radeon HD5770 which should be compatible, however as I have never really updated my OS (unfortunately I cant remember which OS it has on it at the moment, it's the one that came with it) I don't think I have the neccessary drivers. Any ideas of how I can update the drivers without haveing to buy another graphics card? If it's any help I also have a Macbook Pro. Thanks in advance.

    5770 cards require one 6-pin Aux power cable from the motherboard to the card. Aftermarket cards do not always include it, but it MUST be connected.
    That is a PC-BIOS card flashed with Apple Firmware. In general, such cards do NOT show the Boot Screens or any diagnostic screens. The first screen you see will be the login screen, or if you auto-login, the desktop.
    The seller says It will show the Boot Screens ONLY if you connect an Analog VGA display (with adapter) to the lower DVI-I port.
    Drivers for accelerated operation of this card are included with custom 10.6.4 shipped with certain Mac Pros, and in standard 10.6.5 and later. All appropriate Drivers are already included in Mac OS X -- there is no need to install them later, and no way to do so since they will not work in older versions.
    Official information lists the Mac OS X that shipped originally with your Mac Pro 1,1 as 10.4.7, but it may have been as late as 10.5. These are not likely to work with that card. You would probably need to purchase a 10.6 DVD from the Apple online store, about US$30.
    Most Users who are not developers would be better served with a genuine Apple card, which would show a picture from power-on. But it costs close to US$250.

  • Is there a fix for MAC Pro with Dual video cards that randomly logs off and on?

    From my readings on the Internet this seems to be a know problem.  That even furthers my frustrations with the latest OS X upgrades.  So far on both my MACBOOK PRO and my MAC PRO it has been a major downgrade as both systems are no longer stable.  Enough with my complaints...
    Is there any plan to address this problem with the MAC PRO?  I can't believe 10.8.1 didn't fix it.  More can be read on it at:
    http://jvm-technology.blogspot.com/2012/08/mac-pro-users-experiencing-random-log .html
    Does anyone have work around to use dual screen monitors with the system?  I have two video cards, the article says to remove one.  Has this worked for anyone?  Can I use dual screens with the one video card.  Before I go messing around with these type of things I just want to be sure that this is a real fix.  For the price of the cards and the system I really can't believe apple has this issue in the first place and has not fixed it. 

    Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
    See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
    You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro running Lion with one ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB GPU.

  • New mac pro with ATI video card & 2x 24" displays??

    is it possible to connect two 24" apple displays to the new mac pro using the ATI video card?

    2 nVidia cards doesn't buy you any performance increases. They don't talk to each other to improve performance in Mac OSX. Multiple cards is mostly for supporting multiple displays. How many displays do you have?
    Apple has some initial performance benchmarks:
