Adding a supported NVIDIA card….

[Ryan Holmes]

I’d recommend the Quadro 4000. You’ll need to check compatibility with your particular machine. Older Mac Pro’s (2007, 2008?) can’t run a Quadro card.

I use a Quadro FX4800 on a 2010 Mac Pro. Love the CUDA technology. But a 4000 is faster (and cheaper) than a 4800 – strange yes, but those the facts!

Second Ryan’s recommendation for Quadro 4000. It’s in fact the only currently sold nVidia card supported by both Adobe and Apple. It’ll work on any Intel Mac Pro (including 2008) but AFAIK must run OS X 10.6 or later.

[Steven Belcher] “We’re considering adding a supported NVIDIA card to our MacPro in addition to our ATI Radeon HD 5770”

Not sure it’s possible; could anyone confirm? Shouldn’t the nVidia card be the primary one for GPU accel to work?
