  Best Video Card for my Mac Pro 2.66 1.1

  Posted by Jeremie Barineau on October 31, 2011 at 5:02 pm

  I’ve recently started work with Maya and find the stock Nvida 7300 gt on my Mac Pro 2.66 1.1 inadequate(big surprise)so I’m looking to upgrade. Based on the material I’ve found it would seem I can install a total of 4 video cards (1) PCIe x16 2.0 (3) standard.

  I was wondering if the following cards are capable of running multiple cards (SLI or crossfire) on my Mac Pro 2.6 1.1 and the advantages of the cards if any other than the obvious things like ram ect. for running Maya or say After Effect:

  Nvida 7300 GT
  ATI Radeon X1900 XT
  nVidia Quadro FX 4500
  ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
  nVidia GeForce 8800 GT
  nVidia Quadro FX 5600
  Optional ATI Radeon HD 4870

  Also if possible I’d like to somehow use the Nivida 7300 currently installed. Any advice is much appreciated.

  Thank you in advance.

  Cheers!
