GPU in cubix xpander – must be Mac versions?
-
An informal way to put it is, “If the drivers are there, we don’t care”. However, this doesn’t take into account support issues. Cubix (and every other vendor) has no way of opening a support ticket with NVIDIA if you run into problems while using the flashed 470/480 product with Cubix GPU-Xpander.
However, the performance increase that Sascha and others see using the flashed GTX cards makes me scratch my head wondering why NVIDIA & Apple don’t get together and roll-out a successor to the GTX285 for Mac. Seems like a no-brainer.

The problem is that there are only 2 connectors in a Mac Pro, which means you have to go with a GT120 (which doesn’t need any connectors) in order to support more than 1 card and therefore the GUI. That’s where cubix can come in handy….
