macpro1,1, are there any suported Graphics Cards?

OK, so is it ‘Mac Pro Nvidia 8800GT 8800 GT 1st Gen ’06/’07 1 Gig Enable Mercury Playback’? Do you ship to UK, it does not show up on ebay.co.uk (I am in UK).

Hi Ben, did you purchase the ‘Mac Pro Nvidia 8800GT 8800 GT 1st Gen ’06/’07 1 Gig’ card?
Really tempted but interested about anyone’s experience with this!

Ended up getting a ATI 5770 (PC). The 5770 seems the best option.

Just curious to know how the 5770 is working for you. I too have a Mac Pro 1,1.. looking to speed things up a bit. Can you be specific as to exactly which 5770 you purchased?

Thanks

Desktop ATI cards are not supported on the Adobe list. They are reportedly unstable and create crashes.

The supported nVidia Cards for Mac are the way to go. OpenCL doesn’t seem so stable at the moment. There are only two ATI cards on the list are only for the MacBookPro’s.

Just giving you the heads up and not to expect desktop ATI cards to work, they won’t and your experience will suffer.
