New GTX Cards flashed for Mac?
i guys , i posted this question a while ago on another thread , but got kind of ignored , so i am trying again ,
because seems that people is having good results on hakintosh and flashed GTX cards ,
I am wondering …what is the criteria of having this cards flashed for mac ?
i mean all of them can be flashed and used (like is happening for the 470/480?)i am asking because the new GTX590 have 1024 cuda cores !!!! and cost 750usd … (basically 4 times the power of the quadro 4000 for the same price ….
https://www.geforce.com/#/Hardware/GPUs/geforce-gtx-590/specifications
so , how this is possible ???
i am wondering if it is safe invest 5K on a Cubix solution having 3 4000 if 1 GTX590 can give the same power to resolve …
thanks

more cuda more watts and more heat inside mac pro.
Probably it is hackable but there will be downside for over heating and no power to drive this monster.
Mac pros power supply will fail.so you still would need cubix and you have to beef up the power supply if needed.
Win some loose some.

I don’t dont Doubt you can Run the Card just fine in your Mac with an external power supply .
The question is , how many Cuda cores are usable then.
If Osx or Dav limits it to 2xx then there is no gain.
I think if you have the need for a Cubix, you also find the funds.
I just had the pleasure working on a double 4000 system and it rocked my 16 node tree without a glitch.
I will try the same project now on my 120/285 system and compare.A slice of color…

If there is a “diminishing returns” situation when adding more CUDA cores (beyond 300?) has anybody has tried out the flashed 2gig version of the GTX 285 from MacVidCards? Maybe there is more value in having more memory? Especially with the Decklink 4K coming up? It’s around $400…

Perhaps. Was there ever any benchmark made of the GTX 470 running inside a Mac Pro (not Hackintosh)?
This card seems to be a very happy compromise – it’s low power enough to run off of the Pro’s PSU, but still a newer generation Fermi card. And only $400 from MacVidCards.
