which non apple graphic card in mac pro 3,1 to use with fcp7-fcp x-premiere?
which non apple graphic card in mac pro 3,1 to use with fcp7-fcp x-premiere?
i’m running a mac pro 3,1/10.6.8/with stock gt8800/512 graphics card.
i’m hoping to eek out a bit more life from this mac pro by upgrading the graphics card.
by upgrading to mavericks (or mountain lion), i can access non-apple graphic cards but lose the boot-up screen.
but i’m unsure of which graphic card will fit/work/be effective in my mac pro.
it has been recommend to me the EVGA GeForce GTX 660 2GB Graphic Card:

any thoughts on the above card?
any other cards that might be a better solution?
i welcome any and all thoughts.
thank you in advance.
be well.

We use this Quadro card:
We have them running on 5 systems with 100% success. Two of them for almost 3 years.
If you have the cash – the Quadro K5000 is an even better option.
We’ve used both Ebay resellers with 100% satisfaction.

thanks for the response.
i’m still pointed towards the evga gtx 660:
i was wondering if you had any power supply issues or was it just plug and play.
thanks in advance.
be well.

Hi Rob,
For us, both were just plug and play.
