Which Nvida 4000 Card

[Alex Gerulaitis]

The Mac version is the one to use for a Mac Pro although it will also works on non-Mac systems.

The standard (non-Mac) version may not work and is not supported on a Mac Pro.

Hi Alex!

Thanks on your fast reply, but i’m still confusing

I understand that i must use a Nvidia 4000 for Mac, but under this tag in the NVIDIA webpage, there are 2 cards to choose from.

This is the link

Thanks in advance

It’s one and the same, the two “appearances” are from two stores, Amazon and Newegg.

And dont be shocked if it shows up as PNY.
Its an Nvidia.

The non-mac version definitely does not work in a Mac or Cubix expander connected to a mac.

I have two PC quadro 4000’s for sale if anyone wants them…. $1,000aud for both.

Just to clarify, I’ve got a Quadro FX 4800 which will run inside my PC workstation, or inside a GPU-Xpander connected to my PC workstation. It will not work if installed in a Mac Pro, or if installed into a GPU-Xpander attached to the Mac Pro. OS-X requires a version of these cards with firmware specific to OS-X (or if you’re fortunate, a flashed GTX 470).

Like others in this thread, I’ve also heard that the OS-X specific NVIDIA cards can be installed into Windows or Linux machines with the proper drivers loaded and run just fine.
