I have a 3,1 Mac Pro and want to replace the dead video card in it. If I buy this "kit" do I need anything else? Or can this just replace the bad one?

Early 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 with a non working stock ATI card.
I need to find a replacement but saw this was listed as a "kit" and did not know if I needed something other than this kit to get it up and going.

Does this card support 3D output in any way? Have a Mac Pro 2008 3,1 with HDMI 1.4a for output of blu-ray video/games in bootcamp, 3d games on Mac

I see some mention of ATI supporting 3D in the 5000 seires cards on PC but I see no way to get 3D signal out of this mac card. Can you do it through DVI? Can the DVI connection be adapted to HDMI 1.4a (the minimum needed for a 3D HDMI connection to TV or projector or monitor)? Are there any mini-displayport adapters to HDMI 1.4a? So far, I have either found mention of HDMI 1.3 or no specific HDMI version (that includes Moshi and Belkin adapters that Apple recommends). HDCP may be a background issue as well.

I can play Blu-Ray on bootcamp/win 7 with stock ATI 2600 card and Apple Display 30". I want to add a 3d monitor to my office and try 3D that way.

As a side note, I hear that Mac Mini with the Nvidia graphics can output 1.4a via built-in HDMI under bootcamp/win 7 but I have not verified this myself.

Can I install two ATI HD 5770's in my Mid 2010 Mac Pro?

Can I install two ATI HD 5770's in my Mid 2010 Mac Pro without using adapters?


I want to use 4 monitors at one time all through apple mini display portals... [or dvi if necessary]

I want to avoid buying the adapters.


ALSO: In the upgrade kits sold from apple.com or amazon -- how many graphics cards actually come in the package? The picture looks like two?

NEC 3090 users, do you see video from boot onward?

It is a "known issue" with both the 3870 and the 4870 cards that you won't see anything on a NEC 3090 until you get past the whole boot sequence and to the login screen (which is a pain, believe me!). Also I would want to be running this from the Dual-Link DVI (not through the $99 adapter and mini displayport) if that makes a difference.

I'm wondering if this issue has been resolved with this card or not before I buy.

Why does this require a Mac Pro (Mid 2010)? Q+A suggests older mac pro's may work? I would like to buy this, but am afraid to.

Why does the description on the apple page tell us that a mid 2010 mac pro is required?

Reading Q+A, this seems to be inaccurate.

I am afraid to buy this. But I would like a video card with a mini-dvi port, and not sure what my options are for a 2007 mac pro is currently uses a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 T.

Would two of these work in crossfire in Windows? (2006 Mac Pro 1,1)

I know that you can crossfire graphics card on a Mac Pro while running windows, but would it work with these, official apple cards, or better yet one apple card and one PC (non-flashed) card. Thanks in advance.

Is the auxiliary power cable included with apple graphics upgrade kits?

Anyone ever bought a graphics update which required auxiliary power cable? I don't think they came with my early 2009 Mac Pro with the GT120 and I will need them soon.
