NVIDIA geforce GT 120 card in my 08 Mac Pro
Written by MO from Saanichton

i bought this card for my 2008 YES 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 Quad-Core Intel Xeon and it works great. I would recommend this card if your are trying to hook up new 24" LED cinema display to your 08 MP. I also have a ATI Radeon 4870 and i think this card is just as nice and 3 times cheaper. Hope this helps. …More

Now running 2 of these cards in my mac pro
Written by JM from TORRANCE

I just received and installed this card in the second 16x slot in my new 2.66GHz Quad-Core (Nehalem) Mac Pro. I purchased the second card so I would not have to use a mini display port-DVI adapter to run two Dell 3007WFP monitors. I installed the 2nd card carefully, started the computer and both monitors are now running without issue. It could not have been easier.
Even with two of these GT120 cards running this Mac Pro produces a 1/4 of the heat and noise that my Powermac G5 did with just one card installed!
In my case this was easy upgrade route to power two large monitors without any of the mini display port adapter headaches some users have experienced. …More58 of 64 people found this useful

I am also using this card in an Early 2008 (that's two-thousand-eight) Mac Pro 3,1.
I have an older 23" Cinema Display connected as the secondary monitor through this card's DVI port, and a glorious 24" LED Cinema Display as the main display hooked up to the mini display port. Works great! …More33 of 37 people found this useful

Card arrived today and spins happily away in slot 2 alongside the NVIDIA GT8800 in slot 1.
There are no installation instructions included so it's probably a good idea to mention the plastic cover sheet which must be removed because otherwise it would block the air inlet. - JG …More18 of 18 people found this useful
