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. …More67 of 75 people found this useful

Works with Two Displays on Early 2008 Mac Pro

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! …More43 of 49 people found this useful

2008 Mac Pro 8core 2.88ghz

works perfectly, alongside my 8800gt card.
i'm a grad student and photographer, currently running two displays on the 8800gt, and a third from the gt120.
perfect for my use, especially since it doesn't require the auxiliary power that the 8800gt has taken already.
an example of my usage: it allows me to write papers with so much ease, dedicating one screen to reading (1600x1200, flipped vertically), one to writing (1920x1200), and the third one (1280x1024) to misc tasks such as organizing the article files etc.
PS i would not recommend the card to anyone interested in extreme performance however -- a mere glance at the spec comparison against even the ol 8800gt ought to tell even the laymen that it's not meant for heavy lifting. …More3 of 3 people found this useful

My original video card died and I bought a Radeon 3870. Put it into my MacPro 2008 and it was WAY TOO LOUD! So I bought the GT120 and it's QUIET! Can not hear the card. I'm happy! …More
