Does anyone know if upgrading to this graphics card meets the requirements for Final Cut Pro X running on a 2007 MacPro2.1?

Up till now I have been happy with the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT on my 2007 MacPro2,1Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3 GHz - that was till I went to purchase FCP X on the APp STore and got the graphic card warning.

Is it possible to install three ATI Radeon HD 5770 video cards in the Mac Pro 2010 model?

Understand that there may be physical limitations, due to the heat-sink size. Also, a maximum of 24 dynamically allocated PCI-E lanes (quoted elsewhere). If these do not work, then are there other cards that would?

whats the benefit of using this card with the RadeonX1900 on a Mac Pro 1,1?? I do video editing

I do video editing and the Radeon X1900 gets extremely hot! I just purchase the ATI Radeon HD 5770, but has anyone installed both cards on a Mac Pro 1,1? will it increase rendering time, work fasters, etc etc?

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.

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.

I'm putting an orig. ATI RADEON HD 2600 XT VIDADPT in my Early 2008 Mac Pro (Video card just blew out I think- but want to make sure spending least amount of $$$). Until getting a card with more VRAM, will I be able to run Photoshop 6 on a 30" Cinema Display?
