Can I one ATI Radeon HD 4870 and the original NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 in my Dual MacPro 4,1?

I purchased a Dual 2.26GHz Mac Pro (on November 18) with the default NVIDIA GeForce GT 120. If it is possible to have up to four GT 120s (apparently none require additional power), then can an ATI Radeon HD 4870 be installed, hooked up to both additional power connectors and still retain the GT 120 in another PCIe slot?

Does this support video out (s-video or composite) with DVI to video adaptor?

I have a new MacPro (8 core) running OS X 10.6 and want a graphics card that will output TV video (not VGA monitor video). Will the ATI Radeon HD 4870 put out a TV video signal with the Apple DVI to video adaptor?

I currently have the ATI x1900 with 512MB in 1st Gen Mac Pro (2006), Is this card worth the upgrade?

I run AutoCAD in Windows XP (bootcamp) everyday on this machine. Since upgrading to the latest 2010 CAD software I am having issues with stability. Just curious if this card will give me a noticeable boost in performance?

Is there any firmware update for this card? Where to find it?

I had a problem with Maya and searching through the Internet forums someone said that it had the same problem and solved it updating his ATI card firmware. Could it be my problem?

I bought my Mac Pro with this card installed.

Thank you for your attention.
