RE: Mac Pro silver tower (2006-2012) Replacement Graphics cards

• Mac Os Mojave
• Mac Os Catalina

Mac OS, operating system (OS) developed by the American computer company Apple Inc. The OS was introduced in 1984 to run the company’s Macintosh line of personal computers (PCs). The Macintosh heralded the era of graphical user interface (GUI) systems, and it inspired Microsoft Corporation to develop its own GUI, the Windows OS. For professional users operating on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, this means the wait is over. The NVIDIA Quadro 4000 graphics processing unit (GPU) for Mac is optimized to accelerate workflows and drive. If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos. MAC OS X 10.5 powerpc; MAC OS X 10.5 powerpc (without ROOT/Plotting) MAC OS X 10.5 intel; MAC OS X 10.5 intel (without ROOT/Plotting) MAC OS X 10.6; MAC OS X 10.6 (without ROOT/Plotting) Instructions for installing the tools from the binary tarfile are here.

1) Apple brand cards,

2) 'sold in the Apple store' cards, and

3) 'Mac Edition' cards ...

... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:

1) Apple brand cards:

• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5. (This card has just been discontinued and is no longer available from Apple dealers. There may be some new, old stock still available at resellers)

• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450

2) 'sold in the Apple store' cards

• NVIDIA Quadro 4000 Fermi, about US$1200

• NVIDIA Quadro K5000 Kepler, about US$2500

3) 'Mac Edition' cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:

• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1

• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600

The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.

--------

If you are Meet ALL of these:

• running 10.8.3 or later AND

• don't care about 'no boot screens' etc AND

• can re-wire or otherwise 'work out' the power cabling, THEN:

Mac Os Mojave

You can use many more cards, even most 'PC-only cards'.

--------

One more thing--

Flashed PC cards: There are a good many EFI flashed cards that offer boot screens and behave like official cards. 'for more information about using and flashing non-Apple cards, please check out the various sites like Netkas (and others) that focus on and discuss what is known and available. (Not supported or endorsed by Apple.)'

You are an employee of Fermi Inc. a vast corporation designed to manage planets and ensure that their civilizations do not evolve too rapidly or too slowly. Unfortunately your planet isn't doing so great and with your boss breathing down your neck you're going to have to do something drastic to get ahead. The guy on the other side of the cube wall's planet is doing very well, he's got dinosaurs and a thriving ecosystem... hm, it sure would be a shame if something were to happen to it...

If you get stumped here's the solution for each day: http://joemagdesign.tumblr.com/post/150369277395/fermi-inc-solution
