5870/5770 + 2006/2008 Mac Pro + future firmware updates

[DualShock]

Ok, so it's pretty much confirmed that the 5870 and 5770 work on pre-2010 Mac Pro's.

So what happens if Apple issues a firmware update for the 5870 or the 5770? Will that firmware update installer/flashing utility run on a pre-2010 Mac Pro?

can certainly be made to.

If the past is any indication, you'll get firmware updates just fine.

If not, as Cindori said, there are people who can make it happen.
