Hi all, long time lurker first time poster. I've got a Mac pro 4.1 2.26Ghz that has been flashed with 5.1 firmware.
The issue is that I've just installed a flashed XFX HD 5770 like this one to use as a back up card and it all works fine apart from the mini display port. I get the apple logo and...

The problem with non-EFI (PC) graphics cards is that they aren't initialized by the Mac boot sequence, so the screen remains black until a compatible driver is loaded.
The built-in default OS X nVidia driver supports older-generation graphics cards like the GTX 680 (you still won't have a...

Hi all,
I dug my old Mac Pro 1,1 out of storage, and found that I could use standard PC GPUs in it. I've been using an EVGA GTX 680 2G in it for a few weeks, but the lack of a boot screen can be frustrating at times, and I see that it's only running at 8x PCI speed.
