Best Mac Pro Graphics Card? (for StarCraft 2)

[Frixo Cool]

It runs great on 8-core 3.0GHz + 4870 and Cinema 30", most settings on high, some on ultra. I'll upgrade to 5870 as soon as available.

On my other machine in my studio it's just a bit slower, it's a 8-core 2.8GHz + 8800GT and Cinema 30" - the catch with the bugged NVIDIA drivers is to switch from full-screen to window and back again and voila - your frame rate should be all right then!

Nope, not upgradeable. The best thing you can do is boot the machine up in Windows, which offers better performance in Starcraft II than Mac OS X.
