Guys I have 2 GTX 1070 (Cost a small fortune) graphics cards, and I was wondering if they can be flashed for Mac Pro usage, or will the run anyway, as I'm installing windows 7 on another partition anyway..

Ok.. But you see I already have both of them inside my Dell Precision T5500 PC.. However SLI is not supported in my Dell.... But it would be nice if I could use one in my Mac (They have 3 cooling fans)...

You can use then on the Mac now, flash is not required unless you need the boot screen.

Also, I think SLI can be enabled by software method if the motherboard is not supported.

Does SLI have any real possibilities in macOS with eGPU's on the horizon? Likely would not benefit much on a cMP 5,1 but would give some hope for future MacPro's.

Hi I have tried the software method.. But even though I copied the video driver to the same folder as the program, so DifferentSLIAuto could patch it. It can't find the driver... so that program didn't work...

Oh, it's called DifferentSLIAuto
