Hey guys
Ive got an early 2008 mac pro and I decided I need to upgrade the graphics card. I bought a Nvidia Geforce 660ti and installed it into the mac, but it doesnt seem to be working. It registers in the about this mac section but when I try and play any games the game either crashes or the graphics are really slow and laggy.
I had a radeon 5 series card which used two mini PCIe to normal PCI 6 pin leads, the GTX 660ti uses one. So I just plugged one lead in and the graphics card turns on (fans work). Like I said, the graphics card comes up in the 'about this mac' section as being there, just doesn't seem to be doing anything. I have updated all the drivers, but it just doesn't want to work. Has anyone got any experience with getting one of these cards to talk? I know its been done.
Cheers
Jordan
