Mac Edition card in a Windows PC possible?

[adam9c1]

Is it possible to run a Mac edition video card in a PC?

I found a EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition. Not sure if it's working or not.
Can this run OK in a PC or will it not work at all?

 

[A Hobo]

Yes.

no need to flash firmware?

 

[A Hobo]

No.

It'll work, but not in pure UEFI mode, you'll need legacy support (CSM).

And if you really wanted to you could always flash a stock rom back onto it.

Will it boot Windows in UEFI mode correctly after the bastard Apple EFI firmware has been loaded?

Fl0r!an says no.

Windows defaults to UEFI boot with a GPT disk.

I've had zero issues using a EVGA GTX680 Mac Edition on an existing UEFI Windows 10 install on a Supermicro system with CSM support disabled.

Considering the ranting I’ve been doing over consumer law on these forums I felt like I needed some short and precise posts to balance it off.

It might depend on the UEFI implementation, my Asus board refuses to boot without CSM when no UEFI GOP graphics card is present (it'll reboot and automatically reenable CSM). UGA video drivers are no part of UEFI spec, so I guess it's usually not supported.

I’ve installed the GTX 680 into an old PC running Windows 10 (it has an old - pre UEFI BIOS). The card is detected. I have boot screen.
