Is there any possible way to use other video cards in the new Mac Pro? Just curious. I have a Nvidia GTX 280 just going to waste. Would be so nice to have a card like that in this computer.
Thanks!
 
Wont work on a mac, sorry. There are other options for the mac pro's though.

1. NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512MB of GDDR3 memory, PCI Express 2.0, one Mini DisplayPort, and one dual-link DVI port

2. ATI Radeon HD 4870 with 512MB of GDDR5 memory, PCI Express 2.0, one Mini DisplayPort, and one dual-link DVI port

It would work under Windows, but not OS X. :(
 
I bought it with 2 x GT 120s. If I put my GTX 280 in it to use just for windows, what would happen when I'm in OSX? Would it just be ignored? Or cause lots of errors?
Thx
