Hello,
Thank you for the help. I hope to upgrade the GPU on my 2012 mac pro, switching from an ATI Radeon 5770 to NVIDIA 1070.

Mac Pro Mid 2012 - 5,1
OS: High Sierra 10.13.6
CPU: 2 x 2.4 ghz 6-core intel xenon

I get a black screen when I boot with the NVIDIA card. Been using the same PCIE slot for consistantcy (lots of plugging and unplugging).
Power is just fine, and everything is plugged in correctly and all fans are spinning.
I installed the drivers through github (https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update/) and NVIDIA is installed to the most recent version. I can see NVIDIA in my prefs and toolbar, however my NVIDIA info looks differently labled than the examples I've seen
