Hi guys,
I would like to buy an unflashed Geforce GTX 980 for my MacPro. This card should replace the Radeon 5870 in slot 1. (slot 2 has a GT120, slot 3 has an USB 3.0 card, slot 4 an Accelsior SSD) I have read in the forums this:
-I have to install the webdriver before I install the card.
-I won't have a startup screen. This could be a problem when I want to repair my startupdisk.
-PRAM zapping disables the webdriver
Does this card work in my Mac Pro?
If yes, is there anyone who has a MacPro 6c 3.33 Ghz. Could you post the Cinebench R15 results please?
I am also a bit worried about the fan speed, won't that be too high? Current speed is only 800-850 rpm
Updating the system software will cause troubles I think, since it disables the webdriver.
Is it possible to connect my display to a GT120 in slot 2 and boot with this card. Then I would reinstall the webdriver.
please help, thanks for reading.
kind regards
