apple nvidia 8800gt 512mb video card for mac pro

I'm going to try to clean the dust of this GPUs fan and see if that helps and gets me back up temporarily so I can gather up all that info. My Mac Pro is a 2008, I don't know all the exact specifics and can't get it up to display to grab any of that information from the System Info to share, sorry. Maybe there is a newer gen card and other brand that might be just as good and cost the same or not too much more I should consider? The question is would you replace the card with the same exact thing or do the 2nd gen, what did they come out with a 2nd gen one for, I'm assuming they probably made some improvements?įor what I do this card has been fine, photo editing and some light video editing and basic other computer tasks, so no need for me to buy a $$$$$ card. I think I have the space in side the case to fit the bigger 2nd gen one. I'm seeing a seller on eBay who has the Original card, which the photo looks exactly like what I just pulled out of my Mac Pro, then they are selling a 2nd Gen version as well. I was able to boot back up a few times, swapping the DVI port on the card, but now neither port will give me a display when powering back on, it did for a few days, but now nothing. It won't wake from sleep anymore, and so I have to hard power down. Now I'm just wondering if I can make use of both video cards (would that be beneficial if I'm just running one - or maybe two 24' monitors, working with Final Cut Studio programs and Photoshop) or should I just sell the ATI 2600 card and install the NVIDIA 8800.So I think my Original Apple Mac Pro nVidia GeForce 8800 GT 512MB DVI PCIe Video Graphics Card is dying on me. Now I have the computer I wanted, for the price I wanted, but I've got two video cards! So, I purchased the refurbished MacPro and then also purchased the NVIDIA 8800 upgrade kit. Fully displays Apple Boot Screen that appears before OS X finishes loading.

I am planning on using this system to do quite a bit of Motion and Color work, so I really wanted the NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512MB video card. Compatible with Mac Pro 1,1 2,1 (2006, 2007). It was listed at a great price $2,399 - so I bought it, with the only drawback being that it came with the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB video card. I just purchased a refurbished 8-core 2.8ghz MacPro from Apple.
