The Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT card that our new Mac Pro came with is a $200 option; it comes with 512MB of graphics memory—twice the graphics memory as the stock ATI card. The GeForce 8800 GT also. The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT is the graphics upgrade for the first generation Mac Pros and works like a charm. XBench 1.3: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT System Info Xbench Version 1.3 System Version 10.5.2 (9C7010) Physical RAM 2048 MB Model MacPro1,1 Drive Type SAMSUNG HD401LJ Quartz Graphics Test 208.48 Line 185.33 12.34 Klines/sec 50% alpha 2. This is how to flash an nVidia GeForce 8800GT or GTS graphics card (512 MB variant only) for use on a Mac Pro. The things you'll need to do this are a PC wit. A DVI port cannot upconvert to the modern DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort via a straight cable. You would have to purchase a converter. For the 8 year old GeForce 8800 GT, a DVI to HDMI cable might work, but the resolution will be 1920x 1080. Go back to the top of this monitor Forum.
