I picked up 2x 6-to-8 pin PCIe adapters for the card. I picked it up off eBay for $260 back in May of 2017. The particular card I’ve been using is a lovely Asus Strix Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 TI 6 GB model. This is not a perfect solution, but it can work perfectly when setup and generally not messed around with.
Be aware of and accept that there’s no boot screen.Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite or later installed (GTX 9xx Maxwell cards will not work in an OS prior to 10.10).To install or even use a GTX 980 TI inside a Mac Pro 2,1, one must have the following already done to their Mac Pro: The idea behind this was being able to create a very powerful, no-questions-asked workhorse – and it worked out just fine. There are very few, if any, generations of technology/computers, let alone an Apple computer, that have been afforded the degree of versatility and third-party hardware/software support/functionality that the current era of tech has extended over to the first gen Mac Pros. In much the same way that others have squeezed life out of their older computers, I too, enjoy doing the same, but (perhaps) take a more “enthusiast” approach. Why Such a Modern GPU in Such an Old Machine? This, my friends, is where the GTX 980 TI graphics card comes in.
Granted, Apple stopped supporting these Mac Pros at Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, we can still squeeze a bit more life out of them using Piker Alpha’s boot.efi mod, which allows these older Mac Pros to boot Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. In contrast to the age of the older (first) Mac Pros, there is still some new hardware that is being released, which can be used on these Mac Pros, primarily due to the software support available. This method will work with any GTX680 card.ĭespite the Mac Pro 1,1 and 2,1 (2006/7) models hitting past the 10-year mark, there is, surprisingly, a great amount of hardware that is still available for use. In this video, I go over the process of flashing an nVidia GeForce GTX680 video card for use in an Apple Mac Pro. Given that a new Mac Pro is coming that could support Nvidia cards, and there. Apple just doesn't allow modern Nvidia GPUs on macOS Mojave, and this is a dramatic change from only six months ago.
