Review: Fast graphics card - I do a lot of editing and motion graphics for a living and this is one insanely fast card. And it works in my MacPro, perfect!
Review: Best CUDA for the Mac- 4K at 60fps- Great upgrade for video and graphics enthusiasts still on previous model Mac Pro - Outputs 4 displays, and can do 4K at 60 fps via DisplayPort. The CUDA engine is ideal for those using Adobe Premiere as well. It also significantly speeds up 3D in After Effects. One of the better high end cards for the previous Mac Pro Tower, and really one of the only options for graphics work at this point for the now legacy based machine. This is not an ideal fit for gaming, and cheaper options are available if you don't need CUDA acceleration. Glad to see this was made for a now discontinued Mac Pro. I upgraded from the Quadro 4000 card, and it's well worth it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive but effective
*by C***H on February 13, 2014*

Since new Apple video editing applications no longer support my original ATI 5200 video cards, I had a choice. Upgrade to a new Mac Pro or iMac, or replace my video card with something that is supported. This card is supported by Apple (who will sell it to you for full list price at the Apple store). The card installed easily, and is operating flawlessly with native OSX support. I am driving 3 displays which no problems. This one card replaced two ATI 5200 cards and freed up a PCIe slot for PCIe SSD (with two added external eSATA ports). These two steps allow me to continue with my antique 2008 Mac Pro, buying time for the new Mac Pro to shake down. The only downside is the cost. These two steps cost 2/3 the cost of a fully configured new iMac, but for me this was a better choice while I wait for the new Mac Pro to mature. An old systems expert explained, "Never go with release 1 of anything!". Good advice.
