Will this card work in Mac Pro 2,1 (8-core)? Will it need any additional adapters, etc.?

I bought it for a PC but I also own a Mac and in your case I would check with Nvidia or Apple the drivers issue. It will fit because pcie is a standard but are there drivers for OsX/Mac available? That's the only concern here

I don't know forq sore. If you have a pci slot it should. Requires a power cable for optimal performance. I used mine on pc but no longer use as I upgraded.

No it will not work in a Mac Pro 2,1. You need to buy one that is specifically made for apple. This is the one with the PC bios. You can flash these versions to work with Mac but its a lot of hassle when you can just buy the correct one.

This card has been around for many years now but that does not mean it will work with a MAC. Normally the only mandatory requirement is that you have a PCIe-16 slot available and you can download the driver into BIOS. Remember this card takes up 2 slot spaces. If you install it and get no video at all you need to use a card that specifies that it is MAC compatible.

I don't think so, that mac pro would be too old. I'm a 5.1, 2009 model...and to get the speed from this card you need PCI2 2.0

it works completely fine with my iMac desktop. So it should work just fine with the new Mac Pro.

From doing a Lookup on the specs of the Mac pro Early 2009 version it says The Graphics Card is a 2.0 pci-e and this is a 3.0 pci-e Card, so you're wondering if the Card will work. The Answer is yes it should work without a problem, the only issue might be if you have enough space in your Case for the Card, I wouldn't know since I don't have a Mac! Good luck with your Build Though.

I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with a 2 x 2.4 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon 1066 Mhz DDR3 ECC and it worked flawlessly in mine. No issues what so ever, snapped right in and the Mac recognized it with zero issues.

Works well in my 2GHz MacBook 1,1 CoreDuo. I ran the memory test in Tech Tool Pro 6 and it passed. I also ran memtest from an older Ubuntu install CD and it passed. I have had one panic crash though. It is a machine given to me by my daughter when she upgraded, and I haven't used it that much.

Well, it worked on my Mac Pro, with is a current model, so I think you'll have no problem.

Hi sorry I used this memory on a 2.1 mac pro and it worked fine I don't know about if its comparable with your motherboard.

I agree with previous answerer. This is a real nice card but you need to check compatibilities to be sure. Also, this card is especially large physically, so be sure you have enough space in whatever you put it in past any other cards or slots you have installed other upgrades in or are utilizing from your MAC.

I have only used this card on a PC. If the MacBook Pro is a desktop, it will be able to be installed. The software enclosed is both PC and Mac software, so it is supposed to work. If there is trouble, the help line offers downloads.

They might, but the 1,1 and 2,1 have a slower memory speed than later versions, I bought these for a 1,1 because the speed matched. Check the MHz of the RAM in your MacPro now, then match that to get the best performance, its likely these: http://smile.amazon.com/Komputerbay-PC2-6400F-Buffered-Heatspreaders-PC2-6400/dp/B005HIWDFK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1426168218&sr=8-3&keywords=komputerbay+mac+pro

I used it with Mac OS (until I got a new Macbook Pro with USB 3.0 built in), so the answer is "yes." However, be aware that you'll need to find and install open-source drivers for the chipset on this card -- it won't work out of the box. If you don't feel comfortable doing a little bit of hacking to install the drivers, then you will not find it to be compatible with Mac OS.

It worked fine in my Mac Pro early 2008 (MacPro3.1) -- should work for you also (most of these are used, so it is possible your luck may vary).

I installed this device in my Mac Pro 1.1 and it works fine. It is much faster graphics processor than the original Nvidia that stopped working. And it was about the same price too.

I run a mac flashed version of this gigabyte card and a sapphire version of this card (no mac flash) in my 2009 mac pro. I have them set up in crossfire on win7. Works great. If you plan on using OS X only, then i recommend buying one that has been flashed for OS X boot screen. Otherwise yes it will work, just no boot screen during start up.

Yes, I have a Mac Pro 4,1 ( 2x2.93GHz ) running Mavericks and it was plug and play. As I had said in my review on this card a while ago, an excellent value for the price!

Yes a 2.0 card will work in a 1.0 slot. You will loose a little preformance but it will still serve its purpose
