You need Apple drivers, and Apple only makes drivers for video cards they support. So it would not be quite that straightforward.

- schappim 13y agoA vendor can create their own drivers. This happens all the time for hardware made for the existing Mac Pro.
- baddox 13y agoThe existing Mac Pro is quite old. Are graphics cards still being made that support it?
- flomo 13y agoMy understanding is newer 'PC' cards with EFI firmware are unofficially supported.
- gilgoomesh 13y agoThe current Mac Pro is only 1 year old (although that was just a minor CPU bump). Similarly, graphics cards you can get for the Mac Pro are typically a year or so old. You can buy GTX 680s from NVidia or Radeon HD 7950s from ATI. The newest cards need to be flashed to Mac firmware. For example, you can buy pre-flashed GTX 770s like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nvidia-GTX-770-2-GB-for-Apple-Mac-Pro-680-Fastest-Mac-Card-available-today-/261226130579?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3cd24a6c93 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nvidia-GTX-770-2-GB-for-Apple-Mac-Pr...
