I have a Mac Pro, 2008 version, and i have a graphics card, a xtx 9800 gtx+, i have bought some cables to give the gc the power it needs, so that's not the problem. However , when i boot up the mac, it doesn't show anything on the display. This is when put in the first pci-e16x port. Same thing when put in the second pci-e16x.
My stock gc, ATI HD2600, does not display anything when put in the second pci-e16x, but that's another thing.
I did read something about using kexts for the 8800, on the 9800 gtx, but i haven't found too much info on that.
So, to conclude ;
Is it possible to use a 9800 gtx+ graphics card in a mac pro?
Thanks in advance!
