GeForce 8800 GTX (OC) working on 2008 Mac Pro under Vista 64!

While we were waiting for our GeForce 8800 GT kit to arrive for our new Mac Pro 3.2GHz 8-core, we decided to install Vista 64 on a Boot Camp partition. At the time we had the Radeon HD 2600 XT installed. We shutdown. Installed a PC version of the GeForce 8800 GTX. Powered up. Voila! It worked! It worked even better once we installed the Vista 64 drivers that came with it.

We just ran Prey benchmark at 1920x1200 "High Quality." We get 155 fps.
Compare that to the same Mac Pro with a Radeon X1900 XT which gets 64 fps
and a Radeon HD 2600 XT which gets 36 fps.

The latest, greatest Mac., Mac OS X (10.5.1)
