Actually, I just wanted to upgrade the card to Metal Support to pass the requirement of some Apps!
Wow... so inspiring! Hmm... You bought from Macvidcards? Or flash by your own?
Yep, I bought mine already flashed from Macvidcards. The GTX7/8/9 series apparently all use the same built-in OSX drivers for metal as the GTX680 so they should all work fine for you.
When you install the NVIDIA GTX 680, what do you do for the appropriate drivers?
You can do either, I’ve seen them down to $60 secondhand, and the rest you can do yourself.. 😃
Alright n😊👍🏻
I see! Haha!
That's right, compatible card with flash ready always most welcomed!
$60 means Flashed unit? Then, it's quite cheap!
Non flashed. From a PC.
The drivers are built in the OS, just stick the card in and off I went.
Hi Guys! I found a Flashed-Dell GT640 for around USD 83. What do you think?
Sure, it has support for Metal apps, so give it a shot!
It’s a newer GeForce too.
Are you buying it new or used?
Not heard of that one being offered for use in MacPros before, i'd be a bit wary.
Can you post a link to the page you saw it.
Ok well as long as you can return it no questions asked if you don't find it suits your needs.
And does this person offer a guarantee.
I doubt you will notice any performance change, what do you do with your mac.
I have no idea if the GT 640 was a popular choice of card fro the MP 3.1.
