Will my mac pro support this graphics card?

Hi


I have a 2007 3.0GHZ Mac pro, the current graphics card in it - ATI X1900 XT is giving me a lot of problems for a while now. I have taken it out cleaned it and put if back in but they are still happening. Then I found this artical about it -

Looks like there was a problem with it and apple were replacing all the cards within 3 years of purchase which I have missed. So I want to buy a new one, but I want to make sure my mac will support it. The problem is I do video work so I want a decent one and it needs to have 2 DVI ports. Would my mac support this card

Is there somewhere I can get a list of supported cards for a specific mac pro model?


Thanks!

Would my mac support this card

Not as is, but will this one:

ATI Radeon HD 5870 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro - Apple Store


Many opt for this:

ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro - Apple Store


Note that OS version is of issue. You don't list yours, but update or upgrade may be necessary.


If you are up to it make your own radeon HD 5770/5870/6870/6850 Mac ROM! and flash a Windows compatible (like you linked).
