I bootcamp my Mid-2010 Mac Pro Desktop so I can play games on it as well. However, the graphics card is very outdated. I'm wondering can I replace the one I have with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080?
Here is a link to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080:
Yes you can put a 1080 GTX in a Mac Pro 5,1 just wish Apple made drivers for it but for now it only works in windows, I have installed the 1080 GTX and a Titan X Pascal both works fine under windows, there no support for the Mac side as of yet here are a couple of videos I made on youtube hope this can help you out
the titan X pascal does works check out my videos on you 34skyline is my user name, bur it only works under bootcamp in windows, there no mac support yet
Request for clarification...
If I don't care about being able to see the boot process [&/or have a spare card I can swap in in order to diagnose if necessary]...
Will a 1080 work 'properly' once the boot is completed, or would it still have some limitation/major speed hit/incompatibility?
In a similar manner to, for instance, an old GTX 570 which I have tried in the past with no noticeable issues other than 'boot blindness'.
Can I put the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 into my Mid-2010 Mac Pro Desktop?
