Will a GTX 1050 Work on my Mac Pro?

I have 2 Mac Pro 2012 2x6-cores.

Each came installed with the ATI Radeon HD 5770.

I have installed the GTX 1050 on one and the gtx 950 on another.
Both work, albeit without the boot screen.
To get the boot screen, I keep the original card in for one monitor that doesn't require 4K capability.

I also installed the NVIDIA web drivers.

Just make sure you order yourself through amazon or something, some mini-6pin to 6pin power cable for video card.

As per the almost identical thread here - How compatible is the EVGA Nvidia GTX 1070 graphics card the answer is that these newer cards currently have no Mac drivers available for them.

It is possible to currently use them in a classic Mac Pro but only when using Windows via Boot Camp. You will have to wait for Mac drivers before these cards can be used in OS X. This is on the assumption drivers will eventually arrive.

I can't believe its been this long and Apple still hasn't attempted to work with nvidia to create drivers for the 10 series. Its not nvidia's fault. They are willing to create the drivers, but Apple isn't co-operating at all. This is absurd and needs to become a priority. It's been long enough. Obviously shows that Apple doesn't care about its customers after they've made their purchase.

nvidia has announced the titan xp to work with osx:

In how far a 1050 will be supported by the new pascal osx driver, i dont know.

Hi tko03, Yes the card will work. I'm running an Nvidea Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4 MB in my MacPro 5.1 (Mid2012). With MacOS Sierra 10.12.4 and latest Nvidea web drivers. After upgrading from a GTX 760Ti SC which also worked very well. This is why I have kept my MacPro's.

I have a 3,1 early 2008 running 10.11.6 El Capetian I have the Nvidia Driver installed. And the firmware update from apple the system doesn't show a screen some times had lines figured a bad 8800gt installed a new GTX1050ti no screen still but i can remote view my comp via team viewer. I'm lost because in this thread i was seeing that it is possible and also seeing that it is not possible. do i have to install the cuda driver? how can i tell if i have installed that? I'm hopping it works if it doesn't then ill be buying a card from macvid.

I just installed the EVGA Superclocked GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4gb single fan unit (doesn't need a power cable) into my MacPro 4.1. Bought the card off Amazon for $135.

Downloaded the latest Quadro driver for Sierra 10.5 from Nvidia. I didn't install the CUDA driver because I've read on some forums that is caused issues with some video editing apps. My MacPro is setup for creative suite and I don't do video work.

After installing the driver and then the new GPU I restarted the computer with no issues. You will get a black screen until the login screen appears.

I used the Quadro 4000 or 5000 driver for Mac .. BUT I only get DVI monitor to show .. no HDMI or Display Port - this on EVGA Superclock 1050 Ti .. I pulled the card and put my old AMD 7850 in .. so I could have my multi-monitor support back .. I would appreciate help from anyone who has the magic formula to get multi-monitor support to work using the 1050 Ti

TIA seki

The question is, how did you get Team viewer open without being able to see your screen with the card not letting the screen show anything? You would have to log in and then open team viewer and all that kind of stuff. I think it does work. Unless NVidia didn't let updates for the TI series and just the regular 10XX series and the Titan XP.

I too am looking for a graphics card for my 2009 Mac Pro.

I read that Nvidia GTX 10x cards have problems with Nvidia drivers.

When the computer wakes from sleep the screen flickers.

I read that AMD R9 280 , RX 260, RX 280 , RX 580 RX 480 work better and have native support built into MacOS High Sierra.

I tried the RX 560 from XFX and had to return it. Definitely did not work. All I got was the boot chime but black screen. No display. I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 running the latest High Sierra. I read somewhere that it is specifically XFX that doesn’t work. I exchanged it for an Nvidia 1050ti from PNY. I’ll report back after the install to see how it works

How did 1050ti work? Is it ok?
I currently have a 750ti 2gb but except vga nothing else works. I tried flash-ing with other rom, but I still had no boot image. The image appeared when it required the password to log in.

It could work if following driver is installed on your Mac Pro.

The cards do work with Boot Camp though with Windows drivers

I bought that card, and have the same Mac Pro. I tried every NVIDIA driver I could find, (Nvidia doesn't make it easy to locate all the various Mac drivers). Most wouldn't even install with Sierra, the few that would didn't work. Monitor stayed black for a very long time after boot. I didn't expect to see the boot screen, but I did think it would eventually show the desktop 😟 I'm returning to the card tomorrow.
