Hi - newbie here. Looking for a video card.
I gave my old MacPro 4.1 new 5.1 firmware, then maxed the RAM to 128 GB. Also swapped in 2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon.
But I'm using an OLD ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB. I have a GeForce GTX 570HD, but the Mac crashes whenever it's plugged in. I tried installing CUDA and Nvidia drivers, but no luck.
So, with Mac cards costing a fortune, what PC card will actually work without me needing an engineering degree? (Or can I get the 570 to work? When it's plugged in, system profiler says PCI error.)
(This is NOT a Hackintosh, this is a real MacPro tower -- Early 2009)
