will this card work on a mac pro
2005276
I have only used this card on a PC. If the MacBook Pro is a desktop, it will be able to be installed. The software enclosed is both PC and Mac software, so it is supposed to work. If there is trouble, the help line offers downloads.

Yes, this card should work, although I don't think it will work with Pro Tools, if that happens to be what you are going to use it for.

This card works out of the box on Lion 10.7 and ML 10.8 in a Hackintosh. In an actual Mac Pro, I do not know. But I think the card would be detected and the drivers installed the same way. There is no need to download any drivers or install any drivers. The support for the card is built into the Apple OS.

I don't think there is such thing called "Mac edition" it's PCI-E if u have that slot then it should work and if it's 16x will work perfectly

I don't know if it will work in a 4,1 Mac Pro. I am using it successfully in a 5,1 Mac Pro.

My Mac Pro is a 2007 model, but I believe that all of the video cards from one will work with the other. So, you should have no problem. If you're adding this as an additional video card, instead of a replacement, you're going to want to put it in the top slot (your other card is already in the bottom slot). Then, connect the highest-resolution monitor to the card in the bottom slot. The bottom slot is 16 bit; the top one is 8 bit and all the others are 4 bit. There's supposed to be a performance hit when using anything but the bottom slot, but unless you're using it for video with a high-res monitor, I doubt you'll notice it.

I would be very hesitant to use the card. When I bought my Mac Pro in January 2008, the card was on back order and I had to accept two 250 MB cards instead of one 500 MB. Several years later, I bought the 500 MB card. Graphics cards are in a constant state of flux. The card in question might not even fit (240 pin vs 180 pin). Apple customer support may show you the compatibility. Apple is much better in this respect than it used to be. There are also web sites that can help. Good luck.

No it will not work in a Mac Pro 2,1. You need to buy one that is specifically made for apple. This is the one with the PC bios. You can flash these versions to work with Mac but its a lot of hassle when you can just buy the correct one.

I personally do not know, I do not have a MacPro. Best answer is to go to StarTech.com and look for the model and see if they have drivers for Macs. Sorry I couldn't give you the answer you needed.

When I first ordered MB560Z/A NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro [ASIN: B00185RRXE], Apple Core Tech emailed me: "Thank you for purchasing the 8800 GT nVidia Graphics Card. The card you have selected is compatible with 2006 and 2007 (1,1 and 2,1) Mac Pros only, as described in its condition. Please contact me ASAP if you have a different Mac Pro model and I will make sure to send you the correct 8800 GT nVidia Graphics Card." I responded that my machine an early 2009 MacPro, 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, and needed two dual link dvi outputs to drive two 30" Cinema Displays. They sent me a version of the card that has been working perfectly for over a year. My mac reports it as Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x8 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0611 Revision ID: 0x00a2 ROM Revision: 3233

I've managed to get it working well on a 1,1 Mac Pro, so I imagine you should have no trouble at all.

This is a graphics card for a desktop PC with an open PCI-Express slot. This card is not compatible with any laptop and I don't know much about Macs so I wouldn't know if this could even fit in a regular Mac Pro.

So long as you have a PCI express slot to install it in then it should work fine in a 2008 Mac Pro

They might, but the 1,1 and 2,1 have a slower memory speed than later versions, I bought these for a 1,1 because the speed matched. Check the MHz of the RAM in your MacPro now, then match that to get the best performance, its likely these: http://smile.amazon.com/Komputerbay-PC2-6400F-Buffered-Heatspreaders-PC2-6400/dp/B005HIWDFK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1426168218&sr=8-3&keywords=komputerbay+mac+pro

I bought the mini PCIe for my Mac Pro 1 because the regular(PCI) card pins did not fit into the PCI slot. I needed a PCIe(e= extended) according to the techs at Apple. The card works well and I have no issues with it.... I hope this helps.

Thanks for your answers, unfortunately neither situation is the case. I have a new Probook 4540s and have to replace the AR9485 with an AR9280 or AR9285 for a Hackintosh. This card will work with OSX but only certain cards work in the Probooks (something to do with the card's BIOS).

In my experience it only works if you get the "Mac Edition". Some souces say that ANY version of this card will work its just the "non Mac" models won't show the apple "splash screen" but will still function AFTER the computer fully boots. I would seek the Mac edition to be on the safe side.

Hi. From what I've researched, this Airport Extreme Card is compatible with all generations of Mac Pro through 2009. My Mac Pro is an Early 2009 model with a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. It is easy enough to install once you remove the modules around the area where it will be installed (looking at the inside of the tower, it is just left of center), but it is somewhat difficult to attach the wires unless you have small enough tools. I had to have a local computer repair shop do that part of the installation. It was worth the extra $25. You might find additional installation instructions at www.ifixit.com. :-)
