[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 890922, member: 56379"] The 1st generation Mac Pro came with the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, the ATI X-1900 was an upgrade (I have this in my Mac Pro), and the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 I think was the top of the line card at the time. I also heard someone on this forum installing an ATI Radeon HD 4870 card. It being a newer card I wouldn't have thought that it would work, but the MacForums member said it did. So your options are: - NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256mb - ATI X-1900 512mb $399.00 - NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512mb - ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb $349.00 These are the graphics cards I know will work in a 1st gen. Mac Pro. Prices that are missing I do not know...you could check e-Bay for used prices. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
