[QUOTE="tmilz, post: 695729, member: 61807"] Thank you for your post. The Apple website says that the video card uses 1 auxiliary power cable. I am assuming this is a pigtail off of the main power supply within the Mac Pro. When I look inside my Mac Pro (1st gen., early 2008), I don't see any power cables - Apple has them well routed somewhere within the box, or just doesn't make them available. Did you run into problems with this? P.S. - if I go with the Quadro FX 5600 - the website says I need two power cables... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
