[QUOTE="vodoochild81, post: 1373531, member: 157513"] Fair point, but I can not speak for everyone out there but saying Mac Pro owners are smart is a bit of a reach ha. Everyone I know are artistic types and totally not computer literate. I am a computer genius to them. That would be a worthy experiment but I was thinking why waste the time. I found the card here. [url=http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/726537-REG/Apple_MC742ZM_A_ATI_Radeon_HD_5770.html]Apple ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit MC742ZM/A B&H[/url] I live in the city so I can just pick it up and not pay shipping. Wouldn't it be smarter anyway to pay like 90 dollars more for a peace of mind? Also I am sure 1st party the card is way quieter and resilient. Also, is there a HUGE difference btwn this card and the 5870? Will I get be able to unlock that cards fully potential with an early 08 mac? [/QUOTE]
