[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1115893, member: 56379"] The reason why I asked was...you have a "Late 2007" Mac Pro. To the best of my knowledge this Mac Pro still had PCIe 1.0 expansion slots...the ATI 5770 video card is supposed to require a PCIe 2.0 expansion slot. This is one of the reasons why newer video cards are not compatible with some of the older Mac Pro's. So if you got the ATI 5770 working in your Mac Pro...that's a very interesting situation! If I got any of this info incorrect...please let me know.:) I have a 1st generation "quad-core" Mac Pro (with PCIe 1.0 expansion slots)...and I would love to have more video card upgrade options. - Nick [/QUOTE]
