Urgent ... Mac Pro Graphics

[Rui Azevedo]

Good evening, I work with a mac pro 3.1, known as early 2008 and the graphics burned. I need to buy another, but since I have to invest, I want invest in a good and current plate up to 100 € (I'm from Portugal). But with some research I learned that not all graphics cards are apparently compatible. Can anyone help me to know which card to buy?

Regards, Rui Azevedo

Here is a list of what will work:-

In my Mac Pro days liked the ATI Radeon cards, 5770 will work fine. Next choice would be a 4870HD flashed 1GB card. Don't know about the 100 euroes mark though. From the list do not go backwards to the 7300 or 8800GTs.

Going to need a much bigger budget.

Great. Purchased one from an eBay seller in Hong Kong and never missed a beat. They start life as a 1GB PC gfx card and are flashed to work in Macs. Only 17.5 Euros over the budget too!
