To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question. My Radeon card fried a few days ago. I was cor what 2 to 3 gig card might be good for a mid MacPro 8 core, 32 gig ram, Yosemite OS. I might upgrade to Sierra so looking for a card that can handle yosemite on up and good specs. I guess I need drivers? I am not very knowledgeable on cards as you can tell. There are so many.

They only display when osx and grafic driver are loaded completely. In general, you dont need these screens, but in the case of problems it is very needfull you can see them. My gtx ti came with an adapter cable 6 pin motherboard to 8 pin grafic card. Both power cables must be attached. Feb 2, PM.

If you use Apple software then AMD video cards are the better choice, if you use Adobe software then Nvidia cards are better. You can use newer cards in Windows via Boot Camp, to do this you need first to install Windows using an older video card that Apple's Boot Camp drivers support.

After than you should be able to swap over to the newer card, let Windows boot and auto-detect the new card and auto-download the new drivers, you will not see anything on the screen until Windows has booted since the Mac side will not support the card. If your requirement was with a view to doing Virtual Reality, none of the virtual reality headsets support any model of Mac at least in Mac OS X despite the fact that in theory some models of Mac might be fast enough.

This may change in the future but this along with gaming is an area the Mac is very poor at due to Apple's 2001 to keep Mac fkr up-to-date especially with regards to video cards. Apr 3, AM.
