YES IT WILL WORK, (As of right now on Snow Leopard 10.8.2) *See Nos2K's post. Got myself an account to give my 2 cents. Hope this info brings some of you a happy weekend :) In any regards, this is one mean motherf. This im thinking can be rectified by simply hooking up that external PSU to a USB powered source, so when your computer shuts off, or goes into hibernation, the external PSU will too and power down the card.Īlternative is simple pull the plug on the PSU, and let your mac/win never go to sleep, but always stay awake until you actually turn it off. This to me is a small obstacle since i can restart in mac from windows, and vice versa, so no biggie.Ģ) If you shut off your computer, OR let it go into hibernation, the card will spin up the fans to full power, since it no longer has power to control the fans.

But i cant figure out how to see the actual normal bootscreen or the loading menu.

Mac OSX works fine and even identifies the card correctly.ġ) Boot up of your mac the screen is blank/not registered screen turns on at login screen for mac ( just before actually ) and while loading windows 7. Playing BF3 at ultra settings in 2560x1400 on bootcamp windows 7, at 100+ fps without any problems whatsoever. I bought a silent coolermaster 700 W, - made the short circuit on the cable (google it) to make the PSU stay on even while not connected to a motherboard - i then took the wires (2x 8 pin) from the PSU, and let them go inside the back of the Mac Pro, through an open slot - hooked them up to the GTX 690 and voila. What worked for me, and what actually is a good solution in my mind is an external power supply. It WILL work with 6 to 8 pin cable converters, but i wont advise it, in the end you can end up frying your machine. Hey guys, - just signed up to this forum to let you all know the Geforce GTX 690 DOES work in a Mac Pro 12 core.

If I'm wrong, let me know because apple drivers and a waterblock are all I'm waiting on to get a GTX 690 -)
#OVERCLOCK MAC PRO 3.1 UNDER BOOTCAMP UPDATE#
A GTX 690 is essentially an SLI setup on one pcb so unless there's been an update I'm unaware of, you may be barking up the wrong tree.
#OVERCLOCK MAC PRO 3.1 UNDER BOOTCAMP DRIVER#
I've read about driver issues with SLI setups on mac but without using the SLI cable to join them, OS X can use both cards fine (don't quote me on that, I only use 1 card). The 690 says 4GB but I think only 2GB is truly available vram. I've also seen where people said that they had performance gains after upgrading to a 3GB card from a 1.5 GB card. It plays great with OS X Lion 10.7.4 I won't go into the details because they are over my head but if I understand some of the general reading I've done, the compute performance of the GTX 580 is higher than the GK104 based 680 which is engineered for gaming performance I'm guessing two GTX 580s should be better than a GTX 690 and given that you can pick up a single GTX 580 for $350 on ebay ($450 for 3GB Classified version), it would still be cheaper. I use a 3GB GTX 580 Classified Hydro Copper in my Hackintosh and the cuda drivers as well as the regular drivers are available from the Nvidia website and the opencl drivers can be enabled using the multibeast tool from the website. I'm a big Apple fan and I prefer their products for everything but my "play" computer. Sounds like $100 extra per card to make it EFI compatible for now. It is more like a desert with no refreshment.ĭreaming is free but $1000 + and waiting for support, where and how to put that 450W PSU in. Most people are happy to be able to use a GTX 570 and the improvements and potential it shows.
Very likely given past refreshes and OS X support that OS X support which also takes months and a couple updates, looking at Mountain Lion and fall for "full" support for anything new. The fact that potential Mac Pro buyers are sitting on pins and needles as it has been nearly two years since a product refresh (waiting for ES-2600? new GTX? ) and of course a new motherboard + daughter card. 3 yrs ago, came out at the end of 10.5.7 and the 2009 Mac Pro but really wasn't until 10.6.x to get the support needed.
But a lot has happened since the GTX 285. Same for any GTX 690 (hard to write a driver) and the hurdle of using and getting some 8-pin cables and PSU. In DP1 it didn't exist.Ħ80 code wouldn't show up in 10.7.4 at this point since it's almost ready to be released. While the cards don't work yet, I have some REALLY good news for Nvidia fans.ġ0.7.3 "special" drivers from Nvidia brought out "self initing" for non EFI cards and 10.7.4 update "breaks" this, ML DP2 adds it to 10.8.
