Rickstur Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Nice how about any kind of videocard ? That would really be nice!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24062-mac-pro-deconstruction/page/2/#findComment-165459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
INFNITE Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 from what I've read, installing a separate video card results in Mac OS X not seeing the card while XP under Boot Camp will load the card just fine. According to an Apple engineer, this is a firmware issue due to the Mac Pro using EFI instead of BIOS.

INFNITE Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 doesn't the stock video card driver from nVidia work in Boot Camp for Mac Pro's? Also, Apple can always release updated video card drivers for Boot Camp or they could ask ATI (AMD) and nVidia to publish special Boot Camp versions of their drivers. Also, most people running Boot Camp will only use it for an occasional game or Windows only application, so having outdated driver won't be as much of an issue.
