..for my early 2008 edition Mac Pro, and I'm looking to do a little gaming. How does this thing compare to the 8800 card? I know workstation cards aren't usually ideal for gaming, but given that all the games are available for Macs are OpenGL-based, should it run just fine?
My specs are..(currently)
2x 3.2GHz Quad-Core Xeon 'Harpertown' Processors
2GB (2x 1GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM)
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB
1x WD 320GB 7200rpm HDD
1x Seagate 250GB 7200rpm HDD
16x Double-layer SuperDrive
23' Apple Cinema Display- 16ms, 1920x1200, 400:1
Right now I can play games comfortably on medium settings, but I'd like to really flex the muscles of this machine. I also have a copy of Windows Vista, and I'd love to see Crysis run maxed out at full resolution.
Thanks

I have a Mac Pro Early 2008 (3,1) 2x2,8 quad core cpu. It came with two ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB graphic cards installed. Now i bought a Nvidia Quadro FX 5600 1,5 gb. To install this, have i to remove the two ATI or just one of these? Which slot pci-e should i use?
