Is this still the best card to get for a 2013 (i.e. last of the towers) Mac Pro, for someone who plays games both in OSX and Windows?

Hi! Yes, this is the best AMD card out there. There is a similarly spec'd nVidia card available if you prefer that vendor but this card is practically plug and play. The drivers are already on your machine. I use this card for games in both OSX and Windows as well.

It's good for video editing and photo editing, it's not the highest quality card though. Great for everyday use though.

I have a 2013 Mac Pro 12 core machine and the Radeon card works for me. I am not a gamer though so I cannot comment on performance in games. The only choices for a higher end video card I am aware of are the 7950 and the NVidia card (don't remember the model). I had compatiblity issues with the NVidia card and the Radeon worked right out of the box.

Works Great for OSX but not so great in windows.... Still better in Windows than other cards....

I'm not sure if it's the best one you can get but it's very powerful. You should have a large monitor or flatscreen for it because the resolution is insane. Never used it on Windows but it says it can run both, has all the drivers and also a little switch on the side to switch between Mac and PC. I have this in a 2012 MacPro Tower.

I have this card and it's great. It's a little loud, but it can play all games at max settings with a good frame rate. The nvidia 680 is a bit more powerful, but may not be supported by an apple display. Also it is more expensive.

I've not tested it on games, but we use it for 3D rendering in a graphics company and it never fails us.

I'm looking to purchase an airport card for a 1,1 mac pro as well...were you able to find one that works with your model?

I never used a Mac, but if your mac has a PCI-E slot, I think it will work. Maybe you can find some video cards compatibility guide for your Mac Pro.

Yes. I have 2 and they are both running on my New Mac Pro. It all depsnds upon your computer video card(s)

I don't know. I have it installed on a MacPro (Intel). I would think it is a function of two questions: 1) is your PowerPC expansion bus compatible with the card, 2) Is there driver software for the card built in to the highest version of OSX that runs on your machine or available from the card manufacturer. Sorry, this is the best I can do.

This card barely fits in my full ATX tower, i dont think it will fit in your mac.

There is a Mac version, but I run PC. In my experience with Windows 8, the PC version still works; therefore, I can only imagine that the Mac version would work with 10.9.5. Regarding a video card, I am unfamiliar with MAC so I cannot help with that. Sorry. Good luck. I hope it works for you. The game is a lot of fun.

I use that card for wow and never had much trouble from it at all. It's a very good card if you can catch it on sale or refurbished as I did some time ago. I also play many other games on it like Warframe, Heroes of the Storm, Smite, many others.

I agree with previous answerer. This is a real nice card but you need to check compatibilities to be sure. Also, this card is especially large physically, so be sure you have enough space in whatever you put it in past any other cards or slots you have installed other upgrades in or are utilizing from your MAC.

I don't think so, it seems to be a windows version. I installed this one on my early 2008 mac pro and it worked perfectly but I think it need Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Those OS's have drivers built in of which OSX 10.7 doesn't. This is the one I got and it work great http://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Superspeed-Ports-PCI-E-Expansion/dp/B00B6ZCNGM/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i

Not if you really want to enjoy all the features. Runs great on 27 in iMac 2013 with all graphics turned up. In case you're thinking of upgrading.

I installed on my Mac Pro 2010 running the same OS and it works great. Not even need to install any drivers. If you have the right slot connector, it shouldn't be a problem.

Inputs? This card only has HDMI & SDI Inputs. The pro version has Input & Outputs.. if you have another question please ask i use this card on Mac OS Mavericks..

No. You can't swap out the graphics card from your Mac model.Get a Windows PC if you want to actually control what goes in your system... better yet, build one.

I have a MacPro mid 2010 and the card works fine. I don't have information on any other Mac Pro's.

It seems not. Only graphic cards with specific Apple firmware are compatible with Macs. The best source I have found for that matter is barefeats.com/york2.html.
