yes, Product DescriptionThe Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 MAC Edition 3GB DDR5 HDMI/DVI-I/Dual Mini DP PCI-Express Graphics Card is compatible with Mac Pro 2010 or later (with available PCI-E x 16 slot) systems running Mac OS X® 10.7.5(Lion) / 10.8.2(Mountain Lion) or later.

I did. It works great. Mac Pro 3,1 is Mac Pro (early 2008), mine is a dual 2.8GHz quad core with 32GB of RAM.

From doing a Lookup on the specs of the Mac pro Early 2009 version it says The Graphics Card is a 2.0 pci-e and this is a 3.0 pci-e Card, so you're wondering if the Card will work. The Answer is yes it should work without a problem, the only issue might be if you have enough space in your Case for the Card, I wouldn't know since I don't have a Mac! Good luck with your Build Though.

That's a question you should put directly to EVGA. If your Mac uses 8800GTX's, I'd say yes. But, why take a chance.

Mine runs a Radeon 7970 6gb and this card on a 650w gold certified psu without issue. Can't speak to running it solo, though.

yes, but first delete the drivers on the Radeon card and then shut it down and remove the card and install the new one. Should work much better than the Radeon.

I don't think there is such thing called "Mac edition" it's PCI-E if u have that slot then it should work and if it's 16x will work perfectly

Most likely not. The issue is software. The Nvidia bios and Apple bios are NOT compatible. If you install this card (which is great for Windows OS), you may not get any video at all on boot-up. Not to mention this card takes up two card slots of space. I know this card is low cost but I would look for a video card that specifies that it is MAC compatible.

Hi sorry I used this memory on a 2.1 mac pro and it worked fine I don't know about if its comparable with your motherboard.

I have one of these and the graphics card I use requires PCI Express 3.0 so I guess the answer's yes. It's a VisionTek Radeon HD 7750 SFF (Mfr#900549) which I chose because Dell recommended it. You can go to Dell.com and see what they suggest to get an idea of what you can add.

I have only used this card on a PC. If the MacBook Pro is a desktop, it will be able to be installed. The software enclosed is both PC and Mac software, so it is supposed to work. If there is trouble, the help line offers downloads.

I don't think so. Your Mac Pro requires ECC memory DDR2 is my understanding. This misses the mark on all counts. To be sure see this site. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/faq/mac-pro-how-to-upgrade-memory-what-type-ram.html

Yes, Mountain Lion has the drivers to work with a GTX 780. I actually used the card to run a Hackintosh build myself so I can verify that it will definitely work in a native mac environment on Mountain Lion AND Mavericks.

So long as you have a PCI express slot to install it in then it should work fine in a 2008 Mac Pro

I am using this in my Mac Pro currently. You need to make sure your Mac can use this card though.

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.

Not sure - I bought one and installed in my Mac Pro. Start-up screen was as the original video card. However, this replacement card did not look exactly like the original one it replaced.

You should be able to. I run Final Cut Express 4 on a MacPro, OS 10.6.8, with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCI card.
