Video card for lion?

[Anonymous]

I recently bought a mac pro and a nvidia quadro 4000 video card, hoping to get faster anti aliasing than with my mac book pro that only has a GeForce GT 330M video card.

But I can´t find a driver that works with Lion.

Anybody that know a solution?

Whats the best video card for alias on Mac pro with Lion?

Hello,

there is no Specific Drivers for the mac and you should follow our qualified chart.The driver that gets installed with the OS is the one that will work

The Mac pro can not start with the quadro card withought any spcific driver installed.

Starting with the latest driver from nvidia, the one for snowLeopard 10.6.8, getts me started but preformance is the same as with the ATI Radeon HD 5770 card that comes with the computer.

I am thinking quadro 4000 card must be faster than that with the right driver installed!?

Hello kristoffer,

I would agree the performance should be better than with standard graphic card. Have you managed to install the driver for the Nvidia card?

Let me know if you need further assistance and I will see what I can do for you.

kind regards

Yes I installed withought problem the latest driver from Nvidia (the one for SnowLeopard)

but the preformance is no better than with the standard videocard.

The Cuda maneger says that a new driver is requierd, but in the same time it say´s that there is no later driver available.
