    Works on Mac Pro Tower 2012 12 core
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 November 2015*

I bought this card for my 2012 Mac Pro tower.It doesn't indicate on the webpage it works on macs so I bought it on the off chance it would work but with no startup apple logo.Once it got to the desktop it would load the Radeon drivers which are built in to 10.11 El Capitan.I'm using the hdmi port plugged into a new 4K Sony 49" TV, I can get the top resolution on this card at 30Hz.Next step down is 1080p at 60Hz, which makes everything too small.Next step for me is to try and find the resolution between the two, 1600 x 1200 perhaps.4 k picture is great, the text wasn't wasn't clear at first, very fuzzy but with some adjustment on the tv menu I managed to get it looking as clear as possible.When using 4K resolution because of the Hz speed you will notice the mouse lags a little.All in all it works on my Mac Pro, not too fussed about the seeing the logo on startup as long as it's stable.

    Excellent future proofing
  

*by C***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2012*

Great bit of kit if a little overpriced on initial release, ideal for multimonitor set up and the 3GB of VRAM will keep this bad boy going for years to come. Get one now! (Fit's inside a Fractal Design Refine R3 no problems)The card is near silent in my case and cannot be heard over the case fans even when under load.BF3/Skyrim/SwtoR all play at max.
