Can you put any graphics card you want in a Mac Pro as long as its PCI slot? Much contreversory with all my friends wether its possible or not were not sure if its locked down to afew that NVida and ATi have section with mac cards in them. But what about the rest of the cards its a very limited section?

    No, if a card is meant for a PC, and you put it in the Mac, it will either not work at all, or will give you some funky visuals.



    Also, the Mac Pro has PCI Express slots, not PCI.
