Re: [Avid-L2] The New MacPro

Yes but if the OS X Maverick supports Mac Pro 2008 and newer, then Apple
will need to provide drivers for previously approved cards. And
after-market card from Nvidia where also released for the current Mac
Pros, I assumed with Apple blessing since Nvidia released newer drivers
independent from OS X updates (K5000, GTX 680, etc). And within these
driver packages, other non official Apple cards where supported. This is
why you can install pretty much any NVidia card and will get full GPU
functionality.
