I'm not certain but didn't Apple add support for most 'pc' gpus ages ago? At the very least look at the nvidia web drivers it replaces the built in OS X driver and don't forget to install cuda! I literally did a freelance job this week where the tech hadn't installed cuda it was on a smoke so didn't make much difference until you run a spark I cut down the render times of a large batch by 3 minutes (about 75% of the time).

Did some quick research. Things are more complicated with PC Titan cards than the GTX 680...looks like you would need to bust out a soldering iron and put on a new chip. Probably best to leave it to the pros.For what its worth, here is how I flashed a PC Nvidia GTX680 to be a Mac card.Apologies if this hackery is not appropriate for this forum.On Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 7:03 PM, bigfish@pacbell.net [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:I recall flashing things like Atto card etc... I can remember in CMX class they mentioned "Blowing the Proms" which was always a fun thing to say. Where does one find the flash file and flasher software for a TitanX graphic card. I will have to re educate myself on the EFI etc...
Now I've ordered 2 TitanX cards as per Mikes suggestion. With my current Mac Enabled GTX-680 in the MacPro chassis I really don't need to flash the new TitanXs if they will live in the expansion chassis. Would it be more effective to Mac enable one of the TitanXs and put it in the MacPro Chassis and move the GTX-680 to the expansion chassis?

Very simple process, but, by all means spend the flashing fee if you are not comfortable doing it yourself.On Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 8:59 AM -0800, "'Dom Q. Silverio' domqsilverio@...

This looks good. I've checked with B&H about the TitanX but they tell me their Asues and EVGA models aren't Mac Compatible. When I purchased my GTX-680 I got the Mac Edition from EVGA so I still get the startup screen etc... Given I am going to keep my GTX-680 in the MacPro Chassis I would assume that it would still be driving the computer monitors and I would be okay putting the PC version TitanX cards in the expansion chassis to be used for extra horsepower in Resolve etc...
Does that make sense or is B&H not aware that there are TitanX cards that have the necessary Mac kernel or boot info to show a startup screen etc...

It's got two titans in it and I get solid performance - it's been hammered but keeps on ticking.
Only thing I did was swap the fans for silent ones - the ones it came with sounded like a plane taking off.
