EVGA rolls out GeForce GTX 285 graphics card for Mac Pros

$450 isnt a bad price.... Until you consider that the standard PC version runs $300. I'm tempted tho! This would smolke what I have in there now and all those 'cores' would rock for snow leopard!

Re: Ubergoober video card for Mac Pro

Oh, Sam, why do you make me spend money?

I'll think about this towards year's end. Most likely I will
jump on it. Right now I am gearing up to buy a new 15" MBP.

VERY Quiet.  Surprising but much appreciated.  I LOOOOOOOVE how quiet my Mac Pro is.  Didn't want to give that up to get a juiced video card, glad I wouldn't have to if I went this route.
Buggy Drivers.
Questionable Value.
Super Easy installation.  Install the drivers BEFORE the card tho!

I'll continue to wait till Snow Leopard actually ships.
