2010 Mac Pro GTX 1080 SLI

[JDLang76]

I have a 2010 Mac Pro.
I recently got my hands on a GTX 1080 for cheap so I put it in this computer and its working great.
I MIGHT be able to get a matching card from the same system I got his one from.
I'd love to put them both in theMac Pro.
Problem is, I cant find muct info online about this...

Couple of questions..
Can this Mac even use SLI at all?
Will the OS X Web Drivers by Nvidia support SLI or will I limited toWindows?
Does the PSU have enough power to drive them both and if not, what's an aesthetically pleasing power solution?


Thanks!

AFAIK

It is possible to use 1080 SLI on cMP with some software assist.

SLI is Windows only.

The PSU is fine, but most likely you will need Pixlas mod.
