New OSes are the only way to get updated video card drivers.
For ATI cards, perhaps. Not so for nVidia ones, at least through 10.6.8 and 10.7.x. It remains to be seen whether nVidia will release new(er) drivers for 10.8.

New OSes are the only way to get updated video card drivers. Still don't really understand why people insist on sticking with older OSes in general. My Lion install feels very much like my SnowLeopard install did, I don't use LaunchPad or any of the other iOS-like elements.
What OS are you using?
10.8 Here's the URL to the official Nvidia CUDA5 release (that says it now supports Mountain Lion)

The Nvidea version 5 driver doesn't say anything about supporting the GTX 680.
I'm really interested to know if the GTX 680 really works in a mac pro. This thread doesn't given me much confidence that GTX 680 fully works.
Hi,
I am new here so sorry for my "don`t knowing" and for my english
I want to buy GTX 670 for my Mac Pro 2010 and I want to ask you...
Do I need 2 power cables or one is enough and I can use one which I will buy with GPU?
I want to buy this one (I am czech so it`s czech):
http://www.alza.cz/zotac-geforce-gtx670-2gb-ddr5-amp-edition-d328554.htm
Will it work? And can I use that cable which is with GPU?
Thanks for reply!
Well...
So I must buy one more... is compatibility between 6 - pin cable for graphics card ATI HD 5770 in Mac Pro? Because in my country are those cables for Mac Pro expensive so...
I need to buy one and as second Can I use that which is in Mac Pro?
Edit: and another question: Need I download some drivers for GTX 670? Because I don`t want to "hack" system, I am really beginner... (e.g. OpenGL, openCL etc.?)
Thanks again!
What's the max wattage of one graphics card you can put in?
Currently I have in 2010 5,1
2.8qc standard
1x SuperDrive
1x ssd in empty SuperDrive bay
4x 3.5 drives (1x raid, 1x1tb and 1x2tb WD green drive)
1x ati 5770 (the base gx card)
16gb ram
So would a 500w 570 or 670 work ok (extra power 6pin required)?
The GTX 670 should work out of the box with Mountain Lion for graphics stuff, I'm not sure about OpenCL (I think it's also fully supported there?).

So a regular 6-PIN PCI-e powercable extender won't work in a Mac Pro, because it's actually not 6-PIN connectors there are present on the motherboard???
Correct. The end that plugs into the GPU is standard; the motherboard side of things has six pins, but is slightly smaller than standard.
My EVGA 670 FTW needed a little bit of tweaking for OpenCL — just this little bit from Netkas.
I did a little pictorial/write-up over at my personal site for anyone interested in a few more benchmarks or whatever. Long story short, from a gamer's perspective the 670 worked fine but was kind of underwhelming, even in Windows.

Even underwhelming compared to your 5870? Try Battlefield 3. I bet it will smoke the 5870.
