Nice find Lou!
Question: is it possible to have a Geforce 9x0 card and a 10x0 on the same machine? Do you need to install both drivers for that? Or does the 10x0 driver know how to drive older cards?

Saw your post at Netkas. For some reason your card isn't being recognized. As was asked above, is there a power connector on your card? If it's this card:
there is a six pin power connector on it.

Yes ...the card is powered...and it's this one :
Zotac GTX 1060 3gb AMP! Edition

Yes... i have 2 cables plugged... i'm using a 8800GT (6pin pcie)
... it's not this the problem I'm considering getting a 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 as a spare Mac, but I'm on a budget and I'm wondering if any of the GT 730 or GT 710 cards are supported in El Capitan (with the latest compatible Web Drivers for El Cap.)?

@pugdude1321 ,
GT220, 210, 730, 710, 630 etc all work in El Capitan with native Apple drivers, but performance should be a tad better with web drivers.
If on the budget, you should also consider HD5770 (maybe HD6850 too) as good performer - but they require one power cable and this is nVidia thread...

Apologies for treading over old ground that is probably already covered in this thread. I did try and read my way through it to find my answer but I was starting to get more confused.
Basically I'm looking for advice on the best new graphics card to get for my Mac Pro 4,1. (Running El Capitan but I'm guessing I could upgrade to Sierra if needed).
I'm looking for compatibility and best performance for both After Effects CC 2017 and Cinema 4D (R16 but hoping to upgrade from there soon).
Any help would be massively appreciated, thanks.

Hello. Im sorry if this question was solved above. I cant find answer on the surface of internet.
recently i bought open box MSI 1080ti Gaming X which i wanted to put inside Sonnet egfx breakaway box 550 but few weeks ago realised that 550watt modification they will start selling at the end of november. So im in desperate mood now.
Power consumption of this card is less than 300watt on a peak. Manufacturer says it needs to be 600watt recommended.
for more info:
my needs in work with Nuke, Scratch, Davinci, Fusion, After Effects, Photoshop, Final cut
My system is mac pro 6.1 12core d500
I wonder will it have enough power if i connect it somehow?
eGFX Breakaway Box
eGFX Breakaway Box 550

Pretty sure those recommendations are for total system power, i.e. so that it's enough to drive the CPU and all other components. If it's just in an eGPU enclosure, sounds like it'll be fine. You even listed "supports up to 300W card" from the eGPU enclosure specs.
Will a GT120 work in a 3,1? That's probably the cheapest boot screen card you can get. What do you need to do with it?
thanks for replying
is there anything else thats newer and has more punch ie GT 710?
