Hi. I have a Mac pro 2.1 that's missing the original GPU that came with it and I guess I want to know my options to get it working but where I'm from theres no market really to obtain older graphic cards, only newer cards so I bought a gigabyte rtx but I know from the research I've done so far that it won't work but would it boot windows if I installed via bootcamp?
Got a tip for us?

1. You don't need Bootcamp to install Windows.
2. Report your result with the RTX card, it's interesting.
I highly doubt that an RTX card would even post on a 2,1. I know that the 4,1 and 5,1's can boot an RTX 20x0 card in Windows and Linux but not a 30 series.
I've seen Maxwell and Pascal cards running (GTX 900 and 1000).

All of them would work to some degree, however I would strongly suggest the GT 630.
