Hello,
I have a Mid 2010 Mac Pro 5,1. I am about to purchase a GTX 780 SC(http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-384-Bit-Graphics-06G-P4-3787-KR/dp/B00K699CRW). It is a regular model and has not been flashed for the Mac. I have read many forums about weather or not this card is compatible and it seems to be, but what I am questioning is how I should have it wired for power. Currently I have a 7970 hooked up with the Mini-PCIe 6 pin to 6 pin and Mini-PCIe 6 pin to 8 pin adapter. Will hooking up the 780 the same way be ok? I have seen that some people use a adapter to pull power from the optical drive sata connections.
Thanks for any input.

128GB SSD (OS)
2TB HDD
2TB HDD
3TB HDD
Radeon 7970 Graphics Card
