Will a 560ti work in a mac (2009)?

[Alexander Lee]

My friend is looking at upgrading his graphics card in his 2009 mac pro (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP506)... Do you think he would be able to use a 2gb msi 560ti in his mac or could there be compatibility issues?

Thanks for your help.

Im going to say no....But check if the Power Supply has an Available 6-Pin and is powerful enough.

Thanks for your post. So do you think if the power supply was powerful enough would it work?

Regular pc one won't work in a proper Mac.

I don't understand.

They have this listed too:

Which goes on to say only Windows OS in the specs. They saying it works in an Apple ? Cos I got some ppc ones that could use something like this.

I'm sure they need a special bios/connectors or something?

TBH he should buy a real computer instead.
