Quadro 4000 Drivers Include Support for Other Fermi Cards. GTX 480 Steps Forward. #nvidia #mac

A few days back, we shared the good news of the Nvidia Quadro 4000 workstation graphics card coming to Mac desktops. As it stands now, that release was even better than originally thought. An eagle-eyed reader of xlr8yourmac found some rather tantalizing information buried deep within the Quadro 4000′s drivers. Specifically, the reader highlighted above used an ATY_Init injector developed by Netkas.org to force his Mac’s EFI to recognize his freshly installed GTX 480. That’s significant because Apple doesn’t officially support the GTX 480. WIth that said, it would be pretty sweet to get a GTX 580 or two humming along inside of a Mac Pro, no?

WIth the right hardware, gaming on the Mac could actually be quite potent.
