Here for sale is an nVidia Quadro 4000 2GB Graphics Card that has been flashed with the latest firmware and is compatible in models of Mac Pro from 2008-2012.
These cards display full EFI boot screens allowing changing of the boot drive if needed:
Complete with the card you'll get the necessary 6 pin power cable that plugs into the Mac's Logic Board to provide power.
Please note the centre DisplayPort is not active. As per the official version the left side DisplayPort and DVI are fully working.
Please also note that 3D stereo bracket is not included.
These are awesome cards for the Mac Pro and also work very well in BootCamp :)
I will ship this well packaged via courier for free if you are UK Mainland based!
