Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have been running Maxwell for FormZ on an older Mac Pro, 2009. Would like to install a GPU card, but I can't figure out what is compatible with this Mac. I'm running OS 10.13.6. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
Dave

Here you can find an old tech link with some aftermarket compatible list of GPUs you could try.

If i find something more specific i will upgrade the reply.
Good luck with your upgrade.
ps: remember Maxwell Render use CUDA cores for GPU RENDERING, so is better stick to Nvidia.

Thanks for the response! I did stumble on that site, and found an Nvidia Geforce GTX Titan. Hopefully it will work.....Surprising how many different boards there are, and how few are compatible.
