I purchased this card as it requires no additional power other than the PCIe slot its plugged into as well as the fact that its an 'Official Apple Graphics Card' and therefore has the EFI firmware that allows for the Mac boot screen... thereby allowing me to install a more powerful 'non-mac' nVidia card that offers the features I require for the software I run. A great addition to my Mac Pro rig!

This is what it is, a 7+ year old custom Apple made Nvidia GT120 that was low-end when it was new. For my purposes, which was to have this connected to VGA (via miniDP) for accessing the EFI while my main GPU (Sapphire 380x) served as the dual monitors, this doesn't work. Mojave doesn't allow this card AND another card... The Mac will fail to load the OS. I can get this to boot Mojave without display drivers using only this card, but isn't capable of doing anything other than loading the desktop and maybe web surfing (did not test that). 2 stars because as someone new to the Apple world, I didn't quite know I couldn't do what I wanted with this and for what it can do, it doesn't do it well.

The GeForce GT 120 works great in a 2008-2012 Mac Pro as a secondary card for EFI screens or booting after an OS update with a PC/BIOS card as main, adding a couple extra displays, or old versions of MacOS back to Leopard. Cheap single-height Mac-native card and powered off the PCI slot, absolutely perfect for secondary use. However, I would not recommend it as a main graphics card for a newer version of MacOS. Only 512 MB VRAM and performance is lacking compared to newer cards. Get at least a Radeon HD 7950 or GeForce GTX 680 instead. I have a GeForce GTX 970 with PC/BIOS firmware as the main card in my 2010 Mac Pro, works fine with the proper kexts installed in MacOS.

In this day of bolder, faster, louder it's not always the best choice. It's back to basics and keeping a cool head vs. running wild and crazy and blowing off steam and generating excess heat. The GT 120 is a power miser and stiil an admirable performer. It plays nice with Apple bios and if you want a heads up when you boot up it is a must. A soild work horse in a day of cards all tweeked out and soon burnt out, but for what. Stick with a known performer the GT 120. You will thank me later... Went through 3 others before going back to basics on a MacPRO rebuild.

Good, but this card could be better for the standard card in a $2000 computer... I have the NVidia GTX 285, but it can only support 2 displays so I got this to support a third display. The thing that isn't good about this setup is that the cards need to speak to each other when displaying graphics, and they don't do a very good job at doing this. The displays can get glitchy from not communicating properly, and it's bad that Mac doesn't support SLI... If I were to do this over I would get a single card that could support three displays natively, and not two separate ones. If this is your only card, it will work for everything but gaming and 3D rendering.
I use this simply to run my dual monitors which frees up the 980Ti to handle all the heavy lifting necessary in the Adobe suite. It's great because it's small and doesn't require secondary power. As an assistant GPU it's the perfect solution.

I used this to enable El Capitan to be loaded on my Xserve 2,2. It was easy to install.

It's a great product. I was looking for a way to hook up my old 2008 quad core Mac Pro desktop with a full size DVI port, which I love, to an apple cinema display (24") with a mini DVI port. It solved my problem without having to spend too much money. It should also work with 27"and 30" cinema displays, not too sure. There were other solutions to my problem but I think this was the most economical.
everything is working. there are signs of repair on the food chain
