While NVIDIA is currently in (figurative) hot water with developers and gamers for an utter lack of WHQL Vista drivers for the G80, they are working on something for the rest of the industry. Mac OS X has for a long time been disadvantaged with a lack of Direct3D games.
GPU Emulator for CUDA programming without the hardware. Ubuntu 16.04, with: NVIDIA K80 GPU and/or NVIDIA K520 GPU (via aws); Mac Book Pro 4th. I'm installing CUDA on MAC OS X by following the link below: It says that I must have.
NVIDIA recently announced that they will work with Trans Gaming to develop very fast (and very supportive)Direct3D emulators for Mac OS X. NVIDIA's CgFX API engine, as well as their shader libraries of known developers, will compliment Trans Gaming's Cider very nicely. This means that as NVIDIA and Trans Gaming really get something out in the public, they will allow Mac users to play modern games.

No wonder my PC smokes my school's Mac Pro's in every program I've tried. Apple just needs to bite the bullet and scrap their OS. They are a good Music Device company, and a good Case Designing company. But that's it.
Ummm, you can order a MacPro with an X1900XT 512MB. And there is absolutely no reason for them to scrap their os, it's a good os. Posted on Feb 9th 2007, 8:06.

AFAIK no SLI/Crossfire support, sure it will run Windows, but at what performance hit. If i was going to drop down the $$ for a Mac Pro, Id much rather build a monster C2Q on a nForce 680i with a pair of 8800s in it. You're absolutely right:cool: BUT, the ppl who already have macs would get gr8 benifits from it, just think about that:) Posted on Feb 9th 2007, 13:56.

There'd be no performance hit in Windows compared to a PC with the same components. The new Macs run Windows natively with Bootcamp. It's not a vm program, it actually boots into Windows. But, admittedly, there are more component choices with a PC, so you would have the option of running a dual card setup for games, given the right component choices. This is still great news to those of us that need a Mac for some of our tasks. Posted on Feb 10th 2007, 7:32.
