*Mac Pro is designed for pros who need the ultimate in CPU performance. From production rendering to playing hundreds of virtual instruments to simulating an iOS app on multiple devices at once, it’s exceedingly capable. At the heart of the system is an Intel Xeon processor with up to 28 cores — the most ever in a Mac.
I’d occasionally been considering picking up a new video card for my Mac Pro (MacPro1,1) to replace my NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, but the new ones are very expensive. Typically there are ways to flash PC video cards with Mac-compatible (OF or EFI) firmware, but reliable methods and card versions aren’t always the easiest to find. However, last week I was looking into it and all the pieces came into place, with good flashing instructions and firmware available and a relatively cheap, compatible card appearing on eBay.
The Mac Pro is a series of workstations and servers for professionals designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Inc. The Mac Pro, in most configurations and in terms of speed and performance, is the most powerful computer that Apple offers. It is one of four desktop computers in the current Macintosh lineup, sitting above the consumer Mac Mini and iMac, and alongside the all-in-one. Genuine Apple Radeon HD 4870 512MB Video Card for Mac Pro 4,1 2009. $45.00 +$15.00 shipping. Make Offer - Genuine Apple Radeon HD 4870 512MB Video Card for Mac Pro 4.
First, I ordered two power cables from ATI, Power Cable for Radeon® X1900 MAC G5 Edition. These cables allow one to get PCIe6-pin power connectors from the Mac Pro mainboard. Most modern video cards require more power than the slot can provide, so these connectors are generally connected directly to a PC’s power supply to provide the extra needs. As Macs tend not to have extra connectors just hanging around in the case, Apple provided the power connectors right on the main board. These cables thus plug right into the main board (Picture) up near the SATA connectors, then connect right to the back of the video card (Picture).
Next I purchased a Sapphire 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4870 from eBay with a winning bid of $110 (Auction Mirror). This shipped quite quickly, and arrived in great shape with all the original retail box items, which was a pleasant surprise.
After getting the card and the cables, it was time to install it and flash it. To do this I followed Alexandre Boeglin’s article entitled How to flash a PC 4870 for a Mac Pro, using only Mac OS X. I’ll recap the steps that I performed here:
· Acquire the iMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2 and use Pacifist to extract ATIFacelessFlash.app and ATIROMFlasher.kext from it. This will be used as an OS X native ATI video card flasher for doing the firmware update.
· Acquire the appropriate firmware. I used sapp-512-4870.rom from this MacRumors: Forums post. If you don’t have a 512MB Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 you will likely need to find another or make your own firmware image.
· Remove all the .ROM files in ../ATIFacelessFlash.app/Contents/Resources and put your .ROM file in there.
· Ensure that ATIROMFlasher.kext will load. The command sudo kextutil -nt ATIROMFlasher.kext is useful for this, and you’ll likely have to do sudo chown -R root:wheel ATIROMFlasher.kext and sudo chmod -R 644 ATIROMFlasher.kext to get it loading.
· Once the .kext is loading and ATIFacelessFlash.app is prepped, shut off the computer, move your old video card up one slot, and install the new one in Slot 1 as shown in this picture.
· Boot the computer with the monitor connected to your old video card. Load the kernel extension for the flashing (sudo kextload ATIROMFlasher.kext), then run the flash utility: sudo open ATIFacelessFlash.app.
· Shut down your computer, pull the old card, and boot up with the monitor connected to the new one. Everything should work great, and you should now have an ATI Radeon HD 4870 for Mac.
After the flashing is done, System Info showed the following under Graphics/Displays:
ATI Radeon HD 4870:
Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 4870
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
Slot: Slot-1
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x9440
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-B7710C-176
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.318
Now that the upgrade is done I can run Google Earth with all the quality settings turned up. I also did a quick compare with two graphics benchmarks, CINEBENCH and OpenMark. With the old card on CINEBENCH I got a score of 3380, and with the new one 5427. Under OpenMark, which seems to test OpenGL, I went from a score of 8520 to 22579.
Having a fan the new card is slightly louder than I’d like, but I was a bit spoiled before with the old fanless card. I’ll try and investigate a way to quiet this one down, but all things said it is still quite quiet. If it ends up being a bit much I can always sell the card with its Mac firmware upgrade for at least as much as I paid.

FUTURE MAC PRO GPUs:
Radeon HD 4870?
Or GeForce GTX 280?

Updated August 29th, 2008, with Radeon 4870 X2 results
If you are a hard core Mac Pro enthusiast like me, you are looking forward to the next killer Mac -- like the ’Nehalem’ based Mac Pro. But it won’t be much ’fun’ unless Apple (or third parties) offer cutting edge graphics processors (GPUs) like the ATI Radeon HD 4870 and the nVIDIA GeForce GTX 280. Because these GPUs are not (yet) available in a version that runs under Mac OS X, we used Vista Ultimate (Boot Camp partition) to run three 3DMark06 Feature Tests and four 3D accelerated games to test their potential compared to the current crop of available GPUs for the Mac Pro.
Futuremark 3DMark06 is a popular benchmark that shows the potential of graphics cards. Using the Professional Edition, we ran the HDR/SM3 test and two Feature Tests at 2560x1600. First, here’s the results for the HDR/SM3 test:
Then we ran the Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing) test:
Thirdly, we ran the Shader Particles test:
Next we ran four 3D accelerated games.
ID Software ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS (ETQW)
For Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (ETQW) we recorded our own netdemo which includes running/shooting and flying/shooting. We set ’com_unlock_maxfps’ to ’0’ to overcome the 60 FPS limit.
EPIC UNREAL TOURNAMENT III
For the UT3 tests, we used the Suspense Flyby. The Flyby emphasizes GPU speed. Though a Botmatch is more like actual game play, the artificial intelligence varies the actions of Bots from run to run, making it impossible to get a repeatable results.
Activision CALL of DUTY 4: Modern Warfare
We ran a timedemo created by Bryan C. of InsideMacGames with maxFPS set to 500 to overcome the 90 fps default max.
Electronic Arts CRYSIS
We chose the GPU benchmark and HIGH settings.
LEGEND of GRAPHS
R4870 X2 = Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2 100251SR (2GB GDDR5)
GTX 280 = BFGTech GeForce GTX 280 (1GB GDDR3)
R4870 = Diamond Radeon HD 4870 (512MB GDDR5)
R3870 X2 = MSI Radeon HD 3870 X2 (1GB GDDR3; Overclocked)
QFX 5600 = nVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 (Apple CTO)
G8800 GT = nVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (Apple CTO or kit)
R3870 = ATI Radeon HD 3870 Mac & PC Edition (Retail upgrade kit)
Vista 64 Ultimate was running in the Boot Camp partition of a Mac Pro ’Harpertown’ 3.2GHz octo-core with 16GB of RAM.
OUR SUGGESTION TO APPLE FOR FUTURE GPUs
We hope Apple will ’leap frog’ the GeForce GTX 280 and Radeon HD 4870 to offer the Radeon HD 4870 X2 dual processor card with 2GB of GDDR5 as a CTO option on the next generation of Mac Pro. And if they don’t, we hope ATI/AMD will offer it as a retail kit that is compatible with all models of Mac Pro.
One big advantage of the Radeon HD 4870 X2 as a future Mac Pro option is that affords the advantages of CrossFire for both Mac OS X and Windows. If you just have dual Radeon HD 3870s or 4870s with a CrossFire jumper, it only provides a speed boost under Windows.
Whatever Apple chooses next for an optional GPU, we hope it’s an ATI Radeon card. Why? Because ATI has optimized their Mac Edition drivers and firmware for the Radeon 2600 XT and 3870 so that they run Core Image effects much faster than comparable nVidia cards including the GeForce 8800 GT and Quadro FX 5600. Unless there’s a breakthrough on the nVidia side, the ATI Radeon cards will continue to be superior for getting GPU intensive work done on Pro Apps like FCP, Motion, Aperture, etc.
