My mid 2010 Mac Pro is still in use and I can't justify spending another $7-$10K on a beefed up 2015 Mac Pro model when the 2010 can.
Going thru your local Apple store for 2 reasons: their policy is to replace like with like, and you will pay their prices, and they may not be that familiar with Mac pro’s. It’s simple enough to change graphics cards from the fried one to the good one.this card I know works with Yosemite and older Mac pro’s( Mac Pro 2,1-maybe macpro 1,1-but slower-but it works). You should be able to run El Capitan if you want now-if you buy this card, a word of caution: it has a 2 position switch on it-should you want to install high sierra on your Mac Pro with this card, the switch has to be in the opposite position.not important to you, at least not yet John B. Yup-you’re right.
The gtx 1050 should be okay too. However I dunno if it has Yosemite drivers.maybe it does.
You can also try the R9 series of cards.if u do just get the generic ones.should work in sierra. If unsure maybe check out xlr8yourmac.com. Tonymacx might be okay too.
Apple hasn’t put out a graphics card on its own for at least 7 years, at least none that you or I could buy, so we’re kinda on our own, but with help from here and there we can make it work. Thx for your feedback John b. I read that there are problems with the Non-Mac Nvidia graphics. When the computer goes to sleep the card flickers and sometimes will not start back up after sleep mode.
The Non-mac AMD card are suppose to be more reliable however you get no boot screen. AMD R9-280 AMD RX-580 AMD RX-480 These work out of the box vanilla however you get no boot screen. You can use two graphics cards in your Mac Pro. Use a Mac compatible graphics card with your primary boot display and use the NEW graphics card with your high end display.
Dual displays. Or you can use a Display with dual connections and simply switch between display ports for access to the boot screen. Apple Footer.
