What kind of changes do they have to make for it to work in a MAC and cost £140 more? Do normal 680's not work in a MAC?
 
Yeah just seems to be a bios change, the sapphire has the duel bios switch on it so you can use it in a windows machine aswell.
 
Crazy price for a Mac card, when you cant buy a mac pro and even if you could it would be 5 year old tech!


No hackintosh talk. Thank you.
 
If you have a high end mac the extra cost of these cards over a normal wont make any difference to you anyway
 
Why don't NVidia go the whole hog and release the Titan for mac users, at least they are used to paying silly prices.
 
£540 to play CS:S and TF2.

This is probably aimed at people who will be using bootcamp to run DX11 games via Windows (I think there's irony here somewhere).

I used to use my iMacs OSX partition for work and its Windows 7 partition for play like a lot of Mac users (even games that work in OSX are 20-25% faster under bootcamp).
