Good to know, i was looking for a replacement. which is easier to manage than it sounds), and it posted OpenCL benchmark scores to rival the new Mac Pros (these cards run at a higher frequency), but I use so few things that take advantage of OpenCL that I moved the extra one to the Windows box I keep around for when I need it. I actually had two of these installed at one point for the lols (connected to an external PSU. I didn't flash it so I don't get the boot screen, but I don't really miss it. Reading from the box in my hand, it has the oh-so-catchy-and-memorable name: Radeon R9 280X DirectCU II TOP Have you flashed it, and if so, which precise model did you get? I'm considering this card for my old Mac Pro. You will want to delete the following (prevailing notion is that they're buggy) files to get best performance: I power it combining the little 6-pin PCI power connectors and a molex adapter from the optical bay. My drive had an EFI boot partition and a small (40GB) OSX partition. It's pretty much the same thing as the D700 offered with the current Mac Pro but with less VRAM. This is to update my progress in getting a stable Ubuntu Jaunty amd64 desktop on a dual processor, nehalem based MacPro(20091.1): INSTALLATION: 1) I installed on a second drive using the Jaunty (9.x) amd64 desktop CD. I can testify that the Asus R9 280X 3GB works great in mine.
