I picked up a new Macpro and am upgrading the graphics card to a Mac Graphic Card ATI Upgrade (got it on the Mac Store) -- the Mac instructions only show you how to install the card, but there's no disk or instructions for a card driver. I'm new to Macs and will I have to install/download a driver?

Thanks

I never had to install any drivers other than for a printer on my mac. Though I never changed the graphics card I did change the network card and it just knew what I put in it. If you did need drivers I imagine you would be able to get them either from the apple support site or from the ati site.

What card did it have in it prior? Because of the limited cards that OS X supports, I believe they are all already installed. Pop that sucker in, if it doesn't work, call Apple. :)

Exactly what I did - thanks - completely plug and play. Took 5 minutes.
