2008 Mac Pro and El Capitan


i run 2 labs 2008 mac pros. keep things humming along fcpx, added 16 gb of ram , additional 2 gb nvidia geforce gt640 card complement stock 512 mb card in each machine. worked great through mavericks.

when updated yosemite, mac pros went boot loop. machines unusable. read there problem systems had more 1 video card installed. took out original video card. interestingly, half mac pros ran fine , other half stayed in boot loop.

removed new nvidia cards, keeping stock ones instead, upgraded el capitan , things running fine. fcpx isn't running fast, @ least computers stable. have no idea apple did updates since mavericks cause computers freak out non-apple video cards. sort of defeats whole point of having machine lots of expandability.

has found sizable video cards work old mac pros , el capitan?
 

looking at wikipedia, there 5(!) different revisions of gt 640 available.
guess apple threw unused (-> not used apple) chipsets out of system, , guess can enable cards again installing nvidia webdrivers.

boot loop quite common sign stock nvidia driver has encountered nvidia device doesn't know (instead of refusing load, amd drivers do, decides crash whole system).
