Instructions for flashing a GTX680 are here.(Do this at your own risk, as it will void your warranty!) To access these features, you will need to flash the GPU with a custom Apple ROM from a windows machine. Note, if the GPU is meant for PC (rather than a rare made-for-mac version), then it will work out-of-the-box on your Mac, but you won't be able to see boot screens (if you want to run bootcamp), single user or verbose mode. A tried and tested option for upgrading the GPU (if you can still find one) is the EVGA Geforce GTX 680 with 2GB (or 4GB) DDR5 VRAM which offers considerable performance improvements.The MacPro4,1 factory GPU is a Nvidia GeForce GT 120 with 512MB GDDR3 RAM.If you don't plan to keep them installed internally, your old 3.5-inch HDD's can be housed in this 3.5-inch HDD enclosure.
