....YES it does.
The whole reason this works is that you are taking an card manufactured to Nvidia's specs and replacing the ROM on it with one that goes on an Apple manufactured Nvidia card. As far as the OS and Mac are concerned at that point, its an Apple Nvidia card. This is a pretty old, tested thing to do. People on XLR8yourmac have been doing it for a year and a half, pretty much since Apple first switched from ATI to Nvidia for their video cards. In fact, Visiontek is the company that makes the cards for Apple. The only way they would stop working is if Apple decided to switch video card chipsets (back to ATI or to Matrox or someone as yet unknown) and no longer support their own older cards. Considering they still support ATI Rage Pros and will continue to do so (even though Quartz Extreme will not work, you can still use your card), I seriously doubt any situation as described above would happen. The PC and Mac ATI/Nvidia cards are using exactly the same chipset and are manufactured pretty much the same way with only minor differences (fan/heatsink, SDRAM/DDR, DVI or no) so the only thing that makes them different is the software used to run it and the firmware on the ROM chip. |
