It should work, since it’s just a graphics card. Honestly, give it a shot! If it doesn’t work, you can keep working on fixing it, or just sell the graphics card!

Maybe also try getting something more oomph-ier, if you’re going to be using dedicated graphics.

Good luck!

Unless this card has been flashed for a Mac, it will not work.

It probably will work, just not show the "startup bar" so it would be for a secondary monitor.

If this card was made for PC and has not been flashed for Mac, it will not work!
