Personally I put in a 2006 which I then upgraded to Lion with no problem. I have read that there is no problem with the 2008 Pro's either, but I have no direct experience. The 5770 brings the machine's responsiveness with complex websites and graphics up to modern specs. So I would say" "Go ahead and get it."

I installed it into my 2006 MacPro and it works great. From what I have read online it looks as though this card should also work on the 2008 MacPro.

Perfectly. I am running two 23" monitors with hdmi to mini display port cables and it is excellent.

It appears that it may. Please review the postings at this Apple link. http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MC742ZM/A/will-early-2008-mac-pro-owners-be-able-to-use-the-ati-radeon-hd-5770/QDDDH2T2JF44XHHAD

Yes, I am running this card (ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB) in a Mac Pro Early 2008 with 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor, after earlier card became erratic in terms of displaying anything on monitors.

Yes. I have it installed and working in mine for about 2 years now. This doesn't have the dual dvi ports like the stock version the Early 2008 Mac Pro's came with. So you are limited to one screen unless you have a splitter.

I am running it in an early 2008 Mac Pro without any problems. It just booted right up!
