Installing nVidia 960 GTX in Mac Pro

Hey guys, I just bought this bad boy from eBay to upgrade the graphics card in my DAW. The card came with a 6-pin PCIe to dual Molex 3-pin power cable, but my tower doesn't have Molex connectors, it has mini 6-pin connectors. Am I right in thinking I can just get a 6-pin PCIe to 6-pin mini-PCIe cable and it'll work?

Here's my concern:

If you look at the 6-pin to 6-pin cable, you can see that all six holes have a metal piece in them. However, on the 6-pin to molex Y cable, only 5 of the 6-pin cables actually have a metal piece in them; one of the middle pinholes is empty, and two of the wires are connected to one pin.

Here's the PCIe to PCIe

And here's the PCIe to Molex.

Found your problem.

stop being poor

Yes, it would work. with the 6 pin to 6 pin mini-PCIe.
Just remember to flash your card to get the boot screen.

the red wire in a molex plus is for 5 volts you moron, there's no need for it to be connected.

typical mac user.

What's wrong with that?
He doesn't want to do "muh gaymen" with it.

You could try, but statistically 3.5 out of 4 times it doesn't work.

I fail to see the issue with that, lad.

What the fuck are you talking about, retard?

MACFAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH

Use a real DAW or go home brainlet

Mini-PCIe 6Pin to PCIe 6-Pin is your best bet.
I would find a cheap seller and grab 2. just in case you upgrade in the future.

I went to ebay and grabbed a fried GPU from a macpro, just to take the cables, since the fried card was so cheap.
Use my old 1.1 as a game server.

I guess he might have got a 960 to support 3-4 monitors or some thing and newer plug support.

I got lucky then. I can use a Radeon 5770 on a MacPro 1,1 with one of those cables (currently on Windows 10 with a GTX1050Ti)
