“Owners of Apple’s Mac Pro workstations will have a second, high-end home video card option within weeks, as NVIDIA is planning to release a version of its GeForce GTX 285 chipset specifically for Macs,” Aidan Malley reports for AppleInsider.

“The GPU maker told AppleInsider on Wednesday that the new card, simply labeled the GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition, would ship in June,” Malley reports. “It will forgo Apple’s preferred Mini DisplayPort in favor of two dual-link DVI video ports. Both 2008 and 2009 Mac Pros will be supported.”

The GeForce GTX 285 will give “owners of Apple’s Xeon-based workstation their second new graphics option in as many weeks as well as an elevated level of graphics technology — an important factor with the release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard expected to reward GPUs with fast OpenCL performance,” Malley reports.
