I am thinking a= bout doing the same in my MacPro 4,1 system but using a 570 or 580 headless (= just for CUDA processing) and use my "old" ATI HD 4870 for my dual screens. D= oes anyone know if I will have to deal with "the no boot screens" described b= y Karl with such configuration?

True, but my GTX 570 in my MacPro 3.1 runs fine and was pretty c= heap. The only downside is no boot screens.
