NVidia Cuda, Mac OS X 10.10.1; Quadro K4200 install

* Quadro K4200 is installed instead of the original graphic card in my Mac Pro 5,1 (Mid 2010).

 - Don't worry about the power cable. I used the cable in the computer for the old graphic card.

 - during the booting, the initial screen does not appear. No worries.

 - Since the original graphic board occupied two x16 slots (even if it needs only one) due to its thickness, I could not use it anymore. Kept it safe.

 - Both of the graphic cards may be used if you can put them into x16 slots at the same time. Then, you need another power cable for the new graphic card. In my case, K4200 box had several power cables but without the one I needed. So have one made in Yong-San, Seoul, Korea. 

  Wants to make it DIY? 8pin-8pin mini, 1-1, 2-2, no cable twist connection. Then, the cable looks twisted when straightened. Or, find one from Amazon.
