Mac Pro 3,1 with Nvidia GeForce 8800GT....Nvidia K600 or AMD FirePro W2100?

Hi everyone,

I've rescued a Mac Pro 3,1 that was heading for the recycle yard and was looking for cheap upgrades for it. It already has an Nvidia Geforce 8800GT in it that works fine, but I also have come across a couple of other video cards that I was wondering if they would work? They are an Nvidia Quadro K600 and an AMD FirePro W2100. Both are from old Windows machines, but if either would work in my 3,1 and be more powerful I'd like to try them. I can't really fine either of these listed in the lists online for supported card options for Mac Pros so I was hoping someone here could give me their 2 cents on the subject. Also, if either of them would work I'd like to do the easiest option without having to flash anything, etc if possible. Also, does anyone know how these two cards compare in power to the Geforce 8800GT?

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it!!
