Apple isn't renowned for offering a wide variety of graphics solutions in its high-end Mac Pro systems, but it's believed to be upping its game by making NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 285 available to its customers as soon as next month.

The card - deemed NVIDIA's fastest single-GPU solution by HEXUS earlier this year - will be manufactured by EVGA and will be known simply as the GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition.

Looking identical to the PC counterpart, complete with its dual-link DVI ports, the card will offer 1GB of GDDR3 memory and 240 processor cores. Although Mac Edition clock speeds are yet to be revealed, NVIDIA claims performance will match that of the GeForce GTX 285 on the PC.

On its arrival, the GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition will dethrone ATI's Radeon HD 4870 as the most powerful GPU available for the Mac Pro.

Stream processing, or in other words CUDA

It would give a nice boost to things like Adobe's CS4 suite.
