I am by no means an expert, but based on my recent research it appears as though there may be opportunities to extend the life of the great 1,1 and 2,1 systems even further.
Native Support for newer video cards: MacRumors Forums - View Single Post - Confirmed AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition Running on Mac Pro
PCIe scaling: Ivy Bridge PCI-Express Scaling with HD 7970 and GTX 680 Review | techPowerUp
Based on the above, am I correct to assume that I could purchase a newer video card that has native support without any modifications (aside from the missing Apple logo upon startup), power it using an external power supply (or take a chance running as-is), and the performance wouldn't be that horrible when compared to a PCIe 2.0 or 3.0?
