It was always included in graphics and at trade shows.   On the topic of
the Macpro as a workstation though.  For nuke its fine, for heavy GPU it
will 100% overheat. even a light weight GPU app like Resolve can have
issues.  Drop frames.etc. you can google mac pro firepro d700 problems.
 IF they make a new version I would wait for that.    I still find it very
under powered for Comp.   I would rather slap down the cash for dual xeons
in something like an ASUS g2 2000 esc with 4 full x16 pci-e v2 slots.   I
get a Geekbench score around 38,900 with dual 2680 v2.    So a Macpro cost
about the same with one proc and old ATI cards (no cuda) and scores about
8000 points less.  through in a pci-e  direct ssd and 3-4 titans or just
GTX 980's and go fast.     I have zero love for window and would rather Run
OS X as an artist station then Redhat (or Cent) but I don't like waiting on
the machine to catch up with me.  Of course that all depends on if they
have fixed the 24C Threading bug in 9.0v8.
