It's about time!!!
"Mike, I just noticed that Apple has finally made the Nvidia 8800 GT video card available for 1st generation Mac Pro owners. It's not listed if you search for 8800 GT on the online store, but if you browse the "Displays" section it is down near the bottom of the page. (I didn't see it on that page this afternoon - although the 8800GT kit for 2008 Mac Pros was there - but this one says it's for the earlier Mac Pros, no PCIe 2.0 required.-Mike) It is called "NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (1st Generation) Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro" and lists for $279.00 shipping in 3-5 days. Why they continue to sell the ATI x1900 for $399 at this point is beyond me.
Here is a link (hopefully will not expire) - page notes "Requires Mac Pro (bus speed 1.33GHz) with PCI-Express" (No PCIe 2.0 required - and page has a "Note to owners of Mac Pro (early 2008): Please select the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (early 2008) Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro")
