The GeForce 8800 GT Mac Edition was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched in February 2008. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the G92 graphics processor, in its G92-270-A2 variant, the card supports DirectX 11.1. Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 100, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12.
