Bootcamp Windows 7(64bits) and Geforce GTX 470


i want use graphics card not supported osx mac pro 2008. on mac pro 2008 there installed geforce 8800 gt. bootcamp want use geforce gtx 470 graphics card in windows 7 - 64bit. dont need geforce gtx 470 in osx. mac pro 2008(2x2.8ghz quadcore) have enough pci-slot-space install both geforce 8800 gt , geforce gtx 470?

should these steps work:

1. install geforce gtx 470 in second pci-slot.
2. connect dvi-cable of geforce 8800 gt monitor , start mac-osx geforce 8800 gt.
3. install bootcamp en install in here windows 7 - 64 bit.
4. start windows 7 - 64 bit bootcamp. connect new dvi-cable geforce gtx 470 new monitor(or same).

able use geforce gtx 470 succesfully after step 4? if yes, after install newest drivers of geforce gtx 470 windows 7 - 64 bit os , bootcamp, video editing programs such premiere pro , powerdirector support geforce gtx 470 without problems?

motherboard(or other components) of mac pro damaged in way if put these 2 graphics card in pci-slots?

can powersupply of mac pro 2008 handle both cards? matter if cards arent of same model? want use geforce gtx 470 bootcamp , geforce 8800 gt mac-osx.

after installation of gtx 470 in second pci-slot, have connect card powersupply cable? how do both cards , cables need this? , there else should do?

had read somewhere there needed extern powersupply, couldnt use standard powersupply of mac pro 2008 both videocards(since should supporting 900-1000watt if not wrong)?
 

feel free use both "search" function here , "google" in general. these questions have been answered few dozen times, should not difficult find answer. in fact, can use gtx470 in osx simple little kext added system folder.
