They work!
After a year, I finally got myself the GTX 770 2 GB card. The display is much better now. I am no gamer but I can appreciate some fluid browsing.
It's a little bit of a hassle, yes, anything involves any slight extra effort I consider it a hassle.
I got to order 2 power PCIe power cable for the card, mini 6-pin to 8-pin. The card is a MSI branded one, it's very quiet "even" it has two big fans. I don't think they are running but if they are they are awfully quiet.
The GPU is not a Mac specific graphic card but it boots up just without the boot screen which I can live with. If I need it I can use the old card for this purpose.
Now this 2008 Mac Pro is more alive than before.
UPDATE: I also have to live with the "fact" that the HDMI won't be outputting audio in this macpro3,1. Oh well. Let me return this card. Just kidding. I am happy this eBay dumpster diving found works.
