Macworld is reporting that Nvidia is recommending Mac Pro users with GeForce FX 4800 or GTX 285 graphics chips update the Mac drivers for their systems.

The report says that "the driver update is needed to maintain Mac OS X kernel compatibility, and will affect users who plan to update to Mac OS X 10.5.8."

If you have either of these graphics cards installed in your Mac Pro you should download and install the drivers before updating Leopard to 10.5.8.
