How do I get the XFX R6770 Core Edition video card to work with my Mac Pro?

How do I get the XFX R6770 Core Edition video card to work with my Mac Pro?

I just bought a used Mac Pro (Mac Pro 1,1). The former user had bought an
XFX R6770 replacement card for the NVIDIA 7300 (original) card. He hadn't
installed it yet, but assured me that this was the recommended card from a
Genius Bar employee.
However, I installed the card, plugged in the PCI-E power cable,
and...nothing. When I open up the Expansion Slot Utility
(/System/Library/CoreServices/Expansion Slot Utility.app), it shows that
in the first PCI slot, there is an "ATI VGA-Compatible Controller Card."
I'm really not a hardware person at all. I'm completely lost. Any
suggestions on how to get this card working?
