well, Thomas T. I can help you a little bit.....yes...there are Graphics cards for the Mac Pro that may have better performance than a MacBoook pro.

You’ll now be able to discover and explore the living open world of Kyrat together. System Requirements.
however---you are running a 2008 Mac Pro tower, so any card you put in there will run a bit slower due to bus speed. If you wanted Mac Compatibility
I'd say maybe Sapphiretech 7950 with 3 gigs Vram, but seeing as how that doesn't matter that much to you, depending on what version of OS X you're running, the R9 290 or 390x may work for you. Dunno about nvidia. maybe the GTX 980 from evga would do the job. I'd also be inclined to see if there are any updates for the Windows version of Steam, UPlay, and Far Cry 4, and for the drivers for your current video card. I've looked up the requirements for Far cry 4 and here's what it says: Windows 7 SP 1, 4 gigs memory, Geforce GTX 460 or Radeon 5850 (1 gig vram) for bare minimum, intel Core i5@ 2.6 Ghz. Recommended is 8 gigs memory, R9 290X video card or better, same windows requirements. I think the chip in your Macbook pro has maybe 1 gig of ram
so that's not the whole problem. However, you are running a virtual box, Bootcamp, so for best results you'd need to have something a bit beefier, for video card, system, etc. I'd also check to see if there are any Bootcamp updates, esp for video card drivers, etc eetc .. I've heard that BootChamp may be helpful.
So....in answer to your question....yes absolutely. Can you run Far Cry 4 on your Mac Pro?? that remains to be seen. on the OS X side are you using 10.10.4? The HD 2600XT and the GeForce 9600 are pretty old video cards and not really that powerful.I'd also see if either one is clogged with dust. The 2600XT is known to get that way... If you can snag a 5770 for your Mac pro or a GTX 680 at a good price that might tide you over for now
