You will have to use an appropriate Mac compatible video card (a.k.a. GPU). You can't simply install a PC based solution.

How much is your budget? Keep in mind that Mac GPUs tend to cost quite a bit more than PC GPUs of the same model family.

I also assume you want a new GPU at least as capable (likely more so) than the GPU you currently have. BTW, does your current GPU still work properly?

I DO NOT RECOMMEND any available GPUs that have been "flashed" from the PC version to the Mac version. They almost NEVER fully work properly.

Please clarify. In the meantime, this is a very nice Mac GPU:
