The issue with this card is due to a cooling issue with OSX 10.5.6, it has nothing to do with any specific application. I have the same setup and the same card. I started to experience issues with the card only after installing the new OS. The card occasionally crashes the OS, I get lines through images and other issues. You can pull the video card, carefully take the impeller off of the heat sink and blow out the dust with canned air. This will improve it's performance but only until the dust collects again.

You may want to move up to the NVIDIA GeForce 8800. That's the recommended card for first gen mac pro's that experience this issue. See:
