The problem here is that for PCIe cards of any type to be officially rated as compatible with being connected via a Thunderbolt PCIe expansion box, they need firmware which supports this approach. Now taking your post literally, you could be asking for recommendation for a PCIe video card that works both in a MacPro5,1 and also would work in an external Thunderbolt connected box as I described above. This will not help you with regards to your MacPro5,1 and has limited help currently for even Thunderbolt equipped Macs. (It was actually launched in 2013.) This is often referred to as an 'eGPU' as in external GPU. It is possible in theory to fit a standard PCIe video card in a PCIe expansion box and connect that expansion box via Thunderbolt to a computer which of course supports Thunderbolt, e.g. As Illaass said you cannot add Thunderbolt to a classic Mac Pro i.e.
