- I user Aperture, Shake, Final Cut Studio, and needed something more than what the base card was in my Quad G5. I threw this card in and noticed a big difference in Aperture when looking at a large quanity of high end shots. I have over 100 gig of pictures in aperture so it is hiting the video pretty hard, plus they are in Raw format.Final Cut and Shake really hits the apps due to rendering and all the switching screens... I could not ask for a better after market card for the money. I just wish ATI would release some new drivers for the Card to utilize all the power. Driver Support is kinda bad.. but other than that it is nice card.
- I bought this card to replace the stock video card (NVidia GeForce 6600) in my G5 Quad. Processing in Aperture was kind of pokey with that card and I was looking for an improvement. With the X1900 imports are about four times as fast (a huge, and welcome, surprise) and as I had hoped various editing features are also significantly improved.I did have a few drawing glitches with early versions of Leopard but these corrected themselves as Apple sent updates.The only downside to this card is noise; when it's being used hard (not only for Aperture but also video/DVD display) its fan really blows, making the Quad a whole lot noisier. For day-to-day use, though, it is fairly quiet.If you need more…
