ATI Radeon 9600 PRO PC & Mac Edition
- I use my G5 every day for my graphic design business. As awesome as they may be, I am trying to put off the leap to an Intel-based Mac Pro for a while longer. I have decided to spend a few hundred bucks in upgrading the G5's graphics card, RAM and hard drive.This is an easy install, both card and software (check the company's web site for the latest, as the CD that shipped had an earlier version) gave me no problems. I think it is an inexpensive way to get another year or two out of a solid machine.
- Works great on my PowerMac G5 1.8Ghz. This is a recommended product to those who are looking for a budget upgrade.
RADEONX1900 G5 Mac Edition ROHS/256MB Pcie
- 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…
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5870 1 GB DDR5 PCI-Express Card HD587AZNF9
- This is the best investment I've made in a while. For about 2 months I was researching in forums and looking the reviews of numerous sites and after evaluating all the information available the HD5870 was my pick (Btw I've always been a Nvidia fan)... Why?... Compared with the GTX 480 it use less power (130w difference under load is a lot) and the real improvement on FPS with the GTX 480 is about 10 to 15 and in some games is equal so in terms of money vs performance is not a great buy. At this moment Nvidia fans (like I was) reading this may say that FPS difference is higher and I say that is true but when playing with a lame AA 4x... Real gamers use AA at least at 8X and AF at 16X an that's…
- Awesome card.... runs games like clockwork. I am very satisfied. I brought and got a little later than expected but it was worth the wait!

NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 GT VIDEO ADAPTER
- The apple store now has this for $279. Great card. Worth the upgrade.
- Works great. haven't had any problems and doesn't make too much noise. Works well with my games too. But even better for work stuff
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 for Mac by PNY 1.5GB GDDR3 PCI Express Gen 2 x16 DVI-I DL, DisplayPort and Stereo OpenGL, DirectX (Boot Camp), CUDA, and OpenCL Profesional Graphics Board, VCQFX4800MACX16-PB
- The board worked out of the box, and the only difficulties so far were of my own making. As a converter from Windows to Apple systems, I have much to learn, so will confine my comments to mechanics for others who are considering this product. It is well packaged, both on delivery and in handling. It is fully cased, thus making installation easy compared with open board formats. The installation is simple if you read the instructions which came with the MAC PRO manual about moving the PCI cage. Telephone support from PNY has been excellent,CUDA turns out to mean Compute Uniform Device Architecture.While the device is a bit noisy, it interacts well with my older flat screen monitors an allows…
- I don't have to say much about this product, is enough if you look the work we're creating, time saver comes to mind, To be able to work faster allows us to get more clients and that is affecting our bottom line, MO money!!! I recommend the NVIDIA Quadro 4800 to any professional, great technology!!! I want some more!!!
ATI 100-435317 Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition for G5 256MB AGP Video Card
- I bought this video card to speed up Aperture on my G5 tower, and it has more than doubled the speed of the app. A photo with lots of adjustments, particularly spot healing, still bogs down everything, though. I took off one stare for the fan noise. It's not overly bad or obtrusive, but it can be heard constantly when the G5's fans are at their lowest setting.
- I'd like to add that the X800 XT for Mac worked wonderfully (once I received a working replacement from ATI) with my G5-2.0 using Tiger, but now upon upgrading to Leopard the fans are a little louder (noticeable but not terrible), and I periodically get a flash of green or pink on my entire 30" Cinema Display screen when trashing a file or closing a window or application. This may only be a problem with the combination of G5-Leopard-30" Apple Cinema Display.Ivor
