Hi!

I can´t easily find what Graphics card to choose for our 2 new G5 PRO.
In earlier versions it was very important that we used a certain card. In some posts here i read about Nvida as well as ATI, does Catalyst 3.3/4 work on both?
I would like these maschines to work at least 2-3 years for the Catalyst PRO.

Please advice!

Best regards /Abbe Westerlundh

catalyst works on both nvidia and ati.

its too early with intel mac pro to make any definitive suggestions.

2-3 years - you will be lucky - in the world of computers...

Hi Richard.
Thanks for a promt reply! I know its a bit overly optimistic but the G5´s we have know been working without change for 3 years soon... :)

So do you have a favorite card of the three they sell now with the G5 PRO?

All the best /Abbe

there have been 3 internal architecture changes in the last 3 years.
PCI to PCIx
PCIx to PCIe
and G5 to intel.

Thats almost everything.

no pci hardware - at all -from 3 years ago will work inside Intel Mac Pro's - including graphics cards.

not enough time to determine.
