URGENT: Best Snowleopard and QT versions for best performance

[Mr_P]

Thanks for the diver link. - will see what it does.

I cant recomend firmware upgraded or non-apple cards...
... to coin a phrase from a well known manufacturer: - 'can yield unexpected results'
(never thought I'd ever say that!...)

While it may work fine for you - there are other users that shouldn't take the risk.

As mentioned: the GT120 card is a good cheap fix for the moment until apple releases an update

Hi There,

I bought my video cards flashed as well on Ebay. It all has to do with availability by Apple.
You run a risk, but if you skim the web, you'll find out which brand and type is the best to look for. You can flash your cards yourself, or buy them on ebay.

We have 2 4870 with 512mb more memory then the standard cards. It's really worth the gamble.

Anyway, getting back to my first questions, I have installed 10.6.2 and I see 5 windows with 1080p clips looping flawless. no stuttering. with 10.6.5 I did 3.

Thanks Mr P!

cheers Michel

As an FYI the issue with the ATI drivers is not fixed in the latest developer build of 10.6.5, which is a little worrying.

Cheers
