Upgrading Video Card for G5


Recommended Posts

Halo for the Mac just came out and my friend with a 1.8Ghz G5 wants to upgrade his crappy video card from a 9600 to a 9800 Pro (or higher). My question is: can he buy a new ATI card with ADC/DVI instead of DVI/VGA? The Apple website doesn't offer much info regarding upgrading your video card. Thanks in advance!

I don't think it's the graphics card, I think it's Halo itself. It does run like crap on both PC and Mac.

Back to the question... to get a 9800 Pro with ADC/DVI you'd have to get it off eBay from someone who wants to get rid of it. Otherwise, you have to get it from ATI, which has DVI/VGA.

$399 if you want it... no real reason for it to be more, ATI just figures they can charge more for it.
