What's the best g5 video card w/ 2 DVI ports?
#11
[quote M A V I C]Yes, but that's mostly worse the he's got now and he did ask for the "best."
Can he run dual DVI displays now?

And I will bet he isn't gonna tax this card.

To quote you, "do your own research."

And I will bet he isn't gonna tax this card.

Why even suggest a downgrade?

And for anyone who's following, the card hal currently has will do dual DVI displays right now. One dual-link and one single-link.

I, like you do most of the time, was not paying attention!

Hal, if you might "someday" get a 30" display, why not wait?
Prices only go down.

I have admitted to missing stuff in threads in the past, so I certainly can't point fingers on that. Of course, "most of the time" would be a gross exaggeration.

THe card will hardly be used to it's fullest, but I'd like to squeeze as much power outta this thing as possible.

yes, I'm running two dvi displays with the 9650 (a pull from the recent G5 line)

What's with the ugly dog forum?

I already have the ability to run one 30" display - I don't want a new card to lack that feature...

The "dog" forum lists out details on how to "flash" PC video cards to work on Macs.

Depending on what you're doing, either a 7800 GS or x850 would be the most powerful card you can get in there. http://www.barefeats.com/mutant3a.html

A 6800 would be a close runner up.

The Radeon X800 and the NVIDIA 6800 Ultra are the only mac cards that originated as Mac cards that are AGP which will work in your system.

The rest of the cards either require significant modification, or are the wrong interface.

Use your DVI/ADC card--and then run an ADC>DVI dongle=2 DVIs for $19 at the AppleStore
