Graphics card question
by Alejandro Flores on Aug 30, 2009 at 6:03:45 pm

How will upgrading my Nvidia 8800 GT with a Radion ATI 4870 benefit Color, faster rendering? Faster overall performance?, better display quality?

will I notice any difference at all?

just curious to see if it's worth the upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

Also considering GeForce GTX 285 for Mac, interesting test results

When I "downgraded" from the 8800 the ATI 2600 in my Mac Pro Octo 3.2 I saw immediate improvements on overall performance in Color and faster renders. In the new Mac Pro Octo 2.93 we have the ATI 4870 card and it just smokes Color.

ATI has always worked better with Color for whatever reason, no matter how fast the nVidia card is for other things.
