G5 PPC Graphics Upgrade
by The Heat on Aug 16, 2008 at 2:19:47 am

I'm seeking advice on upgrading my G5 PPC Graphics Card. I'm currently running the Apple supplied ATI 64 MB card. I would like to purchase the Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Edition Graphics Card or the Geforce 6800 GT. Are these wise choices or are there others that would solve my slow but dependable system? Best regards.

Hi,
if your G5 is one of the first generation, I think your only option is the Radeon 9600.
Those Macs use a AGP bus.
Newer models use PCI-Express graphic cards.
I replaced the GC of my G5 (End of 2.004) with the Radeon 9600 and works great.
