PC PCI-E video card for Powermac G5 late 2005 - 06/18/11 03:42 AM
Hi, I'm Nick, and I'm new to "real" macs. glad to be part of the club. I just got a G5 tower from my cousin for 30 bucks. not a bad deal if you ask me. outdated, sure. but in the tasks i do, it blows away my 600 dollar (after upgrades) AMD hackintosh (installed from retail, BTW. im no pirate. if you're wondering.)
However, the video card in this thing is a joke. a geforce 6600LE? come on, really? I came across a thread on mac rumors about someone who supposedly had a flashed 9600GT in his 2.7GHz quad G5 tower, but he seems to be inactive on the forum, so I cannot ask him where he got it or how he did it. anyone here have any idea?
thats one thought. the other thought, is i have 2 video cards laying around. both work fine. one is a eVGA Geforce 7900GS 256MB pci-e. the other is a radeon HD3650. any chance of getting either of those going?
specs are: 2GHz PowerPC G5 Dual-Core
Late 2005 model
air cooled (thank god)
PCI-E Geforce 6600LE
160GB Sata hard drive. (wish i could use SSD in this)
