Hello,
So I got my Power Mac G5 last week and its running great with Leopard. I've just bought some extra ram for it.
The 64mb Nvidia FX5200 it shipped with though is a lil jerky on Leopards graphical stuff and I wondered if buying the 128MB ATI 9600 XT with ADC would solve this issue? I have to get something like this as I need an ADC port for my 17'' Studio display and from my understanding this is one of the better GPU's with an ADC connector.
I would buy the ADC adaptor, but they are a fortune more than I paid for the G5 and only come up for sale on ebay once every blue moon. Can anyone who has this card in a G5 confirm that it works quite smooth and more fluid than the FX5200 with Leopard, otherwise if the performance is the same I think i'll give it a miss.
I also understand the FX5200 doesn't support Leopards transparent menu bar does the ATI 9600 XT?
thanks a lot,
