Apple OEM/Mac Edition cards we still need:
Are any missing?

Cool! I totally forgot about that card, never had one in any G5 I got.

Openmark is really good about benchmarking only the vid card and ignoring the rest of the system.

I tried the x850xl in a dual 2.0 and dual 2.7 and got the exact same number.

Interesting 9800 is only slightly faster than a 9700. Was wondering about that.

Remember that macs use OpenGL, and PC's use DirectX.

The 19xx series might have been hugely faster at directx, but not so good at opengl.. thats my guess.

Could also be the quality of mac drivers, maybe they just didnt properly make use of the newer cards.

Posted result picture. It says x800 engine, but its the apple x850xt:


Whats scary, is there were 2 x800 series cards faster than this one. The x800xt-pe was faster than the x850xt, and the x850xt-pe was faster still, I would love to see one of those flashed to run at its proper speed in a G5.

Just benchmarked my xserve g4 1.33ghz with the agp adapter and ati 9600 256mb pc/mac edition.

It scored 5018, exactly the same as the above poster got.

I finally got out my apple 7800GT card that originally shipped with my G5 Quad to benchmark it. Scored 12700.
