ATI Radeon 4870 X2 Installation

[acook59]

Hi Guys,

Just got this card under the impression that it would only work in windows under boot camp but i've since heard it might work in leopard too, is this true and also, how?

Also, i have a problem installing the card. It requires 2 power leads. But i already have an nvidia geforce 8800 gt installed. Does anyone know how i can have both installed at the same time? If i were to remove the nvidia card, would leopard still work?

You'll probably need a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter.

Quoted from someone at the Apple Discussion forum:

It will work fine in boot camp but unless you want to play games like crysis with full specs and in HD on a 24 inch or 30 inch screen, you would be better off getting the Apple 4870. there is no need for the dual core. it is over kill that is all

Go check out the Mac Pro forum, there's stacks of posts in there in regards to running non-Apple cards.
