I just installed an ATI X1900 in my Mac Pro. Installation went witout a hitch.

After booting up my Mac I got a screen display where you're supposed to select a configuration (1-4) that is used to optimize the new card. I picked option 4 (I think). How do I get back to that screen and what option does everybody else use? I don't remember what it was called, something like "Video Setup Utility" or "PCI Setup Utility" or something. I searched my HD, looked in the Utility folder but can't seem to find it. Nothing is mentioned about it in the installation guide, Apple online support has nothing about it that I can find.

I tested it out on UT 2004 and the graphics are fantastic, much better than the standard card. I can hear the fan when playing UT, it sounds like a blowdryer set to low. For Photoshop or anything else it's completely quiet.

It doesn't seem to speed up graphics rendering in Bryce, which kind of disappoints me. I thought it would speed all 3D type applications.
