Hey all!
I’ve been looking at what PCIe video cards will work best in my late-05 G5. I had a lot of success flashing an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 but found some of the performance for gaming lacking. Not surprising, since it was definitely a card oriented toward technical work rather than gaming.
I am curious if anyone has ready information on the GPUs which are compatible with MacOS on the G5. I know Linux/BSD is basically an open question since the slots are PCIe, but for this I’m really focused on MacOS first.
I recently sold my Quadro for a great price (considering I got it from Goodwill for $30) and would like to look at getting something else, possibly an ATI card as I’ve heard they are better for retro gaming.
Appreciate any thoughts yall have. I didn’t see this topic discussed elsewhere but it would seem to be of some importance for the late-05 G5 collectors.
