I recently acquired a Radeon 9800XT that I replaced my stock GeForce FX 5200 Ultra card with in my G5 2x1.8GHz. Now When I do simple things like move a finder or Safari window around it's very choppy. The Genie effect or opening finder windows is also not as smooth as it used to be. Playing .mov or any other video files results in serious frame dropping and trying to play a DVD just crashes the player right away.
Wolfenstein will no longer launch and gives me this message
"aglChoosePixelFormat Failed" & "Couldn't start OpenGL"
So it seems to me like an openGL issue. I also got a program called "OpenGL Extensions Viewer" which has an OpenGL testing feature. It crashes about 2 seconds into the test. Tried putting back the stock GeForce FX 5200 Ultra card and all is fine again.
I thought maybe I was missing a driver but since this is a OEM card all driver updates should come with system updates I believe, and I'm running 10.3.7
