So I bought it, installed it, to find I then needed to purchase 10.5.6 (Leopard), so bought this, installed, fitted the 8800. “The 8800GT is the best one for this model”…. Recently spoke with Apple re a graphics upgrade. Work demanded I leave the mac pro for a while and now on my return, I am still convinced Ive been sold a 5k bathtub. I have used the ATI x1900 as Apple recommended on initial purchase… It seemed to run ok with MOTION graphics at osx9.x, then on upgrading to 10.X Tiger, it slowed dramatically for me or appeared to. I have the 2007 2.1 2 cpu Quad-core (core?)
Best graphics card for mac pro early 2009 update#
UPDATE 8/27/10 We tested the Radeon 58 graphics cards with all model year (2006-2010) Mac Pros…see the results at this revealing post! Update note 3/17/09 should note that testing was done under OS X 10.5.6 and was done with a Mini DisplayPort straight into a new display. We’ll have more details later, but there’s a preliminary first look summary. If you have an 800MHz Mac Pro now – the GT120 ought to become a nice option all around… And the 4870 maybe too for those wanting that super video performance while not needing it to support two displays. No go with either of Video Cards from the new Mac Pros. GT120 – Works like a champ with both DisplayPort and DVI Port. The quick results are: GT120 functions, in both ports, in 800MHz Mac Pro.Ĥ870 – Works A-OK via its DVI port. Our back room gurus tested the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 and the ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics cards from the early 2009 Mac Pro in the 800MHz and 667MHz Mac Pro models with varying success.
