Hard times apon me
My boss got the new Adobe Creative suite 4
Won't play nice on my Apple G5
Running Geforce FX 5200
Need to upgrade video card
Any one know where I can find an AGP card for apple?
I was told I could use a MS based card and flash the bios for OS X ?
AAAAaaaaggggghhhhhh...........
 
Quite frankly even if you find a card the performance won't be spectacular because 3d cards from that generation are not that powerful.

You'd probably find the performance better on the new Intel iMacs that on a G5 with updated vid card. I am aware that that dosen't help and you are probably not looking to change your machine. I am just saying.

What kind of G5 is it?
 
Yea I know
But tell that to the Head cheese:eek:
walk over dollars to pick up pennies
It's a Power Mac
Dual 2 ghz PowerPC
 
Well those new mini could do the trick at least if you don't find what you are looking for. With 4GB they are quite good. Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz and Nvidia 9400 should be good. IF you find a video card for your G5 then I am afraid it be could more than 300$ unless you find something used and the performance might not be awesome.

Those G5 are nice for PS3 but PS4 is different =/
