What's the best PCI video card out there and by who. I am using a 32 Mb Radeon Mac edition (the first one), anything better out there? Gabby |

I think the original Radeon is the best available that will work in OSX. http://barefeats.com/gr7000.html did some benchmarking of both the original Radeon and Radeon 7000 and the tests clearly show the Radeon 7000 falling behind the original Radeon in 3D performance. The Radeon 7000 lacks the additional rendering pipelines that the original Radeon's Charisma engine has. |

In my humble opinion- The ATI Radeon 7000 64mb DDR. Anyway.. I think the R7K is a little better on the 3D front then the origenal Radeon if you have 64mb RAM on it. Sure its PC, but I have flashed the card, and it is definatly with the extra 64mb (the 64mb is fully recognized and used). And- if you can find one- I only paid $99 Canadian for it. Sure beats $199 for the same thing just with DVI and TV Out (the PC Version doesn't have those components on the board). |
