2nd graphics card needed for Mac Pro

Phate · 7 Oct 2008 at 14:01

Hi all,

very soon I'm going to be purchasing a new primary monitor/3rd

So I need a 2nd graphics card for the MP

Currently have the Radeon X1900XTX 512mb jobby...basically I don't want to spend millions but I don't want a rubbish card, 90% of the time the monitors will be used for iTunes, Mercury, playing videos/movies - all my photographic work and gaming will be done on the new monitor, which will be connected to my current card.

Any ideas guys?

Many Thanks,
Jake

Ok cheers

- I was aware that only certain Mac cards would work, just wondered which one would be up for the job, tbh.

Hmm...I'll give Apple a ring to see if it will work without any issues, I think it will.

On that note, does anyone know if a second card will work seemlessly with my current one?

Thanks,
Jake
