Anyone used one of these?

Hi folks, just wondered if any of the geeks amongst us (Me included in that of course) had experience of the card below?

(I assume it's ok to link to a manufacturers site, sorry if not?)

The reason for me choosing the nVidia over ATi is I dual boot into Mac OSX and nVidia works straight off the bat, keeping my Mac install totally "Vanilla" (Mac geek speak ).

I am not a big gamer but do intend to indulge more, the system is used more for dual screen TV stuff (WMC etc) but my current GPU is well overdue an overhaul (7600GS!), Dual DVI was also a requirement.

I have had to order the card elsewhere (Nothing suitable on OcUK, always my first port of call ) as they were selling out fast but it can be returned of course if it turns out to be a bad choice...

Had an inno3D 7900gt, there was nothing special about it, reference card etc.

Would think about spending a little more to get a good warranty with that sort of price card, think BFG...

IIRC you can't just put any PCI-E card in a mac. I'm fairly sure they have different firmware and cost a lot more for the trouble

It's a PC (Aka Hackintosh), running official Snow Leopard 10.6.2

Ooo didn't notice mac...
That does complicate things a little.
Ninja, should be fine then
PS delete that, banned topic

I couldn't find BFG's in stock anywhere!

It's a PC, I just use Mac OSX from time to time.

Maybe this will help...
