I've got a dual 2.3Ghz G5 from late '05 that I use at home for
running QC compositions in my studio. It's still got the original
GeForce 6600 in it and I run the graphics outputs to 2 flat screens.
Recently I put a larger HD screen in the studio which has VGA input
and I've been dreaming of running it as a third monitor for the G5
specifically for outputting compositions at full screen. My research
on video card options thus far has been kind of confusing so far.
Discussions on Apple forums for G5 seem to suggest you need a PCIe
card that is specifically Mac compatable and that you can't get them
easily or cheap. Does anyone else run a G5 desktop configuration
with multiple videos cards? Any recommendations from the QC users in
this situation?
When those machines were current I used one with all four slots
filled. This worked and I think I was using nvidia 6600s which were
cheap. I also think that I had problems if I tired to mix and match
the high-end cards video with the low-end. I think I was only able to
use three monitors at a time. I also think the problem I would see
while trying to use all four cards was that the last 25% of a monitor
had a feathery edge were the graphics ended and the rest of the screen
was black.
Thanks,
